I want to know other people's opinions on what underrated perks there are for survivor.


Im kind of bored of using the same perks that everyone else uses so I wanna switch it up and try something different.


Any specific perks that are underrated or any underrated perk build that could be tried out would be nice.

    Tenacity! Though I havenโ€™t used it at all since the DS nerf. Doesnโ€™t help every match but when it does, man oh man!

    Autodidact +solidarity can be wild if the killer has sloppy butcher

    Inner Strength underrated? I consider it the best perk in the game and my friends have it as well. Who says it's ok or bad?

    I say underrated because I don't see a lot of people use it. I could be wrong though.

    Love this combo also with After Care so I can track what everybody else is doing, see who's getting chased where, whether anyone is going for a rescue, etc. etc.

    Yeah...I don't see peoole run it actually, it's a perk that has less value the more who have it. Healing perks might be not used, because TEAMMATES.

    Kindred but in a swf. I always run kindred and I'm usually a 2 man however I joined an LFG (Xbox) and this girl mocked me cuz I said it's my crutch perk. I was then challenged to run only that perk, escaped with 28k.

    I love that perk

    These underrated perks I've found very useful, even now:

    Deja Vu - Stops 3 gens and forces the killer to travel further as the trial goes on to defend gens.

    Lightweight - I've noticed I've escaped a significant amount more times from a killer with this perk.

    Calm Spirit - In my killer games survivors often forget the crows, even at higher levels. They also forget how far away they can be seen. Using that knowledge, this perk has probably saved me many times without me even knowing.

    Pharmacy - I love first aid kits. You can never have enough first aid kits.

    Decisive Strike - This normally would be the meta, but since the nerf a lot have stopped using it and consider it not worth having. Also, many more people complain of tunnelling off the hook now. Doesn't take a genius to show how useful it still is.

    Aftercare - This is the solo perk to use above Kindred.

    Red Herring - Deception may be the better mind game perk when used right, but with Deja Vu you can send killers right across the map away from you.
