What are two perks you seriously cant Live without as Survivor?
I have to honestly say “Windows of Opportunity” and “Kindred” I like knowing where I can run to for potential safety and Kindred definitely. I hate attempting for a save when another survivor is half way across the map and when Im almost there someone unhooks them. Plus helps teammates know When no one is coming.

Windows of Opportunity (if I play solo or as 2Man with a friend).
There is no 2nd perk like this. Maybe Prove Thyself, but thats because of the extra BP only.
3 -
Inner Strength and Windows of Opportunity are my 2 favorites. I could swap out WoO for Kindred but I've learned to live without it.
3 -
I guess Sprint Burst? It's my go to exhaustion perk. I'm also getting used to DH but I feel my latency doesn't help with using it at its maximum.
The rest I try to change up between survivors so I can try different combos and see which ones I like and maybe not get overly dependent on one.
3 -
Bond is definitely one. I don't think I have a second one I can't do without. None of them are in the same category as Bond for me.
I like to run perks that help my team. I usually run Bond, We'll make it, BT, and Prove.

Off the Record.
Seriously. I get tunneled out of the game at 5 gens without it.
7 -
Nowadays i'd say SB is the only one for me. COH or PT could be a 2nd but its a toss up.
2 -
Overcome and WoO
Overcome gives me a chance to reach a loop that might actually be worth using
WoO keeps me out of deadzones
1 -
Kindred and Lithe. Whilst my other two perk choices often change, I've consistently kept these two on my survivor build since I started playing. Kindred is a remarkably powerful perk (the best survivor perk in the game, in my opinion).

Love OTR but just wish it didn't go away after some sort of action you do.
0 -
Windows of opportunity and sb/dh any exhaustion perk. I use prove thyself usually always too to get bp.
2 -
Open handed and bond. I don't enter solo queue without em.
2 -
Self-Care and Botany Knowledge
1 -
Bond & WOO for the most part.
2 -
I used to only really need Iron Will. I'm lost without out it now, no other perk really offers what I'm really looking for.
I guess I can't live without Guardian right now. Too many tunnelbots out there
1 -
With the addition of saving 3 builds on each survivor I try and shake it up. There is no perk I can't live without now that they nerfed Iron Will into the ground, but I'll say most used on my builds are Distortion (to counter all the killers with lethal and DR) and Lightweight be doing work.
2 -
Self care, I play like I'm injured in chase all the time because looping with only one health state stresses me out
1 -
BT and Sprint Burst.
I have made some nearly impossible saves with those two perks.
1 -
Head On. If I dont need another build for archives Im using Head On QnQ
1 -
Lightweight + Lithe. It's helped me book it to get away from Killer's so much.
2 -
Came in here ready to post the same 2. The amount of metadata they can give is almost as good as having comms.
2 -
Kindred.
It´s, I think, the best perk in the game.
It gives you:
-Critical information about the rest of the team every time someone is hooked,
-Nobody leaves you to die in a hook,
-It´s the best perk against a camping killer,
-It gives you immediate information about the direction the killer takes after hooking (therefore revealing if he probably has BBQ),
-It shows you if the killer is putting a trap and where
etc.
it´s just too good 🤷

Windows of Opportunity. I just don't know where tiles are otherwise, as I have the awareness of a newborn dog.
I'm very fond of We'll Make It as well.
2 -
Windows and windows lol. I run this on basically every build, i haven't been playing long enough to learn the tiles and this is a huge help, lets me run much longer chases.
1 -
Prove for BP and DS cos I get value out of it almost every match.
1 -
Windows is a great perk, I have used it for years and was surprised more people didn't seem to see the value in being able to tell if a loop still has a pallet or not.
In the past my must have perks were Iron Will and BT but IW is next to useless and BT feels like it has less value now that BT is base kit. I really miss Iron Will though, there were so many cheeky plays you could try with old IW and I still miss that perk :(
1 -
Vigil-I know it's only 12 seconds off exhaustion perks but I've made myself so used to that timing that running exhaustion perks without it feels terrible.
Boon CoH-I hate not having a way to heal and like being able to create a healing station for everyone, feels like it gives me an objective besides just gens.
0 -
Windows if I'm coming back from a break.
0 -
In Solo Q i (need to) use Windows and Kindred in all of my builds.
I also enjoyed Inner Healing for a very long time, but Boons and now the Pentimento Meta pretty much destroyed it. :(
1 -
I’m not surprised Windows of Opportunity was mentioned so many times, but I am surprised Dead Hard wasn’t mentioned considering it and Windows are currently the two most used survivor perks on Nightlight.
1 -
Exhaustion, an anti tunnel and a healing perk with one free slot for memes at least on my 2 main survivors I play
For exhaustion the big 4 of dh, overcome,sprint burst and lithe are all fun to use to me. Anti tunnel choice is either off the record or DS which depends on the exhaustion choice(seriously, DH and DS have stupidly better synergy.)
As for healing there's really 3 choices depending if I wanna bring a medkit or not. CoH and inner healing are both great regardless of items while if I bring a medkit built to last is underated as hell tripling a medkits heal potential and not making me waste time bone hunting

Funi rock. I liek to toss it. It is great help. Works every time.
Unbreakable recently. It made me escape a few times during the endgame.
1 -
Kindred and Bond
2 -
Off the record if I’m playing solo or reassurance if I’m playing with a friend/friends (mostly because I can’t let the ‘do you feel reassured?’ drive by joke go)
the second is windows of opportunity all the way

smol rok and perma injured
i must throw a rock at the killers face at the end of each chase to show whos the boss.
perma injured cause i gota show these solo q noobs how a real gamer plays.

Dead Hard: Because Nurse exists. If you don't have this perk against a decent nurse you're getting downed in 2 blinks unless it's Léry's institute or something.
Off the Record: Because Nurse exists.

Off the Record for early-mid game and Adrenaline for late game
