What's your most fun survivor build

I don't play much survivor so i was wondering what are some fun builds to play with. I have every perk on my Meg and want to try something interesting and fun to shake up my gameplay as survivor for once.

    I Tried this a while back its pretty fun but against a killer that's good it rarely works. I might try it and use the new scratch mark perk when the dlc drops, it seems like it could help with tricking the killer.

    Quick & Quiet, Head On, Dance with Me, and DS (just in case you get tunneled after being unhooked).

    Self Heal, Steak Out, Dark Sense and Small Game.

    Because I still need the powerful perks to unlock, I can't has fun :(

  • Head on, Quick and Quiet, Dance with me, and the upcoming Inner Strength. The meme has never been stronger.

    If you want to complain about survivors perks make your own post about it. Btw the title of the OP says "fun" not "sweaty" something your probably do when you play killer.

    Quick & Quie, balance landing, iron will and ds just in case of tunneling

    There are different types of fun.

    • We'll Make it, Aftercare (or Empathy), Deliverance, Self Care

    I like this build when I want to be the saver/healer. It's fun healing fast, and since I'm going to be saving/healing I add Aftercare to help see where everyone is which also tends to help you see where the killer is and then Deliverance since I generally unhook before getting hooked. You can sub in BT but I prefer perks that you will get a lot of use from regardless of how the game plays out. I find that BT only comes into play in like 10-20% of games.

    • Self Care, Urban Evasion, Sprint Burst, Small Game

    This is my 'Get sh*t done' build even if your team is full of idiots. Also a great anti-hag build. It's a strong utility build that lets you handle most everything that annoys you thus it helps the game be more fun/less annoying. People sh*t on Small Game but when 80% of games have Ruin and 50% of games my teammates can't find it or do gens while it's up, I want to find that quick. It also helps vs Trapper, Hag and Freddy and even if none of that is in play it helps you find 1000 points here and there. Sprint Burst is IMO the best exhaustion perk for the meta right now with Freddy's teleport, GFs surprise attacks, and soon the Demos lunge. UE and SC help you stay alive while your team self destructs.

    • Q&Q, Head on, (Iron Will, Self Care)

    To me this is probably the most 'fun' build in that there's no combo out there like Q&Q/HO which actually lets you get quite a lot of fun stuns on the killer. I tried it with Dance w/Me but think that's overkill. The key combo is getting in there fast w/Q&Q and then timing your HO right. Takes some practice and you'll still die a lot. Like 10-15% of the time it should trigger but doesn't. Sometimes latency or just the coding. The other 2 perks can be whatever you want really but IW is strong vs Spirit and does help the 'quiet game'.

    I've been having a lot of fun running We'll Make It, Botany Knowledge, Self-Care, and Plunderer's Instinct - I've found it a bit weird, but I'm also hovering consistently at Rank 2 with this, oftentimes pipping enough to hit Rank 1 and stay there for a bit. I guess I undervalued healing people previously. shrug

    It's also been nice because I'd been running low on items, given that I'm a killer main usually.

    Bond, Kindred, Detective's Hunch, Open Handed. Works best with a Rainbow Map + Crystal Bead and Jelly.

    See everything and lend some of your omniscience to your team.

    Quick and Quiet + Head On + Ds + Soon to be Inner Strength.

    This build is so fun and surprisingly useful! Loop the killer shack for a bit, fast vault in a locker, watch as the killer struggles to compute ######### just happened and once he gets close hit him with Head On. XD

    You can also hide in a locker, Ds stun the killer once he pulls you out, go back inside the locker and stun them when they recover. Use a firecracker after the Head On stun for that extra f u.

    I got 2.

    • No Mither + any Injured-only Perks, which usually end up being Iron Will (to deny headphone-users the little grunts i'd otherwise still make), Resilience (duh), and either Dead Hard or This Is Not Happening. (Dead Hard is probably better, but i don't like being chased (especially with No Mither) and i just love gigantic Great success zones.)

    The reason i like this is because it's a challenge. (To me. 😋)

    • Kindred, Open-Handed + whatever, usually one is Spine Chill.

    I love bombarding the other Survivors with information.

    I'm hooked? BOOM! Here's all other Survivors within unlimited range and the Killer within 24 meters.

    Tenacity, Unbreakable, Boil Over, Flipflop.


    Make 'em work for their hooks. And if they don't you crawl away and hide.

    .... You... Do realize I was joking? The 'fun' is me using impractical perks for having fun, not me being sweaty af. And I'm using my pain of not being able to freely choose whatever perks I want on any survivor (due to me trying to get meta perks before getting "fun" perks.) for the sake of comedy.

    My favorite is my "Santa" build. I bring in aces get free addons from chest searches perk, the chest locator perk, empathy or bond and a throwaway , usually self care.

    I jump in a match, loot a chest, give the item away to a teammate if theyll take it and do it again. Its really fun and more relaxing then sweating over everything. Plus theres almost always a red item , occasionally two per match so why not.

    ive been using autodidact empathy and solidarity with another perks (MoM and buckle up but both kinda suck) and have dedicated myself to do healing only and gens when nobodys injured, i gotta say im liking autodidact tbh even if the rng just doesnt help sometimes, wish theyd buff it already

    It's kinda hard to tell wether someone is joking or not due to the amount of people that actually complain about such things and it really does grind my gears seeing it on the forums so often.

    Though I am sorry for my mistake.

  • Dr_Loomis

    Stake Out. Small Game. Diversion. Windows Of Opportunity.

    A jolly healer build! I run it regularly, actually. Being a healer is actually a lot more fun than you’d expect, plus it rewards you for doing so.


    Empathy

    Buckle Up

    Autodidact

    We’ll Make It / Solidarity / Second Wind


    If you’ve ever wanted to use Autodidact effectively, then this is the build for you!

    Hey man, is fine. I honestly should not have been surprised, since yeah, people do complain about alot of things.... Including dumb things. So you were mad, but it was a misunderstanding, I pointed it out, you said sorry, end of story. I'll use this moment to be more clear if I'm joking or not in future posts. Just to avoid things like this with other people.


    Now to be serious, (if I could), I would run... Well, a houdini build. Quick and Quiet, Dance with me, and Lithe.

    Either that or a heavy immersed build.
