What in your opinion is the most underrated/uderused really good perk that nobody uses

Surveillance and Thrilling Tremors especially for defensive or low mobility Killers, it gives you information on what you really need to check, which is gens being worked on.

If you are Myers, hook someone and see a Survivor in the other corner of the map with BBQ is pointless info, by the time you get there odds are he is long gone but once the game starts to progress if you defend the clusters and kick gens you will always know where to put pressure, lets say you have 5 gens left and are relatively close, you kicked 2 or 3, one starts to show yellow, now you KNOW someone is there and everything else barely matters its surgical pressure.

Love me some Autodidact especially with legion and Thana being everywhere in my games. As well as Dark Sense, for when I'm solo, nice to see the killer after a gen

Discordance. It’s in that perfect spot if stopping something everyone instinctually does, and is not very used, so no one expects it.

We'll Make It - it comes in so handy in 80%+ matches. (And if you have a good medkit - or heaven forbid Botany on top of that - on you it can really be a game changer.)

I've never really thought about Kinship... but I might try that out sometime. It sounds fun.

Vigil

I get it has to be paired with a perk, but when it is it's extremely convenient. It also benefits teammates, that are likely using an exhaustion perk, and overall just neat. I run it with For The People and Sprint Burst all the time; and I love being able to run away faster, faster; be able to be healed after using FTP faster; remove exhaustion of a survivor I was healing faster; etc.

Again, not great on it's own, but it does a lot if you have a build around it and it's not even something you need to work towards as it's passive.

Honorable Mention to For The People, but I feel like I've talked about it too much.

One that I think is underrated is Poised. I don't use it all the time, but being able to finish a gen and run away from it for 10 seconds without leaving scratch marks can often be really helpful. I can't count the times I have been able to finish off a gen even with a killer getting close and been able to run away leaving the killer confused. Most of the time they think I am hiding somewhere close by because they don't see scratch marks. They often spend 20 to 30 seconds trying to find me in the area of the gen and I've not only managed to get a long way away, but if it was the last gen it often buys me the time to open a door and get out before they realize what happened.

Spies From The Shadows - A solid tracking perk, even if it is reliant on map RNG.

I've also been using Renewal/Second Wind as part of a healing build and have gotten good value from it.

Honestly, even on my doc loadout, thanato is a stable, it's such a consistent slowdown if you can apply the proper pressure and you know where to hit

Especially when almost every other slowdown can be waited out/ countered, with thana, the counter for it takes an extra 16 seconds for each survivor, which buys you alot of time (considering COH isn't in play, lol)

Not a problem for low mobility Killers for you end up playing around a cluster of 4 or 5 gens, one of the biggest mistakes as one of those is trying to cover the entire map, you select your killing ground, try to get rid of all the pallets and defend it like a 85 year old with a shotgun defends his lawn, Surveillance helps you keep the lawn on check.

Kicking gens is not as useless as a lot of people make it out to be.

I don't see enough Kindred tbh. Its such a powerful perk. Even if you are in a group of friends its handy. You can see exactly what gens your buds are on, who is the closest to the hooked survivor, maybe some needs a heal before the rescue.

Also helpful when someone is hooked end game and I can see which gate is being opened (or not). Instead of wasting time going for a save someone else is doing I can get the gate open.

Overall a really handy perk.

Vigil and Hex: Thrill

Vigil with Sprint Burst can give you a speed buff every 30 seconds you do gens or walk around the map, it actually helps with efficiency since you won't have a problem doing gens anywhere even if you're in a deadzone since you have free get away every 30 seconds and you are guaranteed not to go down near the gen you're doing.

Hex: Thrill comes in clutch when protecting hex and preventing boons, it prevents survivor from destroying hexes for an extended amount of time and it gives you enough momentum to run around pressuring gens while you comeback and down anyone trying to do your totems.

Survivor: Lucky Break. A perk whose value depends solely on the skill of the person using it. Can make for some sneaky escapes from chases after taking a hit and combos well with other perks like that either activate from or put you in an injured state. Can't count the number of times this has saved my bacon. If you are lucky enough to manage your health states well enough, then you can have it available for the whole match.

Killer: Dark Devotion. This is just a really fun perk that gets overlooked and I'm kinda glad it does because it gives it a shock factor since no one expects it. Like lucky break, it is also able to constantly be up all match if you're fortunate enough. You can also get some pretty creative uses out of it for stealth plays on non-stealth killers, as well as immensely extended map pressure for a short time.

Honorable Mention: Infectious Fright. I just think it's a neat little perk.

Bloodhound. I've found so many injured survivors that have iron will because of it.

Bond. I play mostly solo Q when I play survivor and Bond is by far one of the best perks to have that I never see anyone else using. It baffles me because I see so many players complaining about teammates not knowing what anyone is doing when if just one person brings Bond...Boom! Suddenly, everyone can see exactly what everyone is or isn't doing and coordinate appropriately.

I honestly think Bond is better to have than DS, BT, and DH.

We'll Make It. I know this perk was more popular back in the day and that CoH killed it, but I still believe it's much better in a lot of situations. You can heal someone right off hook and run through and heal your entire team. It's especially good since the Legion play rate is so high nowadays.

Although it absolutely frustrates me when I try to heal someone after I unhook them and they decide to run to the other side of the map where the boon and killer are. Like, you can see I have We'll Make It, why are you running?? :(

I've really been enjoying Leader in the last couple of months. It's come in clutch many times in scenarios for quicker healing, get exit gates open pronto when we're injured and the killer is coming, faster unhooks in front of face camping killers etc.

It's a very nice little perk.

I love Thrilling Tremors. Surveillaince is great if I combine it with something tied to putting gens in regression like Ruin or Jolt or Oppression, but Surveillance by itself with no regression related perks isn’t quite as good since you usually don’t want to spend a lot of time kicking gens with base kit regression speed.

Someone mentioned Bloodhound and I totally agree on that like I just said in the post above.

I’m also a Deerstalker fan because I’m a fan of slugging for additional pressure and it’s an extremely handy perk when you do a lot of slugging. Basically, if you are always just immediately hooking after every down, you are probably not putting as much pressure on survivors as you could be since carrying someone to a hook takes 10 seconds or so on average which is time you could have spent getting into a new chase with someone else. Ideally you probably should mainly be hooking players when at least one of them is already currently downed or hooked because that forces them into a position where of the two people who aren’t dying or being chased at least one of them has to go for a rescue instead of doing gens, leaving at most one person to advance gen progress. And Deerstalker plays really well with this tactic because it makes it trivial to go back and hook someone later when you have the opportunity, as well as making it easy to keep an eye on the area a dying survivor is located to spot incoming rescuers.

I’ll never say Deerstalker is a top tier perk obviously, but it’s just such a great quality of life perk for slugging that it’s one of my favorite fillers.
