Very Simple Question To You, But It Must Be Asked Every Now And Then...

For survivor, I like to use Bond, it's a great source of information to help decision makings.

For Killer of course its BBQ, need those bps. I also like Discordance, on specific Killer, it's great to avoid gens flying.

Killer: BBQ and chili and STBFL are two VERY good ones I love using, but BBQ takes the lead on that due the the BP gain.

Survivor: Kindred for the win, literally.

WGLF and BBQ are by far the most essential on any build, but I wouldn't call them my favorites per se. I just want to reduce the grind.

It's really hard to pick a favorite because I adore so many perks, but if I had to pick one it would probably be Aftercare. It's one of the most underrated perks in the game imo. I see almost no one running it, but I think it's more powerful than Bond or Empathy. The later in the game it is, the more it shines too. I like perks like that.

Honorable mentions to Break Out, Autodidact, Tenacity, Slippery Meat, and Desperate Measures on the survivor side and Monstrous Shrine and Devour Hope on the killer side.

I'm actually really enjoying WGLF right now. If a killer downs someone and gets deterred with something else just for a few seconds, even if its to kick a gen... a medkit + WGLF does wonders.

I really like the feeling of no longer wasting a perk slot as it actually does something now apart from the extra BP gains.

Adrenaline killer never chases me they usually try to trap me with the slug to 4K or they give in and chase me when there's one gen left. With adrenaline I either pop up with the hatch closing or I'm off to time the gate opening in a smart chase towards a gate. Great with spine chill my close second because distance is so important in looping and looping is fun for me.

For killer, discordance I love early pressure in my killer matches I don't run gen regression perks I just rely on constant pressure.

Autodidact, I just find it really fun to use, and it's really satisfying when it starts working.

I'd like to say....hear me out.....sloppy butcher.

Tbh for Survivor... 100% Spine Chill

It removes all Stealth Mechanics and allows you to know when a pesky spirit is trying to kill yah right behind yah.

For Killer I would say...

Dying Light. Cause well 6 Tokens = 18% Repair Speed for all non obsession survivors which is a win in my book.

Iron Will since I thought this perk was useless for years and now I can't even play without it. It lets u get away with so many things and do so many risky plays.

As for killer Infectious Fright since I'm quite lazy to look around for someone trying to get a potential FL save or pallet

It also promotes a more fun playstyle for both sides, encouraging starting new chases for Killers and not doing generators for Survivors because everyone's rushing in for that easy saves.

Desperate Measures, because I'm very altruistic. It helpful when I need a quick heal or in tight situations.

Visionary cause I'm a humdrum when it comes to generators and I less often 3 gen myself with it.

Repressed alliance: for the above reason

For the people for those killers that camped down bodies

Oh that's a point killer perk would have to be

Devour Hope

Cause I love being able to murder that one toxic tea bagging invisidette.

Killer - Surge. I just find it really satisfying to use and have become really addicted to it recently even though it’s not that strong - it’s made it’s way into a lot of my killer builds.

Survivor - Iron Will. Only started using it not too long ago but the stuff you can get away with is insane I feel like it just gives you so many more options in a tight situation.

Remember Me, because with trapper the perk is hilarious

Bloodhound. I love the aesthetic, highlighted blood looks great, however tracking blood is probably the least useful way to track a survivor

It probably depends a bit on the killer I’m playing since that impacts how food or bad specific perks are, but I like Bloodhound generally speaking. It works all the time on injured survivors, even if they’re crouching around, which makes it almost impossible for you to not find an injured survivor if you follow their trail. Nurse’s Calling obviously gives stronger information but it only works if they happen to be healing in your typical terror radius essentially.

I’ll give special mention to Deerstalker. It seems silly but knowing exactly where slugged survivors are is just a nice quality of life effect. How many times have you slugged someone to chase someone else, come back and you can’t see or hear the person you slugged because they either crawled into a corner to hide or you forgot where you downed them and they have a perk or sound issue that means you can’t hear them? Well this perk eliminates that scenario entirely. Plus it helps you keep track of them for purposes of someone else coming in for a heal. It’s not the “best” perk or a meta perk, but it’s just a handy perk to fill out your slots if you tend to slug people periodically,.

Trail of torment. This perk alone has given me so many free hits. A solid runner-up would be fire up because I like the idea of gradually becoming stronger as the survivors complete their objectives. Rarely ever impactful but I enjoy it. Especially when paired with brutal strength lol.
