Noob Here, Have some questions
Hey so I'm still fairly new to this game, according to my switch I have just over 70ish hours
I have a few clarification questions / items I'd like any and all input on.
Okay - So the first item is decoding some of the leet speak on the forum so I can read the thread better:
What do the following terms mean?:
BPS -
M1 - i assume this means meta or top teir
SWF - Survive with friends i think
EGC -
OoO -
NOED - I do beleive this one means "No One Escapes Death"
BT -
DS - I also beleive this one is "Desisve Strike"
Also I play both sides Killer and Survivor and have some questions about each side.
For Survivors:
What are some of the "meta" or "Top Teir" Perks or just generally good ones.
As far as I'm aware I know EITHER Sprint Burst or Dead Hard are good optinos, along with Kindred is nice. I see a lot of people using Self Care but it just seems like the heal takes FOREVER
For Killers:
What are some of the "Meta or "Top Teir" Perks or just generally good ones:
As far as I'm aware: Hex: Ruin, And Undying are solid
Also I know Nurse is probably the best Killer but extremely hard to learn, tips on her would be very helpful and finally whats an easy killer to learn to play that performs fairly well so I can hopefully become a more confident killer.
Thanks for the read, as I said any info is very helpful and sorry for the long post.

BPS - Lmao I actually forgot about the item. My bad. The other dude got it right - Bloody Party Streamers, the offering that gives 100% bonus bloodpoints in all categories for every person in the trial.
M1 - Mouse 1 killers. Basic attacks.
EGC - End Game Collapse. When the orange bar at the top of your match shows up and you have a certain amount of time to get out before you die.
OoO - Object of Obsession, perk.
BT - Borrowed Time, perk.
Survivor answer: There's quite a few different builds. DS/Dead Hard/BT/Adrenaline/Iron Will/Kindred (especially if solo queing)/Balanced Landing, etc. Sprint Burst is really good as well if you pair it with Fixated and can use it properly. However you really don't need to be using Dead Hard or Decisive Strike, they are crutch perks and you can bring other useful perks instead. But if you're learning, I guess they won't hurt to use, just don't rely on them for the entirety of your improving.
Avoid using Self Care/ Urban Evasion, I wish I learned this faster when I started out but a lot of people at low ranks will be seen using these 2 since they aren't comfortable yet. The best advice I can give is not to use them, if you want to improve in the least amount of time. They are not needed at all.

Ardetha has some nice videos on Nurse.
As for easy killers to learn. As much as the survivor community will hate me for it, Freddy. He is easy to pick up and probably A tier at red rank. Other solid choices are Billy and Oni since they have mobility and have a way to one shot survivors.

https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/197642/acronyms-terms-used-in-dbd#latest For the acronyms, you might find this thread helpful as we're trying to list as many as we can on there - because those of us who've played the game for a while, tend to shorten almost everything we can :)
Survivor Perks that are considered to be Top Tier, definitely Dead Hard, Borrowed Time, Unbreakable, Decisive Strike, Iron Will (this is honestly god tier imo), Sprint Burst to a degree (if you know how to control it). But you don't have to use these perks, there's loads of different perks that you can build around and that work with your own playstyle - for example, I run Head On with Quick & Quiet and have added Deception into that, basically for the memes but it also really does help in matches and I've got away from the killer using Deception rather a lot recently.
Killer Perks, a lot of variety here again depending on your own individual playstyle and what killer you choose. I am addicted to Enduring and Brutal Strength and run them on most of my Killers. On Trapper I also like to run Corrupt Intervention as it gives me that extra setting up time and it's also good on other killers as well, I also get a lot of value from Discordance and Tinkerer plus of course you have Ruin and my particular favourite, Devour Hope.
As you said Nurse is the strongest killer in the game, she's also pretty difficult to play (I'm useless with her) but I prefer playing M1 killers for some reason, I thoroughly enjoy playing Wraith and Legion (I love zooming around as them) and whilst they're not considered to the strongest killers - I do really well with them. So again, maybe not focus on what you think is the strongest but what you enjoy playing, it's not all about ranking up and reaching red ranks, it's about having fun with the game.
Welcome to DbD, I hope you enjoy it!

BPS- Can either mean "Bloodpoints" (less common, people usually will use just "bp") or "Bloody Party Streamers" (more common), an offering for survivors and killers that increases their bloodpoint gain by 100% post-trial. Basically, double bloodpoints.
M1- Mouse 1, the button used for most interactions in the game (lunging or grabbing as killer, and repairing/healing/sabotaging as survivor).
SWF- Survive With Friends, usually people mean SWF on comms, which is playing SWF whilst communicating with other people on your team.
EGC- Endgame collapse, a mechanic introduced that kills all remaining survivors when the timer elapses. It's 2 minutes long, although whenever a survivor is in the dying state or hooked it progresses at 50% the normal speed. It's triggered whenever the hatch is closed or the first exit gate is opened, and no generators can be repaired whilst the EGC is in session. Once started, there is no way to stop it.
OoO- Object of Obsession:
NOED- Hex: No One Escapes Death
BT- Borrowed Time:
DS- Decisive Strike:
As for the other questions:
Survivor meta
The current meta perk build is:
- Decisive Strike
- Dead Hard/Sprint Burst
- Iron Will
- Unbreakable
Other good choices are:
- Borrowed Time
- Lithe/Balanced Landing/Head On (don't run more than one Exhaustion perk though)
- Kindred
- Spine Chill
- Resilience
killer meta
The current meta perk build is:
- Hex: Undying
- Hex: Ruin
- Barbeque and Chili (BBQ)
- Killer dependant (as in, it depends on the killer you're playing).
However, RuinDying (the name for the Ruin Undying combo) is being nerfed soon, so there'll be 2 new meta builds depending on the killer:
- Hex: Undying
- Hex: Devour Hope
- BBQ
- Killer dependant
Or
- Pop Goes The Weasel (PGTW)
- BBQ
- Corrupt Intervention
- Killer dependant
Some other solid perks:
- Save The Best For Last (good on killers who use their primary attack more)
- I'm All Ears (good on killers like Nurse or Pyramid Head).
Good killers
The best tip I can give for Nurse is to just... play her. Just keep playing her over and over without add-ons and eventually you'll learn her. That's the only real advice for it.
Other strong killers include Spirit (which her "killer dependant" perk would be Stridor for definite, which makes the breathing of survivors 25% louder and injured sounds 50% louder). She doesn't take that much skill to use, though you'll want to at least have basic knowledge of how the game functions and survivors play, and she's incredibly strong. Also there's Freddy ("The Nightmare"), who's very very easy to play but one of the best killers in the game.
Personally though, I suggest learning a weaker killer first, such as Wraith or Legion. This will teach you transferrable skills that apply to all killers, such as "moonwalking" (walking backwards to hide the red light), countering loops ("looping" being the action of running around a structure several times to maximise distance), or good pathing.
Finally, playing survivor is one of the best tips I can give to getting better as killer. Once you know how a survivor will play, you can counter what they do very effectively.
That wraps it up; if you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask!!

I use SC and UE and have been doing well with them, I think it's more about using them correctly and understanding your play style. I think it's best to start off trying every perk/build you can and seeing which one you are most comfortable with :)!

barbecue and chili is basically a necessity if your going to perks for killer. A killer that’s decent is doctor. He’s has good tracking with his static blast and madness tier 3 which will make survivors scream, can deny loops and has 2 good teachables.

BPS - Bloody Party Streamers a 100% bonus bp offering for all players both sides can get these in their bloodweb
M1 - A killer who only has basic attacks and can't down / injure people with special abilities, aka nurse attacks after blink are m1, but blight rushes are not basic attacks
SWF - Survive with friends

OoO - Object of obsession
NOED - No One Escapes Death
BT - Borrowed time
DS - Decisive Strike
Top tier survivor perks
BT
DS
Unbreakable
Iron Will
Dead hard - or sprint burst (never both)
everything else is a little weaker or more niche perks
Top Tier killer perks
BBQ, points and information to help you know where to go next
Sloppy Butcher some healing slowdown that is great on m1 killers
Corrupt Intervention blocks far gens at the start of the game
Save the best for last, a strong late game perk that is a m1 killers best friend (not nurses though she doesn't benefit)
PGTW (pop or pop goes the weasel) Regresses the next kicked gen by a lot after hooking a survivor
Ruin Regresses gens automatically
Undying soon to be nerfed but moves another hex to a different dull totem when they are cleansed
Discordance, information when survivors work on a gen together
Whispers, information when you are near survivors
Nurses calling, information when you are near healing survivors
