    It's great at letting you know if someone is close by. So if I am cloaked as Ghostface I can get a sneaky hit or I can predict where they might go and get in position to stalk them or ambush them. For example, if I see a crow fly off on a path towards a generator, I know that someone is probably going to start working on it and have a general idea of where is best to approach and stalk.

    Or if I get a notification behind a wall, I know someone is there but they don't know I'm there. Which is especially useful on indoor maps where you see a crow, hide near the door and whack them when they enter.

    And it's just a good tracking perk in general that doesn't require you to actually do anything and still get value. Also it's really funny watching people freak out at how you could have possibly found them but it was simply because a crow flew off behind me.

    It used to be Hope,I've been using it long before it's popularity skyrocket.

    These days Deja Vu so I can jump on the 3 gen asap.

    Dark Devotion, Love running it on Certain killers as it can make for a funny experience confusing survivors.

    On Survivor: Tenacity

    Nothing makes me smile more than the killer going to slug and I already managed to peace out, now watching them searching for me off in the distance. Very rarely works, but it always makes me laugh when it does xD

    On Killer: Surveillance

    Not really that underrated, there are perks that are better, I just like the smug feeling of "you took the bait!" 😈

    Usually WoO/Left Behind if I'm running that build. I'll change my builds depending on how matchmaking feels when I'm playing. If it feels good, I'll throw on Adrenaline/Overcome/DS/OTR with a medkit+syringe.

    Ok 😀 Left Behind does not surprise me and thought perhaps Resilience and a medkit with extra charges addon could be nice here also. But I like the thinking behind this. Overcome is a perk I also use a lot now when DH is half dead.

    For survivor, I'd say it's probably Botany Knowledge. It astounds me that people think its change in 6.1.0 was even overall a nerf at all, let alone a nerf that killed the perk- it's exceptionally good at shaving off time in general, it synergises well enough with Self Care that it makes that perk usable (albeit at risk of sloppy butcher and related effects), and it can even be used in medkit builds if you're a little careful about it.

    Prior to its recent buff I'd also have said Deja Vu. It's good now, but it was good before too!

    For killer... harder to say, I think most of the perks I use are considered pretty good. Maybe Eruption? I've seen a lot of people act like that isn't worth running, so I'd say that's probably underrated on those grounds. Is Brutal Strength underrated? Maybe that.
