Spine Chill vs Premonition

in General Discussions

Premonition gives you an auditory warning when looking in the direction of the Killer in a 45° cone within a range of 36 metres.

Spine Chill notifies you when the Killer is looking directly in your direction and standing within a range of 36 metres.

Which perk, in terms of tracking the Killer, do you think is the better perk?

Please keep the discussion civil.

    I like Spine Chill more. It lets me know that the killer is heading towards me and the I need to move. Also, it helps do gens faster if they're being looped near by.

    Spine Chill: Gives you non stop warning when the Killer is looking at you, also it gives you 6% boost to almost everything.

    Premonition: Gives more accurate warning than Spine Chill on where the Killer is, then goes on a 30 second cooldown.


    I think Spine Chill is the better perk here.

    Spine Chill, I'll just list the reasons why I think the Perk's better:

    • No cooldown
    • Knowing that the Killer is facing in your direction is more valuable information than getting a better bead on where the Killer is. Good gamesense can already allow you to reliably predict what 45 degree direction the Killer will likely approach you from, but Spine Chill allows you to easily distinguish between a Killer patrolling near you and a Killer patrolling towards you
    • Increased action speeds, which while mostly insignificant is still an undeniable bonus and the skillcheck odds can actually be a big deal if you're good at getting Greats
    • Can be used as a perk in chase to try and counter mindgames thanks to the lack of a cooldown
    • Will always work regardless of what direction your camera's facing, while Premonition won't warn you if you're not looking in the Killer's direction already


    Pretty much the only real advantage Premonition has over it I can think of is that it has less potential Killer counterplay, but I'm not sure any Killer will moonwalk towards a gen on the offchance someone's running Spine Chill, and it's pretty much impossible to tell whether or not a Survivor is running it to be sure.
