    Depends on you I guess, I heard it was a good perk in general.

    Alert is a great, and genuinely underrated perk. Not only does it show you the killer when they break something, but it also helps you keep track of which pallets are getting broken which is good knowledge to have for chases. Additionally, killers are always going to break something during a match so the perk will frequently find use.

    Nah Alert is not meta, better than before but not even good.

    Current meta is looping+gen rushing.

    Alert is not good for either of these. This is why it is terrible imo.

    I would respectfully disagree that Alert is not useful in the current meta. Looping is the meta which is undoubtedly true, but you cannot correctly loop without being around a pallet, and this is where Alert comes in handy. It stops you from running to a location where the killer broke the pallets, and this knowledge can prevent you from going down in a chase.

    It used to be absolutely terrible there was no reason and running it.

    Most of the time activated not only would you be close enough to see where the killer is which negated the aura effect it had a long cool down.

    Ever since I got buff in the mid chapter patch it's actually really good perk now wouldn't call it meta but it's probably it is the best killer detection perk. 

    I would definitely suggest running it if you are into more of a stealthy playstyle.

    Personally I would say screw the meta... Alert is a fun perk and it's very useful if used with a certain playstyle

    Alert doesn't tell me information that is immediately relevant. Prefer Aftercare or Bond.

    Tbh, reading the killer's aura just doesn't help me. I'm not afraid of killers or going down in a chase...I'm not in a 1v1 to win.

    If i'm playing solo and choose to be stealthy i use it. Start generators and move around wait for the killer to kick them you will know who you are facing and where they are unless it is Freddy or tier 1 Myers.

    Adept Feng was the easiest survivor adept achievement for me and I was on Lerys against a Doc. Her perks are great for staying away from the action and getting gens done on your own.

    Quite good, especially in SWF

    It's decent, but I would still say Empathy outclasses it for knowing where the killer is.

    Empathy is the best aura reading skill for survivors I think, but you need to pay attention to the auras to tell whether they are in a chase or simply running.

    Like others said it gives you info on what areas to avoid due to lack of palletd, Its also probably the best killer info giving perk in the game for solo players. Due to its simple activation and decent arua reading time you will see the killer a lot and this works well with a lot of builds that involve stealth or distracting the killer. I personally love the perk since I like knowing where the killer is and it has saved me a few times against Myers, wraiths, and pigs.
