I see a trend every time a new survivor and killer are released, I am trying to get my survivor's adept and the new killer is running all the old perks. Dosen't even have one of the new killer's perks. Why?

    because they don't care about the achievement or already had gotten it. The new perks aren't really great so don't be surprised that Dracula is running Pop or Pain res.

    The perks are bad plain and simple, plus ever since they updated how perks work you can slap on meta perks right away without having to grind in the bloodweb

    I tried getting my dracula adept yesterday.. Multiple games, couldnt do it. His perks are so bad against this meta.

    One game i slugged ( which i hate doing ) and the 4th person hid the whole time and still..got the hatch.. I absolutely HATE trying killer adepts.

    He was definitely running pop with 3 aura reading perks.

    I mean, Dracula's perks are all trash (Wretched Fate is the best of the three and it's still trash outside of a build dedicated to it).

    Trevor's perk requires to jump through too many hoops/are too risky for too little value to be worth using.

    It's been a while since we got good perks that are good on their own (and even then, powerful synergies tend to get deleted just like Weave is about to be). People going for adepts usually get it in 1-3 games (since Killer MMR is Killer-dependant contrary to Survivor MMR which is shared through all Survivors) and then basically never touch them again.

    Ironically the best moment to get Survivor adepts is by playing in the first 12h after a chapter release since not only will more people try to do adepts themselves (which isn't that different to playing against a perkless Killer most of the time) but most players are new and pretty bad at the new Killer which means overall chances of escape are higher (unless said Killer was designed to be able to get results even if a monkey was playing, like Skull Merchant, which means people will be almost just as good day 1 as day 60).

    I did Dracula's adept and it honestly felt like playing perkless. At no point did I feel my perks were really contributing to the game in any meaningful fashion. Even Wretched Fate was useless since they died at 5 gens and a gen needs to be finished for it to activate XD
