Does anyone else NOT use killer addons?

They add variety to a game, so I can't say I have any issue with them when I face a killer or am a killer (unless overpowered).

However, as to whether I use them or not depends purely on whether they come up on the randomizer system I use.

I generally try to stick to green and below addons as my core usage so i can ensure that i always have the available. The purple and iri ones can sometimes be hard to get unless you pour a ton of bloodpoints into the character.

There are a few exceptions where the killer is just terrible without those addons, but generally that is what i try to do. I don't do it as a way to "handicap" myself or "be nice" its simply economics. If there is some challenge i need to do that an addon would help with then i'll use something different.

depends on the killer I play. Some of them barely have a difference in gameplay and some of them are extremely addon dependent.

I do not really like using addons/items overall, because i'm a hoarder.

I'm absolutely fine not using addons on Trapper, Wraith, Nurse, Huntress, Plague, Pyramid Head, Artist (PH and Artist only because their addons are all pretty dog, so no reason to use any)

But i'd feel handicapped if i were to go into a match as an addonless Billy, Myers, Bubba, Doctor, Freddy, Wesker, Knight

I don't play any other killers so i can't judge how addon dependent they are

Basekit wraith 👍

I use yellow and brown add ons, use green ones occasionally, purple and pinks I use only for specific builds

I mostly play with non because I like to stash. I like big numbers xD. When I do play with add ons they are mostly brown, max yellow. The only killer I can think of where I play green add ons is Myers so I can tier up faster.

I'm honestly the same when it comes to the Knights "Map of the Realm" and "Call to Arms" addons...the former should absolutely be basekit.

I know how you feel. I also don't run addons in a vast majority of my games. For some reason there is a small part of me that fears they might run out eventually. Although, that really isn't going to happen on my main killer. I have the brown addons more 2000 times. Even if I wanted, I could never use them all.

I sometimes use addons when I commit for a meme build or when I play Freddy. Freddy is awful either way but I prefer running dream pallets over snares.

I main Trapper and feel I could do well without addons. But I often bring Trapper bag and Tension Spring, both purple addons.

I dont feel they hinder me or make me rely on them. I like the drawback of trapper bag being not picking up my traps when set. Makes every set trap meaningful and I better know my trap knowledge lol. If anything, I feel some addons require the player to learn the killer before they can effectively use some addons.

I basically never use items/addons/offerings. I main blight and I think I used 5 alch rings in total

As a surv, I am a cheap, I hoard everything and never use them

For example, I got 200+ party streamers (it's not an addon but you know what I mean) I'll never use, because each time I've brought one (as asked by a random), I either get facecamped at 5 gens, or 2+ surv dc'd...............

same goes for toolbox or medikit (I only bring them when I do a challenge)

But I feel it's mandatory to bring addons on killers, like on GF (Philly or Matchbooks) whom I sort of main or with knight and the ones previously mentionned, I hoard every addon on every killer but I refrain from using better than green ones addons

I only use the weak ones or none at all.

I never use exposed or sweaty addons with any killer, I don't enjoy going against ridiculously sweaty killer builds so I don't subject others to them either

I didn't use add ons for 5+ years in this game, other than as a special treat. I've very much got RPG hoarder brain and it prevented me from using them, especially since the old system stole them from you three times if you prestiged. Plus, since they're limited, I didn't want to come to rely on them because going back to a base power could be a problem for some add-on reliant killers.

Interestingly enough, the prestige system rework is what changed my mind. My previous bp philosophy was to get a character to level 40 to get their perks unlocked, and get the ones I liked to P3 and get all perks unlocked. After that, I was content to never spend a bloodpoint on them again.

Not losing items on prestige, prestiges being forced, and unlocks tied to prestige changed that a bit. Now when a new killer comes out I've got hundreds of their add ons by the time their perks are on other killers. I felt like there was a point to spending anniversary bloodpoints on killers that had all the perks for cakes, and got a nice buffer of add ons that way. My current plan is to finish P3ing the survivors, and then focus on getting such a big buffer of my preferred add ons on my preffered killers that I never need to play without them again.

Still refuse to use add ons on Blight though. Basekit is fun and balanced. Add ons...less so.

I rather use weak or no addons, idk if it's because of challange, one of the killers was necessary because on Nurse I didn't want to be reliant on range addons,

idk why I don't really want to use expensive addons, I guess one of the reasons is I don't have a lot of them, which I don't even know how when I never use them

Yes i can hug tech, but I don’t really have a lot of time atm so probably can’t show it to you in a custom game. But he’s definitely s tier even without the hug tech

I reset every once in a while. I'll run nothing for a week and then only yellow speed for another week. Then a combination of c21, yellow speed, vigos and a little green speed. No habit in dbd has been harder to break than green speed for me.
