Is BBQ that necessary?
Well, the grind is really annoying, and BBQ is the best perk at the moment to deal with it. The problem is, if I buy LF, I have to pass on Freddy. He seems really fun, and I want him, but the grind is too much.
is BBQ that good? bear in mind, of course, I have to level LF to level 35, and then wait for the bloodwebs of other killers to grant me the perk...
(I talk about the bp gain, not the aura reveal. It’s a nice bonus of course.)

For gaining Bloodpoints, BBQ is a really, really good option. I mean, you get more BPs as Killer anyway and BBQ doubles it, if you get 4 Hooks. And it does not require any different way of playing like WGLF does, because you are just doing what you would do anyway as Killer - put people on the Hook.

Design of BBQ is good on it's own because it's powerful and encourages you to leave the hook, but easily replaceable, because effect is counterable and not very helpful for killers that have another ways to get data. What's irreplaceable is up to 100% BP bonus. Only that part of a perk makes so it's a default perk in any build if you're a poor butt killer hungry for BPs.

well, its literally a 2x BP offering when you hook everyone once.
you dont need to buy leatherface, you can also wait for it to appear in the shrine of secrets.
however, i would definitely say its a great perk for you to choose, it really helps reducing the grind. is it worth the 5$? i would say so. gaining your future BPs twice as fast is just really, REALLY good.

I get that BBQ is a great perk, but you didn’t answer the more important part of my question. Is it with the taking over Freddy? I do want him.
@Mister_xD while I agree that It’s worth 5$, I don’t want to spend those right now. I have 500 auric cells left, so it’s down to Freddy or Leatherface.
0 -
that is purely your decision.
i cant tell you to pick a certain thing over another, it fully depends on what is more important to you:
your BP gain or a new playstyle.
i personally find the new freddy to be very fun - and he has nice perks aswell -, but i cant tell weather you will enjoy him or not. who knnows, maybe you will turn into a bubba main?
then since you specifically asked for it, here is my advice:
buy freddy and wait for BBQ to appear at the shrine of secrets.

BBQ is almost never in the Shrine, so I wouldn't wait for it there.
1 -
DEFINITELY get BBQ. Your Freddy will love it once you get him. BBQ is almost never in the shrine, pretty sure its only ever been in there once.
2 -
twice actually, in all the years dbd has been around.
then again thats still more times then :
Corrupt Intervention, Dark Devotion, Distortion, Flip-Flop, Hex: Haunted Ground, Mettle of Man, Solidarity, Buckle Up, Head On, I'm All Ears, Aftercare, Discordance, Furtive Chase, Infectious Fright and Thrilling Tremors all of which have appeared zero times...
Also more then these which have all appeared once :
Autodidact, Hangman's Trick, Iron Maiden, Poised, Diversion, Left Behind, Mad Grit, Breakdown, Dance With Me and Vigil.
Calm spirit has appeared 17 times, and enduring 11 both being the most out of any.
so there's the facts.

For gaining BP BBQ is the best option, bring a Party Streamer and get all 4 stacks and you'll have 200% more bloodpoints already

Yes because you are wasting half your time if your aim is to gain bps and don't use bbq

Its must run it cuts the grind in half on its own...

@nan1234 Freddy is fun to play as but because of the grind BBQ is essential. You can cut the time in half. Leatherface may get some love down the line too. Maybe you will get Lucky and BBQ will be in the shrine in a couple of hours we had several perks reappear after just being in the shrine recently. Fingers crossed GOOD LUCK!

BBQ is practically necessary when starting out. It literally cuts the grind in HALF.
And personally, I consider it a core perk for Freddy. It tells you what gen to teleport to and makes him extremely efficient and snowbally.
Yeah, it'll suck leveling up Leatherface and then having to grind it on the characters you want. But if you wanna play this game in the long run, BBQ will save you drastic amounts of time. It's definitely worth the $5.
Plus, Franklin's Demise and Knock Out aren't too shabby either.

As a freddy AND a leatherface player im going to say go with leatherface. He's inarguably a worse killer yes but his perks are far more useful. Freddy is great don't get me wrong. But perkwise leatherface wins that one. Looking at perks;
Freddy- Fired up - extra speed when gens are done. Its useful against gen rushes, but by the time you get it maxed, the games over. It rewards you for losing basically.
Blood warden- its a decent end game perk but when killers down someone, survivers 99% the gates making blood warden useless.
Remember me - slow down gate opening is ok i guess, but theres much better obsession perks to run.
All Freddy's perks are end game perks and for me, id rather run noed.

Leatherface - perks are much better
Bbq - aura reading and blood points. This rewards you for playing well. Plus the grind to 35 isnt That bad with this.
Franklin's demise - my favorite troll perk. Anytime i see a group or survivors with a bunch of items, especially maps and keys i put this on. If its a high value item, they will waste time going back to find it.
Knockout is the worst of the 3 and really only good for slug builds. But with unbreakable so prevalent this is almost useless.
Moral of the story, looking at just killers get freddy. Looking at perks, leatherface. Best bet give blood and get both.

Vigil's only been on once and its only a little bit younger then bbq i believe. Plus though it is a special case, left behind has only been on there once and it is much older then bbq. that being said it also will likely not appear on the shrine again until bills on console, and there was likely no chance of it appearing between when shrines were synced on console and pc (2.0.0 update i believe) so that takes away from it somewhat.
there is like no reason though that bbq hasn't more, if calm spirit can appear 17 times despite being one of the first teachable's accessible to the player. Honestly all characters that are default to an account, should not have their teachables appear in the shrine, meg jake, dwight claudette, nea, david, billy, wraith, nurse, huntress and trapper's all shouldn't appear as they can all be grinded out by default. things that have appeared in the shrine less/never should have priority over what appears as well.

To be fair, people only buy leatherface for BBQ. So giving it free isnt the best business decision for them

The BP helps with the grind and is genuinely the main reason I run it, but also I’ll admit that I NEED it on basic M1 killers because without any map pressure or whispers, I have no clue where to go after a hook so it helps me keep a steady pace all game, plus it gives a reason to leave hooks sooner so survivors should like it too.

Buy LF and get BBQ, the grind in this game is a joke and BBQ is very much worth having unlocked ASAP.
Don't listen to @Mister_xD He has no idea what he's talking about. BBQ has only ever showed up in the shrine of secrets 2 times.

if i am the onen with no clue, how comes you are just repeating what i already told him?
i just happened to point out that the perk is obtainable for free aswell. yes, that would take time, but it is definitely not impossible. you said it yourself: the perk has already been on the shrine before - and it will again.
i literally told him he'd have to decide on his own what is more worth to him: a new playstyle or a BP booster.
something your post happened to completely miss out on. you only look at one side of the coin: bloodpoints. i said so before and i will say it again: if you are looking for BPs only, go and buy BBQ. however, if you look for an enjoyable experience and fun gameplay, go and buy freddy.

Freddy is better with BBQ as are most killers so splurge on bubba
0 -
If you want BP you will need BBQ and WGLF.
It's also a pretty good perk to find new targets. But I often find the real value of BBQ is in using it to keep tabs on what survivors are doing. "That guy is on a gen, this guy is healing, this guy if running around doing a whole lot of nothing". Let's you know when you need to apply more pressure and when you have room to breathe and do something else you might need to do, like break some pallets, or kick a gen, or place more traps.

BBQ is by far the best perk in the game

Only reason I even use BBQ over Thrilling Tremors is because of the bloodpoints bonus.
1 -
Yes, to cut the grind in half.

You like seeing 30k points at the end of a long match or 60k?
Your answer is there.

oh my, look what treats await you in the shrine this week ^^
now i only hope OP went for freddy xD

If BBQ didn't have a Bloodpoint incentive, I would definitely use something else instead.

I was lucky enough to get it off the shrine that one time it was there. Best 2000 shards spent in my life
0 -
Well, about that... :(
0 -
I mean if you’re in it for the BP, then yes it’s extremely nessacary. If you’re using it for tracking, thrilling tremors works a little bit better imo.

GET IT, ITS IN THE SHRINE HURRY!!!

Too late, I already bought Leatherface. Looking on the bright side, I got BBQ on 3 of my killers( excluding LF), so maybe it wasn’t that bad of a purchase. I really hope that LF will be reworked soon though.
