Strongest solo queue survivor build?
Personally, I think its probably either
A. Decisive Strike, Unbreakable, Borrowed Time and Inner Strength. With Toolbox
B. Decisive Strike, Unbreakable, Borrowed Time and Spine Chill. With Med Kit
Thoughts? Other recommended builds for a rank 8 survivor that doesn't expect teammates to help out ever

Lately I've been running object of opportunity, alert, borrowed and self care. Lets me make informed choices.
Dead hard and decisive etc would be cool but you never know what pallets your team dropped already etc.
1 -
Call me selfish, but I don't run Borrowed very often as Solo because my teammates are usually rushing the hook saves before I can even get there. That goes for all perks that rely on an unhook.
3 -
Borrowed gives your teammates extra chances to avoid getting hooked. If you want to escape, you want your teammates to live as long as possible just to stall the killer if nothing else

OoO, DS, DH, Unbreakable or Adren.

Just as easy to let them die and find hatch.

Nice builds but the lack of solo information is what needs filled. I usually run some kind of survivor aura reading to keep tabs on teammates. Bond is really good but short range so i usually spec for Empathy to see a fellow survivor running the killer across the map also see them drop pallets/etc. Borrowed time in case of a camping situation. Dead Hard to drag on chases and do risky things. Finally I bring We're Gunna Live Forever for that sweet double bloodpoints. Could be switched out for DS/Unbreakable/etc.

Bruh, if you dont even have DS on you going to have a bad time solo queue. Ain't no one body blocking for your random ass.
2 -
Better Togther, Kindred, Decisive Strike, Iron Will.
0 -
Don't need them too. I know the loops. I know how to use Dead Hard. If the killer caught me in the first place I probably already had enough points to at least black pip. Decisive Strike is unreliable at that point. The killer is just gonna slug through it, or it's timer is gonna run out before I can use it anyways.
That's why I said to drop it in the higher ranks, if you're good at the game you don't need it in higher ranks.

I mostly played solo since day 1.
Kindered - I'd use kindered over BT. It will allow you to judge whether or not to stop doing the generator to unhook. You will be able to safely unhook or do gens due to camping. You will also get a lot value out of it every game.
Dead Hard - If you aren't good at chases you may want a stealth perk or speed the game up perk instead. We'll Make It is a great speed the game up perk You can heal 4xs faster then that potato would have Selfcared.
Decisive Strike - Pretty self explanatory
Healing Perk - I prefer Bond, it can help you find a teammate to heal at a gen. Also gives information constantly.
I try bring med kits farmed with Pharmacy instead of Bond. Can then replace Healing Perk with a speed the game up perk, ie. We'll Make It or Prove Thyself

How do so many of these builds not have Kindred? It's by far the strongest generator perk survivors have. This game would be so beyond broken if every survivor ran Kindred. Kindred is the biggest difference between solo and SWF. How often do you see 3 survivors crouch walking towards a hook? Pretty often. Try running Kindred. There's a difference half the time.
3 -
core:
DS
Adrenawin
DH
Fourth slot is usually Iron will OR Kindred when solo, BT or Borrowed when SWF
Medkit if SWF and Toolbox when alone.
0 -
Did you even read my post? In my solo queue experience, survivors rush hook saves all the time. It doesn't matter if I have Borrowed if my teammates are always getting the unhook before I can.
0 -
Solo Queue? Doesn't matter what perks you run between solo and swf besides one perk. When you play solo, you HAVE to run Bond. Hands down the best
0 -
BT is definitely not the best solo queue perk. Take an exhaustion perk or Adrenaline instead.
1 -
DS, DH, aura reading per you prefer, healing perk, or if you're running a med-kit just use anything else you like. DS and DH are about the only two things I find mandatory when I'm playing solo queue. Sadly DH is a laggy mess and hasnt been working well lately, but I'll still take it over others because I'm too use to it.
1 -
I like Alert, Urban Evasion, Kindred and... something else for your playstyle. Lately I've been using Balanced Landing in that slot.
0 -
Rank 6. Highest was rank 3 for like 1 game. Never have i played in a party.
Got to build is spine chill, plunderers amd empathy. 4th slot depends on my mood. Sometimes kindred (depending what survivor im playing as for some reason kindred doesn't like to pop up on my web)
Sometimes i change plunderers with inner strength and 4th slot fixated.
Really only perk i dont ever take off is spine chill
0 -
(ಠ_ಠ)

So... be immersed and get hatch when your team dies?
3 -
I would say: Bond, Decisive Strike, Iron Will, Sprint Burst
0 -
Unbreakable is very viable rn imo.
0 -
Probably not the strongest, but it's very helpful for SoloQ:
Open Handed, Bond, Kindred, Spine Chill
This build is made to know what is happening at all times to make up for the information you'd lack by not playing SWF.
The only perk that helps in chase is spine chill (faster vault speed), so you'll have to rely on your skill in chases.
0 -
There's not a single best build. Survivors don't have that many perks that stand out, that's why you tend to see always the usual suspects (aka meta; they are that for a reason) in builds.
SB, DH, DS, UnbreakaBill, AdrenaWin, Iron Will. Bring a medkit.
I don't think BT is actually meta in solo (see below).
For solo specifically, you can also add Kindred, Bond and Inner Strength to the mix. If you use one those three, you can sub a toolbox for the medkit.
Any combination of the above will serve you well.
BONUS (situational): if you bring a key, you can use Left Behind.
It's not selfish. It's realistic. BT is very good, but more so in sfw and in endgame situations. Randoms hook dive like crazy and many killers just play around BT with stealth or mobility and make a living out of proxying. If there's a camp, even IF you make it there before someone else AND even if you proc BT, 4 times out of 5 the rescued person won't bother trying to take the hit.
0 -
Yeah it is and it can be game changing but I personally very rarely get to use it.
0 -
No, not at all! I totally rescue and heal people. I don't like just letting my teammates die. With Kindred I know when to go for the rescue. :) I was one of the proponents behind the WGLF change where it has to be safe unhooks; so anytime I unhook someone it's probably safe. Also, the Emblem system is not kind to that kind of anti-social play.
0 -
Urban immersion doesn't really fit that playstyle. Being stealthy is only good if the killer is wasting time looking for you, otherwise you'll just get other people chased who were working on objectives. That perk is usually used by players who'd rather crouch around the edges of the map than help their team.
2 -
Well that's not what I use it for. I have Alert. So I'm on a gen, Killer kicks it, I see him, I play squirrel with UE and avoid him. Get back on gen.
I also use UE while approaching for the rescue, combined with my information from Kindred.
It fits my play style fine, and I do not just hide on the edges.
0 -
Fair enough. To me spine chill outclasses UE since it gives you a lot of time to hide and it helps in chases if you're spotted by increasing your vault speed, but if UE works better for you then I'm not gonna judge.
2 -
DS is a is probably the best perk for solo but I dont use it. I dont want to depend on it.
An exhaustion perk. Whichever you prefer.
A strong medkit.
I prefer a more warning approach. Things like spine chill+urban evs. Or at least spine chill so you know when the killer is coming.
Bond. Not to find other people to heal you but to know when to get the hell out of dodge. I cant count the amount of times a survivor being chased runs past me and the killer switches targets. I know it's usually not deliberate but damn does it feel like it sometimes.
Kindred just to help with the face campers. Though some survivors still never learn.

Kindred/Bond

My current solo build is Inner Strength, Kindred, Dead Hard and Iron Will.
0 -
I think it mostly comes down to someone's playstyle. Anyway my best solo build is Iron Will, Bond, Sprint Burst and Unbreakable. They're all perks that will always be useful in some way, and they all have more than one advantage.
0 -
Depends on your playstyle and the character you play. I threw out DH because of servers. It got eaten too often even with 40ms ping. Unbreakable is good, but it doesn't get much use, when I had it.
So this is what I think:
DS, Iron Will/Self Care (what you prefer), Spine Chill and Kindred.
0 -
mine would be:
A)
- Plunderers Instinct
- Ace In The Hole
- Kindred
- Iron Will
B)
- Decisive Strike
- Dead Hard / We'll Make It (comes down to preference)
- Kindred
- Iron Will
(kinda the tryhard build)
the perk i run religiously is Kindred.
not only does it give me accurate information on everything my team is currently going, allows me to coordinate hooksaves with them / let them coordinate them when i am hooked (so not everyone runs at the hook at the same time, wasting time on gens), it also works like a reversed BBQ & Chili! i can see the killer after hooking someone, i know when they want to camp and i see where they are going after the hook. that means i know when they walk towards me and can react to that before they are even in range.
if you ever want to run a Solo perk build, run Kinred. after a short while you wont want to ever unequip it again.
0 -
DS, ubreakable, sprint burst/dead hard/balanced landing and spine chill.
0 -
This build implies that killers are tunneling etc.
I dont use Borrowed Time and Decisive Strike in my games because this Perks will be completely useless if the killer plays "fair"
Also usually everyone runs this meta build so I dont need BT at all. You know that you can unhook people without the killer being 8m away from the hook.
So whats the strongest build imo?
Sprintburst, Fixated, Iron will and Self care with a med kit.
it allowes stealth and durabillity.
You have the option to actually outplay the killer and not just use perks ,wich have no counter to them, for an offensive playstyle.
If a killer camps I just do gens. This punishes the killer more then hook trading with BT and DS.

hello my little rookies
obviously - as a veteran - i have the perfect solo perk set for you, and it will not include whatever low-level perks i was reading here plenty of times
here for u lazy folks:
Iron Will - Urban Evasion/Fixated - Self Care/Inner Strenght - Alert (Metal Gear Stealth Mode - Build)
Diversion - Dead Hard - Self Care - Deliverance (Where he @ tho)
Quick and Quiet - Head On - Iron Will - Self Care (Locker Bully)
Inner Strength - Fixated - Better Together - Spine Chill (yes, i bought Nancy Wheeler cause im a casher)
decisive strike? pffff helps one time then what
unbreakable? pfff killers dont slug that much anymore, and if they do, u can stand up one time then what
kindred? i never used this perk even once, i listen to tha heartbeat and check my surroundings
there is no perfect solo q build, it all depends on "what do i struggle with most"
"i struggle with jukes", "i struggle with not beeing caught", "i struggle with helping the others" etcetcetc.
everyone plays different so u have to find your own style + we have quests now, so obviously u wanna finish those quests aswell
so yes - u cant google "whats the perfect solo q perks" u have to use ur brain and think yourselve
and if ur a real gamer........ you use:
empty - empty - empty - empty
0 -
honestly you gotta fill the playstyle you're comfortable with. I personally do not like relying on my team to do anything because when you play solo, the game is leagues harder and people are potato asf(dont get me started on MM).
Personally? Iron Will, Spine Chill, Inner Str, with a spot for whatever i'm doing. Depends on the challenge/tomb.
0 -
One of my current favorite builds is:
Kindred: You know if the killer is camping and if you need to go for the save. Saved my ass yesterday against an infinite T3 Myers with Insidious and a basement build.
Spine Chill: Helps you avoid the sneaky boys. Also useful against Spirit and when you don't know if it's time to leave a gen.
Detective's Hunch: Beautiful boldness points. Also because ######### your Noed. Run this and Noed never procs. Also help find a gen on some of the trickery maps like Midwich.
The last one rotates depending on need. It's usually Inner Strength, Q&Q, Plunders Instinct, or Adrenaline.
0 -
Dead hard (if you're skilled enough to use it properly)
Kindred (or Spine chill if you're specifically having trouble against stealth killers)
Decisive strike
Iron will (or Inner stregnth if you don't feel confident staying injured for long periods)
0 -
Spine Chill, Iron Will, Bond and Calm Spirit.
Spine is a perk to avoid the killer and also to help acting when he is near but looking away in several situations.
Iron Will is a powerful perk cause helps you to get rid of the killer after one hit or at least let you hide near the killer after a hit. It lets you have deep mental games with the killer after hurt, cause they expect to use grunts to help chasing. You can vanish after hit.
Bond - the perk that "replaces" selfcare cause you can go to another survivor for heal. Also, it gives you important aura reading when rescuing (or letting others do that you can see going there) and when there is a chase near you and you can still on gen cause you see the aura being chased. Also, helps you to make cooperative decisions.
Calm Spirit - you go deep in immersion, no screaming (a lot of counter: Doctor, Freddys snares, no scream at bear traps, no Infectous Fright, etc) wich also helps in vanishing after hit (added with Iron Will). And one thing that pleases me even more : no crows flying, no trails of movement while walking.
Item: medkit, but optional.
