What is your favorite info perk when playing killer (lets put aside the bonus bloodpoint aspect of bbq to be a bit more fair)?

As far as i'm concerned, i really do love surveillance the most (it does work very well with ruin).

    Infectious Fright. It doesn't give auras, but it's still a perk that gives info on other survivors' position (either exact or approximate).

    And if we are talking only aura-reading - Hex: Retribution feels the best. Especially in combination with Undying and Haunted Ground.

    Lethal Pursuer, you wouldn't believe how fast you can get the ball rolling as Blight with a little bit of luck on the spawns.

    BBQ, rewards you for getting hooks and the bloodpoints too juicy.

    Second favorite probably Infectious Fright, really fun depending on the killer you're using.

    I like BBQ not just for the points, but also the information on the last remaining survivor.

    Lethal Purseur to get the ball rolling immediately.

    I'm All Ears or Retribution. Though, on select Killers, Infectious Fright is just such a fun perk to run.

    Surveillance

    This is actually a tough call. I voted for Surveillance because I like how it gives constant information about all the gens, particularly when combined with Ruin. But I also am a fan of Bloodhound and Stridor because they’re both particularly good at tracking down hiding or fleeing injured survivors to get the down. (Especially in the current healing meta, it’s nice having a way to efficiently track and down injured targets before they get a chance to heal.)

    I like Lethal pursuer. Seeing survivors instantly is nice

    For me it's probably Lethal Pursuer. Being able to get into a chase immediately is a huge help with the early game.

    I really like Whispers. It's nice to know if survivors are near or not.

    Bloodpoints, useful info, works well with a lot of killers


    Only downside is that it makes me hungry

    No other perk helps me find that last survivor looking for the hatch or waiting at the gates like this one. And it saves me a lot of time at the start of the game too! Huge time saver, I love it.

    Tinkerer is probably the best gen info Perk in the game

    Most used is BBQ, simply for stonks.

    But I really like Lethal Pursuer, I liked it when it was announced and I like to use it when playing Killer. It just gives me a good feeling when starting a game.

    I'm not sure if this counts but, I honestly really do like how Deadlock works. It feels like, if I'm playing a killer with low mobility or is 110% movement speed, I can actually get to the other side of the map where the gen is being blocked and protect it or use pop or whatever without feeling super pressured.

    If that doesn't count ass a "info" perk then, Lethal Pursuer is also just a very handy tool to get into a immediate chase.

    It's just the best for so many reasons. You can instantly tell at a glance where survivors are at a distance and choose your approach as you leave the hook.

    At the same time, the absence of survivors you can see can also tip you off if there's someone nearby.


    Thrilling Tremors and Surveillance have given me the edge often, and allowed me to apply pressure early in the match.

    BBQ, though, has saved my bacon more times than all the other perks combined - because while it's not quite as good a utility when Survivors are slamming gens, it remains functional at the end game or when the enemy team is in pieces. Finding the last survivor is a lot easier with BBQ than it is with Discordance, Tremors, or Surveillance. And you know that it will always be triggered when you're not in the middle of a chase to perfectly chain your actions together with information.


    In my opinion, it is a strong enough perk to avoid the BP bonus. They should probably give the BP bonus to something like Distressing which actively debuffs most killers. It's a strong perk without the BP incentive.
