    With my builds you should use a medkit because they're both very powerful with it. Use the scissor addon and a bandage addon. Both are yellow addons but very strong.

    It's kinda meta but my build is Iron Will, Bond, Balanced Landing, then either Self Care (if I'm solo) or Hope/Adren (if I'm SWF). I like Hope more than Adren because it counters NOED's speed boost and with BL let's you infinite the killer at some spots (well infinite for 2 minutes until Hope runs out). It also completely destroys slow killers. Adren is arguably more powerful but only if you are the one being chased at the end of the game. If you aren't being chased when the gates power I feel like it's almost a waste of a perk slot as much as if you never got to end game in the first place.

    PIRATE BUILD YARR

    There's nothing more fun then starting the game with a random cool item that will influence on how this match is played out. (You can switch Urban Evasion for Up De Ante, but that'll make hatch escapes to keep items harder)

    WHEN YOU GET HERE I'LL BE GONE BUILD

    Look around you! The moment you get a notification, run the other direction. If there isn't much vision and they kick the Gen, you'll already be gone! Keeps the killer wasting time. Works great in hatch games and against stealth. (You can switch Urban Evasion for Iron Will)

    11 SECOND HEAL BISH BUILD

    YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO HEAL YOUR TEAMMATES with your med-kit. Just yourself. You'll heal up in about 11 seconds, meaning that you save about 20+ seconds for every time you get hit! That's almost already more seconds you would be faster with a toolbox and you'll still have charges left. Don't forget that literally 2 of your perks increase item efficiency! (Could change Ace In The Hole for Plunderers Instinct or Streetwise)

    Put 2 addons on that medkit after the game and it becomes 8 seconds or something its op

    How many meta perks is a non meta build allowed to include?

    The "I like this build"... build:
    Autodidact, Bond (maybe Aftercare i will see after it comes out), Urban Evasion, Deliverance.

    Running Lithe, Lightweight, Dance With Me, and Spine chill on my Min for now.

    Kinda surprised how often I ditch a killer.
    Also kinda surprised how often a jungle gym doesn't have a window. Pallets are usually busted.

    I don’t mind some meta perks just trying to stay away from ds, adrenaline and such. Self care should be fine as its almost mandatory when playing solo but also don’t mind bond. As for exhaustion perks I don’t mind as I usually run bl/deadhard but am open to using lithe, I just dislike sb though I know some people don’t use exhaustion perks at all

    @Poweas

    When I said 11 seconds I kinda referenced the med-kits timer alone and how it has so many charges that you can keep it so long.

    With botany knowledge I think, without add-ons you're already looking at a 8 seconds heal.

    With add-ons it only gets better (:

    Build with 1 of the new perks.

    Yup ur right I got my maths messed up a bit. With the bandage and scissors it's 6.3 seconds or something. I am so surprised not a lot of people have realised how OP medkits are right now.

    He asked for a NON META build, buddy, and you include SC, BT and We'll make it?

    I read "Non Meta Build" similar to how a youtuber like Monto would view it; a build that you play because it has a fun theme behind it, rather for the pure sake of it being strong.

    This build is strong, but that's not why you're playing it.

    If a build has 2 of the hardcore meta perks, it should not include any runner ups, if you ask me.

    Hard meta = SC/SB(BL/DH/Lithe)/DS
    Runner ups = Adr, Bond, BT, Emp, IW, NM, UE, We#ll make it, WGLF

    Just MHO

    @Poweas

    Selfheals should be devided by 2 as well to measure it's net-strength against basic healing.

    If it would be a teammate heal then hypothetically it would last for a mere 3.15 seconds!

    NO MITHER FIGHT CLUB

    -No Mither
    -Resilience
    -Borrowed Time
    -Kindred

    Play to DIE. Rush gens, saves, Hex totems, and heals. Literally don't ever walk unless you are doing it to avoid the killer. Take hits/hooks for other players. If it's a Pig, you are no allow to take off the trap just gen rush until you die. If it's a Myers do your best to sponge that tier 3/tombstone if someone else is getting chased. If the gates are open and the killer doesn't have a kill you must offer yourself as a sacrifice to them. Bringing items or game altering offerings is forbidden. You are only allowed to escape if at least 1 other player is dead. And if anyone needs a save YOU MUST SAVE even if it means you die instead.
