2v8 is hunt the babies ignore the stronger players
Because of the queues, BHVR made the (correct) decision to make the matchmaking almost non-existent for the 2v8 game mode test. Unfortunately, this has lead to the Killers basically having 20 second "test chases" and if a Survivor doesn't immediately go down they just avoid them and find someone easier because there will…

Stuck in the wall bug on Haddonfield
I had an unfortunate game on Haddonfield where I became stuck in a wall on the top floor of the main building. The other Survivors couldn't interact with me and the Killer could damage me but couldn't pick me up. I couldn't move and was locked in place. I eventually bled out. Platform-PC Steps-Healing a downed Survivor on…

Bite the Bullet is no longer working with Med-Kits
I've been running Bite the Bullet with Strength in Shadows to help lower my chances of being caught in the basement. Unfortunately, Bite the Bullet hasn't been activating when I self-heal with a medkit with this build. I'm unsure why that's the case. Its not a sound effect glitch either, the Killer can hear me healing with…

Tunneling is overblown
I will start this by saying this. My experience is not the same as everyone else’s and I do play at higher MMR. I do play Killer and Survivor and will approach this from both perspectives. From Killer perspective, tunneling is only optimal if you find the “weak link” early on in the match. Trying to tunnel an above average…

Noise Cancellation
New Perk Idea-Noise Cancellation You are inflicted with the Oblivious Status Effect for the duration of the match. The Killer cannot inflict Status Effects upon you and will always be revealed by your Aura perks regardless of Undetectable. When you block everything out, you can really tune in.
-
Spine Chill Rework
An unnatural tingle warns you of impending doom. Whenever the Killer is Undetectable or you are afflicted with the Oblivious Status Effect, you will retain the ability to hear the Killer's Terror Radius. Whenever the Killer is within 16 metres of your location, your action speed in Repairing, Healing, Sabotaging,…

Quick Gambit is decent now
Quick Gambit is a perk I always thought would be undertuned but I was wrong it got a last minute buff when it hit live. The generator repair speed to people working in generators within 36 meters could be genuinely useful especially on smaller maps. But the thing that really makes sure it will be decent is the extra aura…
-
Boon Illumination was obviously nerfed
I always thought the secondary effect of Boon Illumination "Increases your Action speeds for Blessing and Cleansing by 6/8/10 % while you have a lit Boon Totem" was strange until I realized why it was like that. Boon Illumination was nerfed prior to PTB and used to reveal totem spawns like Detective's Hunch, which is why…
-
Don't Heal Survivors Using Plot Twist
Plot Twist is a perk I use on a regular basis mainly as a way to heal back to full health. Its very time efficient with the speed boost after especially if the Killer is running sloppy butcher so normal self healing is slowed anyway. Combined with a med-kit and the second charge of Plot Twist at endgame, its usually enough…
-
Ultimate Weapon makes Aura Perks Unplayable
Ultimate Weapon is an amazing tracking perk for Killers, however, most Killers probably don't even think much about the blindness it inflicts as well. Most Aura perks have some benefit in chase such as using Bond/Empathy to avoid sandbagging teammates or Troubleshooter/Alert to see what the Killer does after throwing a…

Is undying supposed to stay after the main hex is cleansed?
I didn't remember the perk working like this. Hex:Ruin is cleansed but Hex:Undying is still lit up.

The COH nerf means boons can now be map wide
Dark Theory, nuked COH and Exponential would barely be strong enough to justify the perk slot if they were map wide. Only Shadow Step might need a nerf but that’s an easy one. Just make it so it only hides auras while injured and only hides scratches while healthy instead of hiding both all the time. Pretty sure there are…
-
Whats the point of deleting perks?
There’s a difference between nerfing a perk and deleting it. People use Circle of Healing for self healing. It doesn’t do that anymore so everyone will immediately drop it. People use Pain Resonance for consistent slowdown all match. Now that it can only be used four times people will immediately drop it. People use Dead…

The Haddonfield 3 gen
The main building on Haddonfield usually has two generators. It's also very common for a generator to be in the dead zone nearby the house. When I lose this map as Survivor, its almost always because of this three gen. The generator, totem and pallet distribution on Haddonfield is just a mess. Sometimes the houses are…
-
The Boon: Exponential Rework
With self pickup becoming base-kit and Unbreakable’s rework, I don’t see Exponential getting enough value to justify a perk slot anymore. Here’s my idea to rework exponential to make it something worth bringing into games. Boon Exponential - Whenever a Survivor heals a full health state within the range of the totem, all…
-
The Mori Update seems like Endgame Collapse
To me at least, it seems like the Mori Update is tailored to making 3v1 and 2v1 games end quicker. The Killer can't stall out the game forever or slug for the 4k. It basically just forces the Killer to end it if they have a big advantage. Its a big nerf to slugging, but it seems like the goal is similar to the endgame…
-
There are a lot of unused Killers this patch
Wesker, Nurse, Blight, Huntress, Legion and maybe Bubba are the only Killers I see on a regular basis. Everyone else feels kind of rare. I might see some of the other 23 Killers but they feel like one-offs and I'll rarely see them again in the same play session.
-
The abundance of RE characters made me realize something
The high amount of RE characters in the game via legendary cosmetics has made me realize that licensed content is starting to overtake some of the original content created by behavior for this game. It's not as if the original Survivors don't have additional characters mentioned in their lore; some of the original…
-
Rookie Spirit is woefully underpowered
The perk is meant to help Survivors counter gen regression perks and we're in a gen kicking meta. It's still not worth a slot. Also, it has an activation requirement too, which means it doesn't even have 100% uptime.
-
Don't cleanse all the totems.
It's frustrating when the entire team is injured with no way to heal because some stupid Jill counterforced the entire map. Save a few of the totems and please for gods sake don't cleanse the totem that was used for the boon if the killer snuffs it. The Killer won't even need to use No ED it if the entire team is injured…

Killers that don't need to be 115
Wesker, Artist, Blight and Pyramid Head. All these Killers rely on their power more than an M1 anyway. All you'd have to do is remove any movement speed penalty while charging/setting up their power so they don't lose momentum and they'd be very similar power levels in chase. I feel like if a Killer has a really strong…
-
Blast Mine was nerfed for Wiretap
Pre-nerf, Blast Mine had high uptime once it was charged (66% of your first gen) because it would get fully refunded if it wasn’t used. This made it a solid information perk to tell teammates which generator was being worked on. Post nerf, Blast Mine has much less uptime so its more important to save it for its stun effect…
-
All stuns/blinds activate Smash Hit
Fixed the perk. It goes from being one of the weakest exhaustion perks to being at the power level of all the other exhaustion perks. Still fits the theme of the perk. Makes it more useful. Combo Smash Hit with Decisive, Blast Mine, Flashbang or any Flashlight for some crazy results. No need to nerf the 4 second duration…
-
I don’t think solo queue is that bad
I am a very high MMR Survivor player that has been really appreciating the 20 second queues and constant 100% bloodpoint bonus. My teammates are usually competent and I have a 40-50% escape rate. It honestly feels like MMR only works for Survivor teammates and just gives me random average joes for Killer.
-
Always have a looping game plan
Whenever you’re working on a gen or going for a save, pay attention and identify the map tiles/loops nearby. Think about how long it will take to get where you want to be so you know how early/late you can leave. You should create a game plan in your head of which structures you want to use and how you might chain together…

How to make Dark Theory worthwhile
Right now Dark Theory's haste boost is too low impact to be tied to a boon. 2% haste within a 24m radius that can be snuffed just isn't worth the slot its too niche. I think the correct way to buff this perk is to keep the haste at 2% and increase the lingering effect when leaving the boon from 4 seconds to a lot more like…
-
Only three types of perk are viable
In high level matches, there are only three types of viable perks. Type 1 (red) - Generator perks. They speed up, slow down or give valuable information on generators. Type 2 (blue)- Chase Perks. For Survivors, its purely exhaustion perks or perks meant to combo with them. For Killers, its perks meant to limit options in…
-
Reassurance is the new Unbreakable
Reassurance doesn’t get value every game, but when it does its game changing similar to what an unbreakable can be. Forcing a hook state or an early kill can drastically change the outcome of a match and denying it is a massive uno reverse card. Similar to how snowballing with slugging can be game changing and denying that…
-
Don't cleanse Plaything
Plaything really isn't that strong of a Hex and its perfectly possible to play the entire match without cleansing it. The perk is almost always run with Pentimento, which is a much stronger Hex perk. If you don't have a boon, just don't bother.

Hyperfocus isn't worth the perk slot
I've been running Hyperfocus (with Stakeout usually) for the last few days and I've found it usually saves around 12-18 seconds per generator if you're uninterrupted for the entire duration of the generator. That being said, perks like Surge and Pain Resonance completely destroy this perk and prevent you from accumulating…

I don't think Open Handed works with Wire Tap
I tried running Open Handed with some Adas that were running Wire Tap and I didn't notice the extra effects at all. Wire Tap should be increasing the Aura reading range to 30 meters, but it definitely wasn't doing that

I haven't seen any matchmaking incentives yet
I was really excited for matchmaking incentives to come back, but so far I haven't seen any indication that they're working in-game aside from the patch notes.

We need an Aura perk meta to buff Solo Queue
Aura Perks are the way to buff solo queue without making SWFs crazy overtuned. Just add +16m to the range of every Aura perk in the game (making current Open Handed basekit). And rework Open Handed so that it shares Aura reading with any Survivors within 32 meters. Making information perks hard meta will do nothing but…
-
Useful fact about Inner Focus
Inner Focus shows the Killer's aura whenever another Survivor loses a health state with 32 meters of you. This includes the death of a Survivor. So if a Survivor dies on hook and you're within 32 meters when the skull appears on the screen at the end of the death animation you get the aura reading.
-
Why can’t Survivors block windows for Killers?
If Survivors can entity block gens, why stop there? Might have to be an exhaustion perk or something but it could probably be a thing.
-
Hooked Survivors should cause mapwide slowdown
I think there should be a base game mechanic where each hook gives +5% slowdown that stacks until the end of the match. This would incentivize Killers prioritizing hooks and reward them for trying to hook as many people as possible. Less slugging and less camping because Killers are rewarded for their progress. If the…
-
Reassurance will Band-Aid fix the game
Having a way for teammates to extend the hook timer if a Survivor is being camped will essentially eliminate the camping play-style. Reassurance will essentially fill the role that BT used to fill prior to the mid-chapter update. A perk that can get big value if at least one to two Survivors bring and use it well to the…
-
Surviving while being tunneling wins games
I know, I know. It sucks that the Killer picked you to focus out of the match, but its a super common playstyle right now. If you're playing Survivor, just expect tunneling to happen. That doesn't mean hook suicide or DC. It means waste the Killers time as much as physically possible so your teammates have a better chance…

What time does Rank Reset usually happen?

The Dead Hard and Decisive changes made tunneling hard meta
First of all, I notice that tunneling is easiest most when I play Nurse and Legion this patch. I hit a Survivor as soon as they're unhooked so they get deep wounded to take Dead Hard off the table and its pretty easy to chase the down. Decisive Strike is the basically the same amount of time as Blink/Frenzy fatigue even if…

This patch corrects the MMR patch for Killers
Before MMR, Survivors had less expectation to survive and getting 4k’d was relatively common. After MMR, kill rates went way down and Killers had a meltdown until they finally adapted their expectations. This patch is boosting kill rates again. And Survivors are having a meltdown because they’re not used to dying this…

Does the update have an official release date?

Dead Hard was a crutch
Generally, I don’t use Dead Hard. But if its a rough night of Nurses and Blights, I end up putting it on. Dead Hard was too strong and it really did lack counterplay. It was easy to use with very few drawbacks and even the strongest Killers would get in scenarios where baiting it out was impossible. We’ve all seen the end…

On Upcoming Inner Focus Buff
Does anyone know if the 32m range requirement for Haddie's perk Inner Focus being removed only for the scratch marks or for the aura reading as well? If it's just the scratch marks, the perk is basically the same. If it's also the aura reading, the perk will be slightly better than Feng's perk Alert.
-
Glad Endurance got balanced
Endurance Stacking was going to be a real issue, so I for one am glad the Devs realized this ahead of time. Off the Record and Dead Hard was gonna be hard meta and lead to a lot of frustrating games. Also, the subtle buff to Legion and Deathslinger with the deep wound mechanic is cool. Both of those Killers are average at…
-
I absolutely hate Clown and Myers
Both Killers are way too strong with their pink addons. And everyone runs the crazy addons. They're weak Killers at base kit, but that's why no one ever runs them base kit.
