I'll admit it, when I play Survivor in high ranks I feel like I have to because the amount of times I'm almost instantly downed by a nurse, Billy, or spirit is insane. Then right back on the hook I go.... So now with this new reworked DS, I think I can use it and that it might even be necessary in high ranks..


I use to feel bad for using it but idk anymore...

    It's a perk, in a game. You're allowed to use it just as much as a killer is allowed to use NOED or Ruin. It's up to the devs to restrict things, you shouldn't have to do it to yourself.

    You all have valid points

    its a solid perk for solo/endgame now. Old ds made me want to put the game down in the past.

    Killers that get hit by the new DS totally deserve it (most of the times), so no shame on you.

    DS is a QoL perk mate. Nothing feels more unfun to get tunneled for no reason (with 5 gens up for example).

    Don't feel bad, DS became my main perk since its rework together with adrenaline. Must have imo, u never know what kind of killer you get.

    Ds will always be in my build. It is fair now. Little bit strong in the end game but alright.

    No shame in using it, keep it up.

    DS and Unbreakable is a strong combo build, either they pick you up and let you escape or leave you to get up and escape.

    I never used the original DS, but I have a build where I will use the current DS. It is fair now and only the dickish or desperate killers really need to worry about it.

    There's no reason to feel bad for utilizing a perk that discourages tunneling.

    Why you feel bad for use something that is in-game (a perk).

    You can use what you want just like some killer just omega blink, insta-chainsaw etc...

    Btw it prevent scummy plays so you are not supossed to feel bad for punish that tunneler killer :)

    Depends, while yes you can use any perk or add-on, it still shows the lack of skill or in-general is frowned upon.

    For example, if you use MoM and depend on the free hit to continue 10 more loops than that's just abusing a broken perk. Same with Iri head hatchets, if you rely on that to get downs than you're either ironically using it or you're just bad at huntress.

    But hey, you're right on one thing. Its in the game, so use it. Doesn't mean you won't get disliked for it.

    If it is a perk in the game then feel free to use it. :)

    Not sure why people see current ds as "toxic".

    It just there to prevent tunneling. I'm fine with it.

    While I agree with you, MoM and iri hatchets are part of the game and people should ADAPT to it.

    I agree, if you rely on those thing than dont expect to get better as surv/killer

    DS is usually in my build now. Don't feel bad for using it anyone that tells you it is an OP perk still is just having some major bias or something.
