Change my view: Spies from the shadows is better than Ultimate Weapon
If you use UW survivors will run away from you as soon as they scream which means you could spend 30s catching up to them especially with Weskers huge terror radius. With Spies though 99% of survivors won't realise you have it and will try to stealth instead of run giving you plenty of time to catch them. Plus you don't have to open a locker to use it.

With spies, you're relying on crow spawn locations which is already lackluster since a good portion of them are in the outskirts. This point alone makes UW superior.
UW can potentially (and usually) reveal the entire team, while you're probably ONLY going to get one reveal from spies at a time.
UW gives survivors the blindness effect.
UW's scream can interrupt actions.

Ultimate Weapon guarantees a 4k if the killer slugs one of the last two people and the survivor doesnt have calm spirit

Funny thing is both of these perks are countered by Calm Spirit.

the main reason why this perk shouldn't get axed.
it's incredible to not have to slug till bleedout or hope survivors loses rigged 50/50 game (guess in whose favour, no, not killer's) of hatch&exit gates.
when devs finally address the issue of survivors getting a handout for existing and ratting, ultimate weapon can go

Shhh! Don’t tell everyone how good Spies is! Keep it a secret otherwise survivors will become aware of it!

Also note that spies have a fixed 36m range, therefore it works on killers with smaller or no terror radius, or stealth perks.
On the other hand, Ultimate Weapon also inflicts a Blind with a notable 30s length.

Nah. In addition to all the reasons listed already, you as the killer have a lot of control with regard to when UW gets triggered, and can use it strategically. With Spies, it's a lot more passive, and won't detect survs sneaking around.

Spies isn't as quite as bad as some think it is but UW is still better. On top of UW's superior information (shows survivor location as opposed to crow near survivor location) it also applies blindness and counters WoO.
