Is it time for Killers to get 1-2 more perk slots?
It’s 2023. There are almost 100 killer perks (same for survivors).
I believe it’s time for killers get 1-2 more perk slots.
Survivor teams now have 17 perks which includes basekit BT.
Lightborn has become almost a staple with the amount of ways survivors can blind now: flashlights, flashbang (perk), the other gen blinding perk (landmine), as well as firecrackers. So that’s basically 1 mandatory perk.
On console (PS5) I need to run Iron Grasp all the time because the way wiggle affects the console controller especially noticeable with Boil Over, killer literally gets stuck and frozen in corners/turns/walls for 1-2 seconds. I’m pretty sure this is a known issue.
Aside from that, it’s just time to allow killers to bring more perks, period. I want to have more fun and it’s stale and limiting gameplay when all I can equip are 4 perks, or “the same” 4 perks game after game after game.
Now for anyone thinking it could lead to abuse - say 6 hexes or 6 gen regression is too OP. BHVR simply categorizes the perks or does some kind of coding to only allow 4 of any type, like you can currently do today. I’m sure they can figure it out.
It would be nice to feel appreciated as killer players, to have more fun and variety with perk builds, as well as a little more powerful without being OP.
Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.

I think many people severely underestimate how much of a powerboost a 5th perk slot would be.
The fact that you acknowledge that BHVR would have to limit it somehow says enough.
If your solution demands more solutions it probably isn't that good of a solution
Also not going to gatekeep you from any perk you like but Lightborn hardly is a staple. Pretty much every way survivor can blind can be countered or ignored. More of a feelgood perk then anything
And lastly on the note of variation with 106 killer perks and 4 perk slots there are 119.224.560 number of possible builds.
With varrying succes ofcourse but still

If you feel Lightborn and Iron Graps is so mandatory, maybe you need to improve your tactics to dealing with those thing ingame.
But I will agree with you maybe bHVR should do something in general about flashlight and hooking situations to even the score between high level play and not high level play.

Dont want to be rude, but as other says, Lightborn mandatory?
I dont know how bad is carrying someone on PS5 so i dont know how usefull is Iron Grasp but looks a weird pick.

It's not hard carrying someone to the hook on the PS5😆
Don't fight boil over let it guide you to the hook. When you get the feel of the movement the perk does nothing.
