Reasons To Run Bond

1. And this is the main reason. 
YOU GET TO WATCH AS THE OTHER SURIVORS GET SLAPPED IN THE CRAZIEST WAYS BY KILLERS AND IT IS HILARIOUS!!!

2. You can see who to team up with on a gen.
3. Sometimes you know where the killer is Bc you see the survivor running for their life.
4. You can no longer be sandbagged
5. You can now sandbag (if you wish)

    Yeah I run bond, I essentially use it for reason number 2 because I'm a gen tryhard

    As Feng it’s your birth right to be a gen try hard.

    I play survivor solo so bond is just overall a useful solo perk. It is also great to watch chases happen through a wall while you mindlessly hold the repair button down.

    Yeah it’s pretty good. It’s like repair a gen and enjoy the show😅 I personally am a sneaker so it’s pretty clutch for a stealth build. Yo I solo survive too! My friend!

    Strengthens the potential of you and your team's Aura reading abilities. Increases Aura reading ranges by 4/6/8 metres.

    I use Open handed along with Bond and the range helps awareness alot. I run it on my Ace, not to mention open handed helps everyones readings and it amplifies my Bond so its a cool combo i feel

    I run Bond, but watching other survivors can be a cringe fest.

    I love Bond. Very useful perk for seeking out other survivors working on gens, or if they are injured and need healing. If I am being chased, I see survivors working on a gen in the distance then I run the other way so they won't be interrupted.

    Bond, Open Handed, Spine Chill and Urban Evasion. A nice perk combo.

    This is truth. I also love to watch them get hit and fall down. Either they fall flat on their face like a failed attempt at 'the worm' or they do this gnarly backflip that would probably break a real person's neck. It's hilarious.

    Lets adress the real reason people use Bond, to lure the Killer towards other survivors in the hope they will chase them instead.

    Same reasons here. I don’t like to accidentally sandbag people so it helps a lot when in a chase.

    Yes when you’re running it and you get to see the backflip thing. It’s like “ohhhh they slapped the ######### out of you mate. That looked like it hurt”

    Everytime you see a Dwight or Claudette I suspect it. Especially since they keep running around trying to get you killed instead. I’m like you’re running bond and trying to get me killed, you little shithead. Ugh Dwight there will be payback!

    Only uses, 1) Seeing cheaters or incompetence. 2) being a cheater or incompetent. 3) wanting brownie points for not using self care.

    How do you get brownie points? It’s not like killers/survivors know everything you’re running until the end screen. So??i don’t see how option 3 makes any real sense or reason. I most definetly run bond just when I feel like team Gening and to watch the show. Idk I play casually. Also still new sooo. Are you feeling alright? I noticed you’ve been kinda crabby lately. Not your usual chipper self.

    Sane reason I got super bitchy about PS4 DC’s. I pallet stunned a clown, he DC’d and I lost about 7 hours of progress. Normally it’s just that game. MUH PROGRESS

    Yeah I play ps4 too I know your pain. I swear most killers on ps4 if they feel like they aren’t beating the survivors pull the plug and it’s super ######### annoying, and it’s really starting to get out of hand. The rage quitting is serious. Idk why they don’t have their own servers where this can be avoided(not losing progress that is). They could also easily keep track of people dcing all the time and ban them. As a survivor it’s hard to have a great game without the killers rage quitting.

    Yup. And unlike PC and Xbox, it seems like killers on PS4 DC at the drop of a hat. It’s not “you’re a toxic ass” but only a “you finished all gens and I don’t have a kill” will be an almost gurenteed DC. It’s probably rampant due to how powerful it is, giving it wide attraction to any toxic or spiteful players.

    I never get bothered by losing, or toxicity. But if you tamper with my save data, you’re disgusting and cross the line. That’s how I feel about it.

    Right? Nobody is even being toxic. Like no toolboxes, no flashlights. They just couldn’t kill anyone so they unplug. It’s like as a survivor you can stick through games even if you’re getting camped, or tunneled. Suck it up and be a good sport”because you got caught” but heaven forbid the survivors actually do well without being bastards. The killer dcs because they couldn’t get the upper hand on you that game. It’s pathetic. People dc for anything and I think it’s killing the game more than the unbalance everyone speaks of. Idk I’m not a rank 1 so I can’t talk about rank 1 problems. I don’t think that the ranks are the issue but the dcing in general. Bc it can mess up your ranks. Like hello I would of double pipped that game you unplugging #########.

    DC is getting way to common all around.  I play on PC, so it's not as painful, but I see at least one surv dc in about 4 out of 5 matches now, on both killer and surv.  It screws the killer out of pojnts, possinly even causing a depip, and hurts the other survivors even more.  The devs really need to make the penalties harsher and lower the threshhold for DCs before consequences to 1 or 2 a day.  I would just stop playing survivor if I were on PS4.

    It maddens me to no end. Even worse, it was a premium costume clown. He spent an extra $15 on this game for clown and the costume, and he can’t even play it without rage quitting.

    Nope. Meg mains are always tryhards on gens. I have never met a meg who doesn't do a gen for the whole game they even hide from the killer so they can do gens once the killer doesn't see them.

    Maybe idk I just started playing usually I see megs running around mindlessly and hiding in lockers, getting people off hooks. Keep in mind I’m a noob so low ranks megs may be different idk. I’ve yet to see past rank sixteen. I’ve only had the game a couple of months. I usually find Fengs on generators. Rare I see a meg on one. Fengs are always on the generator you’d never suspect all by rheirself. The megs run up and fail skill checks just to run off.

    Everytime I’m in a game it is the Feng or Nea that is gen rushing. Claudette and Laurie are the pallet looping teabaggers and Meg does the saves (although sometimes in front of the killer).
