    I really like We'll Make It, Premonition, Tenacity, Alert, and Open Handed. There are a few more but you get the point: I enjoy quite a few off meta perks. Is anyone else like-minded?

      Bond + Open handed, for sure.

      I'm also partial to Pharmacy over self care, just because if I play correctly I get one fast self heal and a free medkit for next time!

      Stake Out is a great Survivor perk. Does a great job of countering Ruin.

      Open Handed, Plunderer's Instinct, Pharmacy and Bond :)

      Tenacity. There was a time where my sis managed to escape after being downed close to the gate with Tenacity right in front of the killer while I stalled for her.

      Also, We'll Make It & Bond and great.

      Lightweight and Small Game are really nice for that 4th perk slot. Small Game can nullify totems and Trapper/Hag almost entirely. LW let's you just kind run around as much as you want.

      Pretty sure Iron Will is considered meta, but if I could pick any 1 perk to use it'd probably be that.

      I have a crush on Up the Ante. :D

      Quick&Quiet is nice, especially when you're trying to save someone from the basement and the Killer gets back. Jump into the locker and be save. (Doesn't work all the time tbh.)

      Balanced Landing and Small game. Ofc.

      Empathy is my crutch perk <3

      Recently I've really loved using Vigil.

      Alert, Tenacity, Object of Obsession, Bond, Wake-Up, Vigil, Pharmacy,

    • Member Posts: 40

      Urban evasion (always equipped, I feel naked without it), tenacity and we'll make it.

      Tenacity is a really good situational perk, which more people should try out. Has saved my life many times.

      Ordinary I run Sprint Burst| Borrowed Time | Botany Knowledge| Decisive Strike
      but sometimes i swap BK/DS for

      Stake Out
      is really fun cus it counters hex ruin when ppl cant find it.
      And it makes not being chased a whole new experience! I love sitting somewhere in a corner in the killer's terror radius waiting for my staks to go up. Feels really rewarding to be a coward, and grants me great skill checks for no effort haha

      Ace In the Hole
      Because getting a purple medkit/toolbox/ flashlight with a rare add on never feels bad.

      Botany Knowledge
      Its actually in my main loadout. Just saves a lot of time in general and helped me in many situations so far. I consider it a life saver, really.

      Boil Over
      Its the new Kate Teachable that makes the killer not see the hooks light up in read (10m range) when he picks me up and makes him stumble around 75% more than usually when i am trying to wiggle out. It looks absolutely hilarious for the killers and is really fun in Kill your Friends. It also makes the killer run into flashlights a lot so far so it might be better than expected. I love it when they are running into other survivors or objects because i wiggle so much, really fun perk :D

      I'm gonna love the new Dance With Me perk. I already run Lithe and QnQ so I'm gonna be so sneaky!

      Stakeout. Really enjoy using that perk, especially since its buff :D

    • Member Posts: 369

      Bond, one of the most powerful survivor perks, it has so much use!

      I love the fun of Pharmacy as well :3

      I crutch on LIghtweight so hard, it honestly makes sprinting around the map a lot less dangerous and breaking chases a lot easier.

      I'm also a sucker for pharmacy and the free medkits, not to mention the super fast & quiet chest searches (could go well with plunderers and ace in the hole if I ever used those... hmm)

      Aaand lets not forget my number 1 go-to Jake loadout with that spicy.... Object of Obsession. I never see anyone beyond low rank people who don't know what they are doing running it but tbh I love this perk. It screams bait, and even if you are not baiting its the best scouting/warning perk. Just glance his way and bam, you know where he is. As long as, you know, you are careful that he doesnt now know where you are....

      Also, No Mither. Pairs great with Resilience and This isnt Happening for a dumb gen jockey loadout (or just makes you bait if you run dead-hard)

      And I used to love Premonition. Idk why I don't use it now but I still prefer it over spine chill. Has a punishing cooldown, buuut.... well, helps me avoid walking into the killer, unlike spine chill, which just makes me realize I'm in trouble but not which direction to not go to.

      Not sure if We'll Make It is meta but I use that a lot too....

    • Member Posts: 105

      We'll Make It should be meta but isn't used enough...I always have it equipped.

      Open Handed with Kindred is really cool, I run Bond pretty much all the time as well because once you use it and see what it offers it is so good!

      I love no mither, not joking. I'm a Mither main
    • Member Posts: 106
      I love unbreakable but you have to get lucky to use it. Self care is handy because you don’t have to find someone or a med kit to heal, also can wake yourself up from Freddy (also only if you’re lucky) . also Urban Invasion. i don’t think i have to explain that one lol.

      Dont know the actual meta perks but I really like Steak Out. When a killer is chasing a survivor and you are repairing near them its one great skill check after another. Bonus Experience and quicker repairs what more do you want.

      Lightweight. Gotta go fast.

      My absolute favourites:
      Tenacity - It's fun to crawl away and heal at the same time. shimmy like a worm
      Technician - my favourite when a killer tries breaking a gen but I pop it without him realizing I was right there LOL
      Lightweight - Bc i run around the map like a headless chicken and it helps
      Dead Hard (? Is this meta ?) - ZOOOOOM
      Resilience Omg the vault speed gets me HYPED.
      Iron Will - It's just really useful, always, i'm not moaning anymore
      and a pesky no mither build with tenacity. Bodyblocks ftw :P

      @Brady Dead Hard is very meta btw

      Really? I guess. Dead Hard is more fair than Sprint Burst if you ask me, considering it's easily fooled into using + you need to be injured + button activtion timed right. I just assumed it wasn't meta because of how unpowerful it is compared to other perks :P I like DH more because it offers different way of playing.

      What would be the list of all meta perks? From a neutral stand-point view.

      I loove me some Kindred also.

      @Brady In terms of survivors, most people agree the following are meta in no particular order -
      1. Self Care
      2. Decisive Strike
      3. Dead Hard
      4. Sprint Burst
      These next perks may be considered the most meta, or most useless depending on who/what group you ask -
      5. We'll Make It
      6. Iron Will
      7. Lithe
      8. Vigil
      9. Urban Evasion
      10. Wake Up!(I ######### HATE THIS PERK)
      11. Quick and Quiet
      12. Borrowed Time
      13. Unbreakable
      Again, those last 9 perks are controversial as to wether they are meta or not. I personally do not think Vigil is meta as do not run into it nearly as much as I do Wake Up!, but for other Killers it is the other way around. Basically it just has to do with personal experience/luck.
      If you want a much more accurate representation of what is and isn't meta, just look at everyone's perks at the end of the match for the next whole lot of matches and see which ones repeat multiple times. Metas also change a little bit as you go through the ranks, but basically you just see only the top 4 and some other perk at rank 1, and all the other perks can be seen at the lower ranks more often.

      Bond. So many different uses for it.

      Bond should get buffed... currently it’s only effect is increasing my chance to vomit in disgust and other survivors incompetence by 99%

      Premonition is my guilty pleasure.

      I like that list. Though PC vs. Console meta varies if you ask me.

      When I played PC Dead Hard was definitely in the meta. Console it absolutely isn't.

      I would say the meta would be:
      1. Self-Care
      2. Sprint Burst
      3. Decisive Strike
      4. Borrowed Time
      5. Adrenaline

      The rest you listed with Dead Hard included meta varies and debatable.

      That's cool tho, I like most un-meta perks.

      Let's be honest. People who use Bond are the JUDGIEST people.

      Please be more sensitive. I'm not ready to come out of the closet yet.

      It's all fun and games until a Trappy Boi pulls you out of the closet and hooks you up for a nice, long face camp.

      Here is a build with non meta perks i highly enjoy: Bond + Kindred + Open-Handed + Spine Chill

      Otherwise its the classic luck loadout:
      Ace in the Hole + Up the Ante + Plunderers Instinct + Slippery Meat
      ,cause kobeing of a hook with a purple item you just found feels great.

      Good Ol’ Spine Chill
    • Member Posts: 7

      Empathy or bond and lightweight. I also like going in without an exhaustion perk. I wouldn't run DS if you paid me.

    • Member Posts: 16

      My favorite builds to run lately:

      Open Handed/Bond/Kindred
      No Mither/Resilience/This Is Not Happening/Dead Hard
      We're Gonna Live Forever/We'll Make It/Borrowed Time

      For the ones where I've only listed three, I'll usually fill the build out with Urban Evasion, Lightweight, Premonition, or Sprint Burst
