We're gonna suicide forever vs BBQ

So.. can we compare these 2 for a minute?


BBQ: 25% BP for each unique hook, ability to see auras and snowball game.

WGLF: 25% BP for saving teammates & running at the killer for face smackies.. no ability.


I find it a little frustrating that though I prefer to play survivor, I have to spend most days playing killer just to farm bloodpoints. When I average 10-15k BP a game as survivor, and 40-50k a game as killer... we have issues here.

Killers love to make the argument "we have to keep buying addons!", well.. unless you're running a 4-man deathsquad, survivors die far more often than survive (yes, there are those of us who live in solo land, and it's not a happy place!). We lose our stuff too.. and chests do not make up for the massive disparity in blood point earning... and giving up an entire perk slot just to try and balance it is not worth either. I'm not a DBD pro.. I can't loop you for 5 gens.. I need 4 "real" perks.

My suggestion: Give WGLF an actual ability. Merge it with We'll Make It, or even something like Rancor where you can see the killer for a couple seconds after an unhook. Just.. something. Anything that doesn't read "give up a perk slot to gain more bp" would be nice.


Please :(

    Make WGLF even easier to stack by giving you a taken for fully healing another survivor as well, on top of getting a token for protection hits and safe unhooks.

    It honestly don't need to have "an ability". Remember, most people don't use BBQ for the aura reading and that aura reading is so easy to counter.

    I am fine with how it is now, but if you wish, for each time you get a token, all Survivor auras are revealed to each other for 5 seconds.

    I wouldn't say "most". I have seen streamers who say they wouldnt run it if not for the bp, who always look for the auras after a hook, and comment whenever no-one shows up. Remove the aura read and see how long it takes for the forums to explode :D


    BP aside, even when I'm doing killer rituals on killers i dont have BBQ on, I miss the aura. The fact that I can just go from hooking 1 survivor to immediately finding another is extremely helpful, and I find I rarely ever have to patrol generators.

    That said, I'm clearly not a killer main... but if i were, i would probably be running BBQ even if it didn't have the extra BP. Rank 1 killers might disagree, but Rank 1 killers are the stuff of nightmares and can do whatever they want. :3


    Edit: SORRY, I mean rank 5 killers. Rank 1 doesn't exist anymore. Kappa


    Edit 2: It also occured to me while playing killer today that another reason the meta has become so "gen rush-ey" lately is because of the healing nerf. Healing isnt worth it anymore, so people just rush for adrenaline. Adding We'll Make It to WGLF might actually give people a reason to heal again and all the red rank killers wouldnt cry about genrushing so much.

    I never used WGLF because it does not help me survive or help team mates - I Feel like I'm one perk down - which makes a potentially good perk useless.

    If I want to earn blood points, I play killer with BBQ & Chili. A lot of the time I earn hardly any BP playing survivor.
