We'll Make It should merge into We're Gonna Live Forever

Barbecue and chili is such a great perk, not only for farming but for general use as well on killer. This is specifically why people use it to both get more bloodpoints, leading to most people playing killer during events, and also know where survivors are.


I think We're Gonna Live Forever should definitely get some sort of buff or addition to it to not only increase bloodpoints but to have a secondary effect as well. I think getting 100% heal bonus (We'll Make It) would be a perfect addition to the perk and would encourage altruism and not just farming people off hooks.

Edit: Additionally, it would make David a great survivor to level to get this perk.

    The only buff WGLF needs is that you also get a token for healing a health state on another survivor, on top of already getting a token from protection hits and safe unhooks.

    That really doesn't give any benefit to the perk. Safe unhooks are already easy to get. I think it would be fair for both survivor and killer to get a decent farming perk. BBQ&Chili is great. WGLF sucks.

    BBQ is great not because of the aura reading, but because the majority of the matches you will end up with all your stacks. Consistency. Its what makes a perk desirable (mostly).

    However, WGLF, while true that getting unhooks is the best and most reliable way, keep in mind that you are fighting against two other Survivors to get an unhook. Add to that the fact that not all Survivors will be hooked thrice. Add to that the size of the map. Add to that all possible circumstances where you just cant go for an unhook. WGLF is not consistent. I couldnt care less about a secondary effect, but what I am certain about is giving WGLF more consistent ways to acquire tokens to make it more consistent; one of them being tokens from healing.

    @baesik I fail to see how making a farming perk easier to stack is not a benefit.

    You suggested that be the only buff to the perk. I'm disagreeing that your suggestion isn't what I like.

    BBQ is definitely great because of the aura reading. I'm absolutely positive killer mains will agree. Again, safe unhooks can be very simple with borrowed time and empathy.

    @baesik There are so many ways to counter BBQ, I would run almost any other tracking perk over it if not for the BP bonus. It's often I don't even see any auras after hooking someone.

    I run Borrowed Time and Empathy, and those help me get safe unhooks, but I'm still competing with two other survivors to get that unhook. I rarely run WGLF because it's frustrating trying to get stacks on it. If I ignore gens and stalk injured survivors who are being chased, it becomes easier but at the expense of gen progression, and even then I'm not guaranteed to beat the other survivors to the hook.

    (It'd be nice if protection hits were always counted properly. There have been too many times where I should have gotten a WGLF stack but didn't.)

    BBQ is so much better than WGLF because it's easier to consistently get the four stack. I just have to do my job and hook survivors; I don't have to compete with other killers to get those hooks.

    Getting the stacks consistently isn't an issue for me. I get my unhooks, I get my protection hits - sometimes I get the latter across the map from any other survivor, but whatever. What I don't always get is a reason to run a farming perk with no additional function. Every single other perk granting bonus BP has an additional effect, either giving information or allowing an aspect of that player's objectives to be easier. Perform altruism faster, increase repair speed, reveal auras, hide the red stain, increase terror radius, guard hex totems, and then nothing from WGLF.

    While I don't necessarily agree that "We'll Make It" should be merged, I do think some additional function should be given to WGLF.

    I think if they merged them and made healing someone a full health state give a stack it would be a pretty decent perk. Rn getting stacks is just too hard unless you rush the hook save, which is dumb. People throw games just to make sure they get their 4 stacks

    B&C isn't the best detection perk, you usually run it only for the bp and would be commonly used even without aura reading... but without bp gain it wouldn't be an amazing perk.
