Give Me Your Best Gimmick Perk Builds

With the amount of perks in DBD, there is a lot of room to experiment. So a lot of people make these builds that revolve around a single gimmick. Sometimes they work, sometimes they dont, but they are fun to toy around with nonetheless.

Example below of such:

(PH Gen Grab/Hit Build, Tinkerer to sneak up on Survivor, Merciless Storm to force them to stay on the Generator, and PHs power lets you go for distance hits in case the Generator is close to being done, other stealth and information perks go well.)

I am asking people to provide me their best gimmick builds (Survivor or Killer, whichever you prefer), rather it be "how does this even work, it shouldnt be working" builds or "this build will only work if the stars and moons align" builds, because I am bored.

    I usually answer with my Observer Wraith build... but are you looking for builds that work or just funny builds???

    I've never really been one to run the meta, lately I've been having fun with:


    Kindred, Empathic Connection, Botany Knowledge, and Better Than New

    The legion : Smiley face pin, BFFs

    Rancor, Remember Me, No Way Out, NOED

    Smiley face pin inflicts blindess on the obsession meaning they won't see your aura.

    BFFs and NOED makes you move at 123% when the gens are done and No Way Out and Remember Me makes end game last as long as possible and ofc Rancor allows you to get a sweet mori.

    I also like to run this build on The Dredge but i instead use Boat Key and Field Recorder add-ons. It's more effective that way but it's fun to use BFFs as legion.

    I like my "no chase" build lol. It's an instant heal + lose chase with the killer. It only works some of the time but I really like using it:

    Perks: Inner strength, overcome, lucky break, quick and quiet

    Item/add-ons: Green medkit, gel dressings, surgical suture

    Requires you to cleanse totems and be within distance of a locker but it's very fun lol. Plus, the lucky break timer can recharge and you don't use too much of the 60 sec timer when you have the medkit and inner strength. So self-heals are very speedy.

    Well Ok....

    Wraith: With any addons

    Discordance, TOTH, Fire Up, Whispers

    And not unclocking but faking it... and just observing what the Survivors do
