Best perk build for survivors?
Hey community,
I just wanted to ask you guys what the best perk build right now is in your opinion.
Imo you have to run decisive strike and iron will 😂 they are literally must have perks for rank 1. So there are pretty much 2 open spots now.
Possible perks would be:
-Adrenaline
-Dead Hard
-Borrowed Time
-Deliverance (I get chased first all the time tho so naaah Ima have to pass 😂)
-For the People
-Inner Strength
-Quick and Quiet
-Head On
-Prove Thyself
-Self Care
-Resilience
-Spine Chill
-Sprint Burst
-Unbreakable
-Urban Evasion (Nah I'm not a bush camping b*tch
-We're gonna live forever
(Right now because of the BP Event)
That are pretty much the perks I can work with now I would appreciate to hear some interesting perk builds from you guys 🤗

Spine Chill and Resilience with iron will is a good combo, it makes vaulting a lot better than it is already and a great build for players that run the killer around. Unbreakable is good with DS and good at high ranks since killers tend to tunnel and slug 50% of the time. Lastly, Sprint Burst is the best exhaustion perk, you can use it to get to a safe spot when the killer is going towards you on a Gen and counters any killer honestly. Hoped this helped :)

I run: Lithe, Adrenaline, DS, & Self-Care.
Feel like DS and Self-care aren't really needed. But they're just there for situations where they're needed. Feel like if I had Jane leveled up I'd probably go with the perk where if you break a totem you heal in a locker. That seems a lot stronger then self-care. And you can replace DS for just about anything. Most killers wait it out anyway. But feel like perks for survivors aren't very important. I'd probably replace it with Plunderer's and do often when I want to play around with items.

I use following as the most optimal build:
Dead Hard:
- Allows me to extend loops for much lunger, getting more Evader points. Can be used to bait bodyblocks sometimes and to save teammates who are in trouble. Get the Killer to chase after you.
Decisive Strike:
- Sometimes I don't run it. Sometimes I don't even have it and jump into a locker, the Killer thinks I have it and respects my non existent DS. But usually I run it because there are the type of Killers who tunnel no matter what. It's just like an insurance.
Borrowed Time:
- If the Killer camps, I can unhook, maybe hooktrade to sacrifice myself for others because at that point I probably black pipped or pipped already.
We'll make it:
- If the Killer doesn't camp, I can unhook, instantly heal the Survivor within 8-10 seconds and keep the fast heal for 90 seconds. I don't get how people could not run this Perk. It denies any Anti Healing Builds and gives tons of Altruism.
Usually I take a Med Kit on top of it to heal myself (basically self care as a 5th Perk but without wasting 2 minutes in the corner of the map.)

First off no perk is a must for rank 1, survivor is very easy and pipping is even easy and i honestly dont think you can de-pip unless youre tunneled and mori`d and running any obsession perk will make alot of killers respect unhooked survivors because DS is op tbh haha but some really strong survivor perks are:
- Decisive strike, gives you 60sec of freedom, even if youre slugged at least you arent dying on the hook
- Borrowed Time, will boost you to rank 1 through safe unhooks, nearly impossible to loose points for unhooking and can mean fee escape for the person on the hook at any point, can also combat instant down perks/add-ons so they can take hits for you
- Spinechill, allows you to know if the killer is coming to you even if in stealth, grants faster vaulting in a chase as the killer normally looks at you, also allows you to finish gens, healing or even get exit games open before the killer can get to you
- Provethyself, easy objective BP and makes repairing gens super fast, can gen rush without any issues and can even help in 3gen issues etc.
- Exhaustion perk, pick any theyre all good and can cost the killer alot of time or can just save your life and extend loops, id rate them in this order, deadhard, lithe, balanced landing, sprint burst (headon is fun but not that great without extra perks)
- Unbreakable, killers have to respect DS alot of the time or they will loose, slugging also causes pressure so if you can get yourself up or just recover faster then thats a pretty strong thing to have
there are so very many strong survivor perks out theres, you honestly dont even need them to do well though, as long as one person has a obsession perk youre less likely to get hard tunneled as the killer will assume DS
