What perks do you rely on as a crutch?
I mean perks that you run every single game on any or every killer, to the point where you feel cripped when playing without them.
Someone here recently mentioned to me that Shadowborn is not something they like to rely on as a crutch every game when playing Nurse because they want to remember how to win without it, and I realized that I rely on M&A with Michael, to the point where I can't remember what it was like to play without it.
I also run BBQ every game on every killer, and I'm starting to realize that, aside from the BP, it's not actually a good perk. I'll see maybe one aura, which will unfailingly be clear on the other side of the map (everyone else is running Distortion or hopped in a locker as soon as you picked the bastard up), and by the time I get there, there's nobody in the area and the person I just hooked is loose. It's not the absolute worst perk, but there are a dozen other things I'd honestly rather run if BP weren't a factor.
I also run Nurse's on most killers.
Far as survivor goes, I absolutely CAN'T play without Urban Evasion. I'm addicted. And I'm starting to rely on Self-Care and (to a lesser degree) Botany Knowledge almost as much.
What about you?

Gotta have my Dead Hard or else I feel like I'm walking on eggshells.
For killer, I wouldn't say I have a crutch perk but I loooove using Survellience because it punishes the sneaky sneks that hop right on the gen as soon as I leave.

As a Killer i must have Pop. Only on trapper i run Surge instead. Without Gen defence im highly struggling. Maybe someday im good enough for a fun build.
As for survivor i run botany aswell and bt the most time. My exhaustion perks change every once and a while.

Windows of opportunity on survivor for obvious reasons and Monitor on Deathslinger to allow for some hits that really shouldnt have happened

Probably adrenaline. Though I'm getting close to the end of my rope with solo queue and thinking of just slapping on Kindred and Windwos of Opportunity permanently.

Bond is my guilty pleasure. Its always nice to see how unproductive my teammates are.

BBQ/WGLF, otherwise I just feel like I'm not getting "paid enough" to deal with this game's grindy system.

non, I dont know if I could looky myself in the mirror if I wasnt able to play without certain aid.

Blood Warden >:D

Kindred for survivor, and sometimes Inner Strength.
Maybe Corrupt and/or Surge for killer. Some passive gen defence so I'm not constantly playing catch up for kicking gens. BBQ for the bloodpoints.

Windows of opportunity. I cannot tell you the amount of time I've been in a chase without it and died when there has been a pallet on the other side of me.
It is just so useful to know where to go, what's left, dead zones, identify the loops from certain windows.

Bond and Iron will
On every killer I run BBQ not really as crutch but for BP and also corrupt/pop is very common in my builds

I'm 46 webs past level 50 on a killer and have yet to come across Whispers. The grind is just too much anymore.

Iron Will. It complements well my playstyle and it's just too good. I'm honestly surprised it's not used more.

Spine chill, I now cannot live without it because since I started using it a couple years ago, I've started being less attentive during the game and not looking around me at all while on a generator. It's a bad habit I cant kick.

Save the best for last on demo, wraith, trapper, deathslinger, hag (sometimes), doctor, and trickster

BBQ for me, to the point where playing without it feels bad.

BBQ, I feel way too lost whenever I don't have it.

Dead hard.
I was very addicted to spin chill, not any more (Thank God)
Bamboozle on chainsaw killer.
STBL on Demo.
Infectious on Oni.

I always run DS on survivor, even though i pretty much never use it, because i just don't want to let others ruin my fun by tunneling me out. I just want to have this in the back just in case.
1 -
Perks i never take off:
Discordance on Ghostface, the amount of grabs i got with it is unreal.
Infectious fright on Oni, gives me at least 2 or 3 downs with the power.
Doctor and safe the best for last, thanks to his static blast i can always ignore the obsession to keep the stacks.

Survivor: Iron Will because it's always good and ignoring BT and DS probably the best survivor perk in the game.
Killer: Agitation because I mostly play Trapper, Hag and Twins and well..basement.

On killer it must be BBQ : just doesn't feel right not having the extra BP for the amount of frustration you can get playing this side.
On survivor i would say Iron Will. Because let's face it, it's the last counter to a really good at tracking killer. Basically i think it's the most powerful perk in the game.

BBQ so that I dont lose my mind because of the insane bp farm other then that I dunno whispers or pop I guess

For Survivor, probably Spine chill. I really do not enjoy playing against stealth Killers and Spine chill is a godsend against them. Especially since most players don't bother to try and sidestep or moonwalk to avoid it.
For Killer: I don't really crutch on anything. Although, I suppose it's very difficult to play Killers I'm unfamiliar with without ruindying so I guess that's kind of a crutch.

Monstrous shrine.
I know, i know.... I'm so sweaty!

Survivor side i hate removing bt and ds. I know the most efficient strats for killer so i like to be prepared 😂
Killer side i always have bbq, thrilling or discordance. Bbq for the bps, thrilling and discordance for try hard mode, sometimes both.

For Survivor, Sprint Burst because I feel like I can't last long enough in a chase without it.
For Killer, BBQ because of the extra BP.

BBQ and WGLF are a necessity, obviously, but the one perk which is a must for me happens to be Brutal Strength. It feels so slow without it.

Well that stinks your only seeing one aura I play at rank 1 most of the month once I get back there from rank 5 each time and I see aura's almost every time. Only thing I can say about your experience is it's a good thing. yes no aura's but they are going out of there way (stop repair) to hop in a locker, get within 40m, hide behind a gen, or go back and forth, all to counter that one perk slot.
To the question - My pig I play M&A always but don't have the feeling of needing it with my style though. Just like having it for situations.
All killers - BBQ/WGLF for sure. Really starting to love the enduring/brutal combo though.

Devour Hope because HOLY ######### THAT PERK IS SO AMAZING WHEN IT WORKS both for my fun and killing the survivors

I'm gonna say NOED even though it literally only ever comes into play 1/20 games and thats only to 1 shot the last survivor or something. It just feels reassuring that ill probably have redemption if something bad happens.

As killer, BBQ and Ruin. I'm fine subbing BBQ's tracking effect for other perks like Discordance or Surveillance, but bloodpoints, man. I hate playing without Ruin and can't make myself like Pop as a more reliable substitute. Playing without STBFL also feels bad, but I'm a little less addicted to it.
As survivor, We'll Make It. Being able to out-heal a killer coming back to a hook is fantastic and this perk never leaves my builds.

Rely on it..ehhh. But if I had to pick one, it'd be Adrenaline.

Pop goes the weasel.

Probably ruin, feels so weird to play without it.

Same for me.

Noed is a crutch, but I don't rely on it.

Balanced landing makes being in areas with drops downs a thousand times safe then without

Spine chill and resilence. Cant go without spine chill. I take it off and it's a stealth killer always. Resilence just so I have a higher chance of making it through a vault.
