Spies v Whispers

They're both greatly effective in finding survivors. Spies does rely on the survivor disturbing crows, but it does zero in where Whispers fails and crows are often disturbed.

I say it's preference and you won't go wrong with either.

    Spies is more beginner friendly but Whispers is way more reliable.

    I mostly agree, but survivors seem to almost never suspect Spies From The Shadows.

    Whispers. Unless you're Nurse on an indoor map.

    It depends on the killer actually imo.

    I main Doctor and Pig. So I tended to use Whispers. With Doctor it let me know when someone was is in my terror radius so I didn't waste Static Blast. With Pig it let me know that I need to crouch and go stealthy to get that surprise attack.

    If I play my other main killer: Huntress - I actually think Spies is a better choice as it let's me know where to look for possible snipes.

    With that being said: I do not run either perk any more as I find better utility from other perks.

    Currently i go with Spies. I have not used it since ages but Randomizer forced me to... and it was great.

    Nobody has Spies on its Radar thats why i think it is a good perk.

    I used whispers once and got way too freaked out by the "yesssss" and "noooooo" sounds. Legitimately never been so scared by the game before. Spies all the way now.
