Not sure how to progress and keep the game fun.

So i'm fairly new to the game, pretty average (Rank 7) and have a pretty bad habit of using the same perks over and over (BT/DS/IW/DH) ...

Been sitting on 1mill BP for a while, Prestiged Jake (main) and got pretty much most of the best perks for other characters, how do i keep this game fun and keep the BP grind going?

I don't play killer, after a few tries it's just too much stress... survivor is much easier and fun for me as a casual.

Any tips?

    Like everyone else I agree that you need to be playing killer more. I am a killer main and play a lot of survivor too. By playing both sides I'm able to keep myself playing because it adds something to the game.

    I'd say just to get some killers you like more then others up to date and get good teachables form other just in case there's a change that would make the role enjoyable for you.

    Your BP capped so you literally have nothing to lose by future proofing your killer role prospects.

    Like everyone here says, play both sides, don't stay in one, I consider myself a killer main but I do play survivor a lot too, it's more fun to play both sides and try dumb stuff.

    Currently on survivor I use pebble, head on, qnq and red herring.

    For killer I've been using non meta builds for x killer, like huntress I've been using less tracking perks and more meh perks, iron maiden, shadowborn, mad grit (a lot and it's fun but really dumb) etc.

    If you always do the same stuff you will get burnt fast.

    Use wierd and whacky perk builds. You never know what might come in handy. My go-to at the moment is either (Bond or Kindred)/Self Care/Botany Knowledge/Desperate Measures or Visionary/Open Handed/Bond/(Kindred or OoO).

    Thanks for the replies. I will try using killer again.

    Who do you guys recommend leveling up? I have Auric Cells so don't mind spending for a locked killer...Just someone fairly easy to learn.

    Well, what killers do you have? Someone fairly easy to learn... Probably Legion, but he's not the best. Myers is fairly easy to learn in my opinion, but he's still pretty fun. For someone more powerful, well.. There's always Good Ol' Freddy. Freddy is very powerful, and also incredibly easy to learn, because why not.

    Try the killers you own first and see if you like any of them. That might give you a better idea what playstyle you want out of the killer and which DLC killer(s) you might want to unlock.

    Which killer did you try previously, and what was it that was so stressful? You would want to pick a killer with a power that can make up for what stressed you out.

    I tried Trapper and Oni, i just couldn't get used to how slow and frustrating everything was and just stopped. It's not that i couldn't kill a survivor this was rank 20 after all, but i wasn't really enjoying it.

    I know you said it is too stressful, but playing both sides gets you more value out of the game and is awesome

    if you dont really like killer, you could try running meme builds when playing survivor or do stupid challenges in game

    but like everyone else is saying, limiting yourself to only playing survivor will definitely make the game stale since it’s only half the game
