Killer Mains, What Are Your Thoughts on Shoulder the Burden?

Hey everyone,

I’d love to hear from killer mains about their thoughts on the new perk Shoulder the Burden. It’s an interesting addition that allows survivors to reset their hook progression, potentially extending trials significantly. I’m curious about how you all feel it impacts gameplay, especially when it’s stacked or used in well-coordinated teams.

  • How do you plan to counter this perk in your matches?
  • Do you feel like it changes your approach to pressure or targeting?
  • Are there specific killers or strategies that you feel are more effective against it?

I’m genuinely interested in hearing your insights and ideas. Let’s keep this discussion respectful and constructive—I’m hoping to learn from your perspectives and see what creative solutions the killer community has come up with!

    I think it's overestimated.

    It can counter hard tunneling, but all the killer has to do is go for a trade and/or camp to completely screw over the user.

    This perk is still strong.
