The Perk "Rapid Brutality" is a nerf (PTB)
Rapid Brutality: You no longer gain Bloodlust Successfully hitting a Survivor with a Basic Attack grants you a +5% haste Status Effect for 10 seconds.
I can't wrap my head around how dumb this perk is and how it's supposed to compete against the "equivalent" of Survivors perk.
Rapid Brutality (RB) activates after a successful hit and last for 10 seconds. The Killer takes 2.7 seconds to recover from a successful attack animation. As such, you will have 7.3 seconds of RB usage.
Consider the following instance of a chase with and without RB.
You hit the Survivor, let's take a look what's happening in the next 25 seconds for a 4.6m/s Killer
No RB: 4.6 x 15 + 4.8 x 7.3 [ + 2.7 seconds ignored for recovery ] = 104.04m covered.
RB: 4.83 x 7.3 + 4.6 * 15 [ + 2.7 seconds ignored for recovery ] = 104.259m covered.
You used a perk slot to effectively gain 0.2m in a 25sec chase after a hit.
What if you initiate a chase against against a health Survivor, where are you in 25 seconds as a 4.6m/s Killer?
No RB: 4.6 x 15 + 4.8 x 10 = 117m
RB: 4.6 x 25 = 115m
That's a 2m difference. This is the difference between hitting a Survivor at the window after a 25 seconds chase and having them fast vault to effectively extend the chase.
In a 25m initiated chase vs a hit and chase, you're effectively sacrificing about 90% of efficiency in favor of RB while gutting Bloodlust.
Just for reference, for 4.4m/s the lost in efficiency is about 92.5% but that's on paper. In practice, you're going to have significantly worse time to catch up with Survivor since your movement speed is so close together over such a long period of time.
If you throw in MFT in all those speculation, you might as well just stop playing 4.4m/s if you're thinking to use RB. I know there's speculation of how good it's going to be with STBFL but that's just copium over thinking that 1 extra second (at FULL stack of STBFL) running at +5% is going to significantly affect the game for you... no, you're just using 2 perks slot to effectively make up for the nerf you just inflicted on yourself.

I think it's only worth running with STBFL. Otherwise I wouldn't use it, maybe only test it on Haste Merchant with her haste add-on for maximum speedy.

rapid brutality is only good on Singularity, because this killer is one of the few who can instantly restart a chase and utilize movement speed difference increase to get a quicker second hit, while also not suffer from BL penalty as Singularity doesn't use bloodlust.

The Haste should start after the hit animation is finished, and it would be quite good on Killers that lose Bloodlust easily, like Clown, Doctor, etc

I imagine it could work on M1 killers that frequently use their power, like Spirit, Clown, Deathslinger, Dredge and Wraith. It's certainly not good on a lot of killers, and I'm not sure it'll always be worth the perk slot on the ones it is good on. It may also receive some tweaks before release.

People have been saying this ever since the PTB. It stupid that it removes bloodlust as even without that part the perk really is not that strong.

Well it could help some killers that lose easily chase, Sadako, Wraith, Doctor (to name a few) also it could help clown because he doesnt need that much bloodlust.

The Haste bonus should activate 3 seconds after hitting a survivor, like Dissolution. And I've also been saying the loss of Bloodlust is nowhere near worth the small value of this perk, I have no idea what BHVR was thinking.

Its actually not bad on Killers who use their power frequently enough to realistically ever get bloodlust anyway. Pinhead and Artist are good examples, if you get bloodlust with them you are doing something really wrong.

What a great solution. Let's just throw it in with the other 100 perks that never get used.

need balanced maps first for that to happen

that math looks wrong. otz tested that perk gives 3 stacks of stbfl. the reward of the perk is low. you get countered by MFT and you lose your opportunity to bloodlust which could hurt you. i am not sure if i would call it no mither for killers but it makes weak m1 killer hard mode in the current meta. luckily most killer just play wesker and blight and those killer do not need this perk to operate. it is already in their base-kit power.

Just as people bring Enduring+Spirit Fury, you too can bring STBFL+Rapid Brutality. I'd argue Spirit Fury is nearly as worthless as RB when both are taken alone outside of niche cases. I'd say it could also be useful on M1 Killers who don't build Bloodlust like Clown, but if it would be worth dropping another perk for is another story. There also is the case for it to be another choice in an Agitation/Mad Grit combo.

I imagine it'll work rather well with full STBFL stacks and full PWYF stacks. Of course, that's a lot of setup for what amounts to maybe one free down.
It's not a good perk in general, but it maybe has some niche uses.
