New Killer Perks Are Lackluster
So we got:
Budget Whispers
Budget Tinkerer
Budget Hex: Ruin

The Killer's perks are fine. Killers have been asking for a generic way to remove their terror radius for ages and now they have one. How on earth is a Tinkerer you control worse than one than the one that depends on Survivor's actions?
The scream perk works great with the mobile killers who can afford to leave people on the ground and potentially injure or down the people waiting for a save or trying to be immersed.
The only bad one is the gen blocker perk.

I dunno, the Terror Radius to the Obsession one seems like it could make for some fun. All those jokes about Survivors thinking other Survivors are the Killer would actually have some ground now. Though it feels like it would be more fun on the Survivor's side but we'll see.

The obsession related perk would only be good if it has a timer of at least 2 minutes. I doubt it'll have that much... Knowing BHVR and how they give bad, arbitrary numbers to perks... See Pop Goes The Weasel.
Scream perk might only be worthwhile on Huntress... It's basically a better Spies From the Shadows.

Scream perk also prevents flashlight saves. As a side note.

I completely agree with this, if the TR is only on them for say 12 seconds that's not good enough for any real use from the Killer. Pair it with Unnerving Presence well so what they'll be Self-Caring alone and the Killer won't reach a Gen in 12 seconds because it's not enough time for Tinkerer either. 25-30 seconds minimum would make this good because it will give the Killer ample time to sneak up on someone or to divide the Survivors.
I'm excited for the Gen perk myself, I hope it's like Deja Vu and happens every time a Gen is completed. If it's literally JUST at the start of the match it's a waste of a perk slot, oh yay 10 seconds who the ######### cares.

Pretty much all of the killer perks will be make or break depending on how long the timer is on them.
If they aren't long enough, they're going straight to the garbage heap of bad killer perks.

I just thought of an amazing idea. Once every gen is completed, the perk also blocks the closest 3 gens to the completed one for 20 seconds.

that would be great for survivor's, it would stop them from 3 gen strat-ing themselves

You want to do a gen rush boy? this is why you are sad? I think it's the best perk to slow the gen rush because this game is all about gen rush

That would be actually benefitial for survivors, imagine this on Azarov's resting place. No longer stupid teammates who do all genson the one side of the map.

The New killer is cool and her perks are eh. But I do like the new delivery. at least now we all get the reveal together and not just PTBers. at least the figure out good ways for that. But I HATE HATE the fact that they once again copped out and didn't give us a LICENSED Killer. They know the majority of us want licensed killers and yet they still put out 4 originals. They should be ashamed and I wouldn't doubt we never get another licensed killer again which is sad.

We've yet to see them in practical use in the PTB. They sound a bit eh at the moment but we don't know until we get to play with them in the PTB.

Infectious fright is actually a decent perk, Not one I'll be using over stronger perks but it would be great on other killers like nurse or large terror radius doc.
The Terror radius transfer one is a bit lackluster in my opinion. It's very situational, unless you know where another survivor is and they can't see you while also being able to hit the obsession It's not going to really be very useful, It's also very dependent on how long the terror radius is transferred, If not long then there's not point in leaving the chase to go find someone else.
The Generator one is a great perk for how the games are being played out now, Let's you put on a bit more pressure at the start of the game rather then get gen rushed right from the go ahead. It's also going to be dependent on how long the gens are blocked for.
Overall I'd say It's a good, not great but decent set of perks.

@DudeDelicious Actually, in the special live stream, they said that your (Killer) terror radius goes to zero. Any terror radius perks (Coulrophobia, Unnerving Presence, etc) also transfers to the hit obsession.
To op, I am generally excited for these new perks.
