    Lightborn

    Insidious

    Deadlock

    Corrupt Intervention

    The strat: hide in a corner in shame and hope the survivors will give you some pity kills in the end. Works more reliably than trying to use your power.

    Otz breaks down his build he used for his 50 winstreak, it's standard but pretty good. He also explains the build and how Unknown is particularly good with Nowhere to Hide, because the aura reading continues if you teleport after kicking.

    Idk I think the most important thing on uknown way more than any build (perks and addons) is to never miss if you can or you will play as harmless. I ran mostly pain res,pop,nowhere to hide and unforseen (still wont help you if you miss and dont get those downs for regression but thats more the flaw of this killer than the builds fault).

    it almost sounds facetious, but yup; just never miss.

    I personally swear by Monitor and Abuse, or at least I did. I admit I haven't played unknown since Monitor got changed. my favourite perks on him are Unforeseen+Nowhere to Hide but Unforeseen doesn't stop the constant pre running as consistently.

    Well he is desinged to make no mistakes with missing two time in the row because than its just time waste and if you played as m1 you would get atleast some pallets down instead of just time waste.

    Monitor should be for 32 meters terror radius killers same as before only the increased tr when you chase survivor is smaller but the decrease when you are out of chase should be same all they did was its bigger decrease in tr for 40 meters tr killers like billy,ghoul,wesker but they dont need to waste perk slot for this due to their mobility (wesker has not good mobility but still not woth run just perk that makes his tr normal instead perk that gives him oblivious and remves his tr compleatly). Only killers with 24 tr and less got nerfed with monitor and doctor to for his big shock being smaller now when he is in chase.

    Monitor for unknow is good because it gives him more chance fore sneak shot but its unknown so dont miss, nowhere to hide I love with unforseen because its messing with survivor if he doesnt has los on you yo its m1 or uvx surprise or nurses isnt bad but now in current meta where healing under hook is very common this perk isnt that vialble.
