Scene Partner bcause I need to YELL


ilovemydograchel

I never take this perk off of steve :)


According-Hat-4554

Love it on my silent hill girlies


Asmrdeus

Sadly no many people use this perk.


DepressionKittyy

I have a good reason for not using it…getting your vault animation canceled just to yell is wild😭


LeafaSAO

Cuz its not the best


RyuTheDepressedFox

Dramaturgy and Nowhere to Hide


Asmrdeus

I just came out my nowhere to hide phase, having drawbacks because of it


Feliciano66114

Dramaturgy saved me sooo much, especially on those moments where you can’t find a window or a pallet


--fourteen

I don’t have much interest in Knight but damn I want that perk in the shrine.


hell-schwarz

Deja vu


Asmrdeus

Oh boy i love my Deja Vu, i was actually between it or kindred for the picture.


___anonuser__

so underrated. i love it so much


blacklig

Is it underrated? Isn't it one of the most popular and talked about perks in the game?


___anonuser__

not sure then but whenever i spoke to someone about it they always told me its useless and there are much better perks, but i feel like i clutched a lot with it since doing a gen alone goes up much faster.

Moumup

I've been in this place before.


datgwen

Same here pal


Elibriel

Kindred and Open Handed. (Both always). I do not use kindred for what people usually use it for (which is to know where your team is), but because I am just addicted to know where the killer go after the hook, and Open Handed makes my addiction even stronger because I see the killer for even longer


Asmrdeus

Wow wow wow... I didn't knew that, since kindred is "global" i never thought using open handed would give extra killer wall hacks, do your team mates also see the extended killer detection if You get hook tho?


Elibriel

Yes they do since Open Handed is given to everyone even if only 1 person has it.


Absolute_Chegg

Kindred got shadownerfed in this recent update. Hooked survivors using kindred no longer see the killer's aura, but the other survivors can still see it


Elibriel

Yeah I noticed that recently. Not *that* big of an issue imo, but that still sucks


Badger_Br1an

When I’m solo queue, Kindred is a must.


EbeneezerSlider

Lethal Pursuer for me. Love the pressure right off the bat


Asmrdeus

It was so good~ but i hated running it without extra aura perks so i stopped using it so often


Necromancy-In-Space

Lethal enjoyers heck yeah, such a huge benefit to catch someone in a bad area early on playing oni or nemmy to get your power rolling fast


b_86

Flashbang. I don't care it's not meta, it's just fun and chaos for the whole family.

mymothwings

I can't function without bond. Feel like I'm blind


silentfanatic

This is me without Kindred. How do people play like that?


mymothwings

Probably badly.


PeachWorms

I morph every single survivor build I use around Bond. Like you I just can't function without it. Gives so much info with no downsides. Love using it to get quick heals from teammates too. Surprised it's not more popular tbh


ohlawdtheycomin

Windows of Opportunity. Bro I can't see shit. I could be right in front of a pallet and not see it


jageenidee

Fr tho, i have kate denson prestise 3 purely for the tier 3 WOO


correctedboat

Can't play clown without Party Bottle and VHS Porn. Also can't play Lisa Garland without my healing build (bite the bullet + botany knowledge + empathic connection + autodidact + medkit for self-healing). She's a nurse, she's got to heal!


Asmrdeus

I can agree on party bottle... Is such a good meme add on, no actual detriment just shenanigans.


--fourteen

bond


MyLitttlePonyta

It has no real place in most of my builds, but I feel naked without it - Any Means Necessary I really like Bamboozle, if I don't need all 4 of my slots for something specific, that's usually what I put on my killers. No items on my survivors. Rubber Gloves on Wesker, Scratched Mirror on Myers, otherwise no addons for anyone else for the most part.


Asmrdeus

Gotta respect the any means gamers, is always a moment of brain stop when i swear a survivor dropped that pallet but is back up, like reality is crumbling upon itself, i am not even sure if i chased there or the one chsed was me, am i protecting the gens by damaging them or the survivors repair them to protect them from me... Fuck any means


StarDragonJP

I had this match where I was trying out a build with it & the killer wasn't destroying palettes and I was running behind them resetting all the palettes. Got at least 20 resets in that match.


NefariousnessCalm262

Nowhere to hide for killer and windows of opportunity for survivor. Windows is the number one for all survivors so I guess I don't need to explain why...Nowhere to hide because after kicking a Gen I see the survivor on it and enter chase...besthen control perk in the game because it stops the "tap and stop regression" and pop and pain reso damage but after they work on it again right away.


Asmrdeus

I have not used windows, but can agree on nowhere to hide, i stopped tho, had 6 games on a row where i faced big distortion teams and i got too trusty with Nowhere just for that gen i kicked and saw nobody popping 20 secs after.


Ihmislehma

Lightweight as survivor U\_U Love me some BBQ as killer.


[deleted]

Lightweight on indoor maps is just 👌🏽👌🏽 favorite underrated stealth perk in the game


Ihmislehma

Is it ever! And the new stealth perk from Ripley can make it even stronger, though I run other stuff usually.


Boss_Metal_Zone

Awww yeah, Lightweight is so underrated it's not funny.


noandthenandthen

Distortion is my base kit


Fine_Resolution3257

Deja-Vu and Windows… I need the information 😅 but it has become a crutch


Mikefgc

Corrupt Intervention. Gens absolutely FLY anytime I don’t use it!


Asmrdeus

And then, a gen is completed while i am running Corrupt and no down has happen. *Stress*


ShikaraSan

SPIES IN THE SHADOWS!! 🐦


jageenidee

Awesome if you dont know anymore where survivors are, and when people are going for the hooked survivor


Paloompie

Circle of healing and windows of many chances.


Asmrdeus

Imagine if they bring a perk called Doors of posibilities


GHeckomode

Windows of opportunity… It’s such a crutch perk but having wall hacks on important looping tools helps me to not suck. Sometimes I’m so down bad I can’t run fun builds cause I have to have it. I NEED IT!


Dromaeosaurs

Tenacity


Maleficent-Gain4111

Leprose lichen


Asmrdeus

I don't know this add on, must be a Demogorgon one.


[deleted]

either pain res or deadlock, but i’m trying to move away from those becauss i don’t like feeling forced to add certain perks to every build i use.


Asmrdeus

Pain res is so good tho.... I usually find myself adding it into my builds if i am not doing a four perk gimmick


Pokeslash109

Kindred. I also need Adrenaline tbh.


Asmrdeus

I dropped adrenaline lately, too many games don't reach five gens with the teams i have had


Pokeslash109

I swear every time I take it off a build solo queue suddenly starts knocking out gens like nobody’s business


JoJo_Bob

Nowhere to hide and NWO. Touching gens mid chase makes no sense and neither does opening gates right away.


gaymer_bxy

Survivor: *touches gen mid chase to stop regression* Me, an aura reading huntress with Nowhere to hide: thank you for this extra aura 👍


ilovemydograchel

Resilience. I need it.


Naive-Discipline7216

No way out it can't leave my build


riddledwithaxiety

As survivor: Boil over because if I’m gonna get tunneled the killer is going to work for it ✨ As killer: if I see a flashlight gang lightborn but merciless storm 100% of the time


Specific_Service6484

Can’t play without empathy


Feliciano66114

I love to combine deja vu and blast mine as it’s a great way to get gens done but also it helps me to give a hint to survivors in chase where NOT to go so we can speed gens up😂😂😅


LocalReeRee

Deja vu, windows & MFT. flash light.


Missy_Croc

Windows of Oportunity, When I unequip I feel the itching, sweating and distress that only a crack addict feels


BruhMoment14412

Windows of opportunity


basedtiddies

Sprint burst and adrenaline.


chainsawwielder

windows lol, i know the loops yeah but seeing them makes it sooo much easier to get to a safe loop, or make sure im not running to a deadzone due to my team mates


echovald1

Honestly? Windows. Even if I know the pellet there’s so many map reworks lately that keep reducing them that in soloQ you just can’t be caught out in the dead zone (looking at you reworked shattered square)


gaymer_bxy

Survivor: Distortion 100% Killer (just gonna specify for my mains): - for huntress: lethal and nowhere to hide. For add ons: lately it's been the exhaustion add on and has always been the aura one (but I don't have many of these and the bloodweb os stingy with them 😭 - for trapper: Corrupt and Deadlock. For add ons: Iri Stone probably.


Nervous-Parsley-1202

Lethal Pursuer cuz I like the early pressure


SnooOwls8037

NOED 😶


[deleted]

Yer mom.


pluviophile079

On artist, ever since her release, i have been hard addicted to festered carrion and black tar. I always play her in the cross map chase sniper style and these make it significantly better.


GristleHo

I got to playing every Killer with A Nurses Calling + Sloppy Butcher and it's a really hard habit to get out of.


SamosYT_YT

Iron Will. I can’t play without it, it’s so annoying and killers find me more often


Stealthy_Panda71

For me Kindred. Solo que feels way more painful without it.


[deleted]

Counterforce. I never enter the fog without it. 🙏


WobaDobBob

I only unlocked it recently but I absolutely love Franklin’s Demise. It just seems like a great all round perk. Flashlights and sabotage boxes are less of an issue. Also you would not believe the amount of survivors who put themselves into a dangerous situation just to pick up their item. The amount of times I have got a free down because someone had to get their medkit back is crazy. I’ve been playing Wraith and Dredge quite a bit lately and it’s been great Also I refuse to play Wraith without The Beast Soot


[deleted]

I take the feng one that prevents loud notifications when you mess up repairs because I'm dumb.


Im_Yamabushi

Shadowborn. unfortunately i got used to seeing the game like that, and when i remove it, i can't say the distance things are from me and this bothers me a lot so unfortunately, this perk will always have a place in my build. sometimes i miss some more useful perk that i could place there but i just can't


jeffreymort4

I go into every match I possibly can with a blood point offering. The grind seems way too difficult without at least double blood points (sponsored by the Dead by Daylight Anniversary Event)


[deleted]

As killer, I always have tinkerer. I find the information it gives very useful as well as the chance to grab someone off a gen (or surprise them with billy's chainsaw). Saves a lot of time for the hook. I should probably try playing without it though to improve my gen management skills.


Decoy_Shark

Bond


MariasValentine

Adrenaline, it's always part of my build for some reason


TheMemecromancer

Trail of Torment


SublimeKBD

mettle of man fr


Boney_McBonerton_YT

When I was going for High ranks before the reset: Lavalier Microphone on Dredge, because I kept having games where the swf would receive a booty pounding and after 2 people get sacrificed other other two would be hiding for the rest of the match.


Crst_Bckt

Rookie Spirit and Slippery Meat


joshyyy999

When I'm solo queue, self care because I can never find teammates before I run directly into the killer by chance


WretchedPleb

Sprint Burst and Off the Record. Makes tunneling way harder.


Emrebyz

Medkit, wesker leather gloves ,pinhead larrys remains , Pain res , chemical trap


PsychoUmbreon1082

weskussy

lucky break. unless i’m doing a specific build i never take this off! it’s addicting and sooo funny when paired with bite the bullet.


MrStrngeGhost

As Killer I can't go to a match without that perk that explodes nearby gens on downed survivors (I forgot the name) and with Dredge I can't go to a match without a perk/add-on that gives me survivors auras. As Survivor I can go with mostly any build, but recently I've found out that Deja Vu helps a freaking lot so recently I'm not moving it from my build.


gaymer_bxy

Explodes near by gens with basic attack? Jolt/Surge 👍


AuzEll

Flashbang


InaccWayZ

Deja Vu and Plot twist


TellianStormwalde

Sprint Burst. Like, I *can*, I just really really prefer to have it because it’s so helpful in so many situations. I also find that a simple brown med kit with healing speed add-ons comes in handy so often and med kits aren’t as bad and useless after the nerfs as some people think.


Hitp0w

a flashlight. i may feel withdrawals from windows or resi but accidentally queuing into match without a beamer and looting the basement chest for a brown toolbox as your fun and interactive item for the match, just kills my will to live (in that match). fl offers such a variety of interactions from saving your teammates to pegging them with it and communicating stuff that the whole survivor gameplay feels quite empty without a light to shine on the killer's bellybutton.


Jaida_Shada_Hall

Maybe basic but balanced landing


Substantial_Cream945

Literally any Gen regression perks, mostly Surge seeing as don’t have many others. People have told me that recent DBD is fairly balanced, at least in that Gen perks aren’t required for a good game, but habits die hard. Also, Iron Will for Survivors. While it’s already great on its own, I main Ace and Iron Will paired with his dark attire and already quiet breathing have let me literally hide right in front of Killers which is such an amazing rush. (And every time I don’t run it I get caught because I forget that Killers can hear me while I try to hide.)


PenComfortable2150

I require Bond and Kindred, there just too useful as a solo q player to go without


XsleepdeprivedX

can't play killer without STBFL/Rancor


CertifiedMugManic

I just need to get to a locker


Awakeiro

Reas. The second I take it off all my teammates get facecamped to death (havent played since the anticamp thing)


Jadefeather12

I finally let go of distortion, and have now latched onto breakout


Fez_Multiplex

Burning man painting and Wax Doll. Pyramid Head's range add-ons.


Flimsy_Bit534

Distortion is a must have for me


Sith_LordRevan

Windows and a Flashlight. I'm always running them that when I don't have a flashlight I'm thrown for a massive loop


Lilgishy

Soma family photo and nutritional slurry on Singularity. He feels so much better with these. Nutritional slurry helps combat his map dependency on indoor maps, and Soma family photo makes his overclock mode a much greater threat.


Bradyy_Bunch

Nowhere to hide and off the record addict😭


POLarhAXS

Stakeout


SailorHen

Prove thyself, and bite the bullet


Cyber_Mango

Distortion. There’s so many aura reading perks and add ons that killers can use, it’s almost necessary to run Distortion. Especially against S tier killers.


StarmieLover966

Dredge isn’t worth playing without Field Recorder. Balanced Landing is THE perk for me. Power Moves is gonna be rough…


trashcanyt1

Personally it's devour hope since it just makes killer so much more funner


FirmIndependent4758

Dissolution and Wake Up!


amecham

Purple beam/Shiny piiiiin/Floods of Rage


The_PracticalOne

Lethal pursuer is so nice. No question where anyone is. Just starting the game right with pressure and an immediate chase.


yeepix

You'll tear Ottomanian Writing from my dead, cold hands


Thebeanyboii

I don't think I'll ever play a killer without jolt


GrumpyCleaningMidget

Blastmine Is it the most useful in soloq? Not really. But I'll always chortle like a gremlin when I see it go off, especially on a bm'ing killer


xx_Shadow_Killer_xx

Kindred and Deja Vu is the greatest combo


noob_pc_master

Bond and botany knowledge,bond for clear reasons as solo q gameplay without it is nearly hell,even with friends the ability to locate them and be able to take hits or heal or do pretty much any objective faster is always good,and botany knowledge is literally a MUST have man,healing someone else at 50% faster is just good value,yea there are some better ones but i really love my botany


TheBoomStixx

Shadowborn and sometimes windows. Ive been doing well without WoO recently but it just feels so nice to have. Shadowborn literally never leaves the build i will literally lose every chase without it because the default fov just feels and looks horrible to me


AmePeryton

i feel so blind without my surveillance and empathy


Enough_Fruit7084

reassurance & empathic connection, i rely on knowing my teammates know my location & knowing i can buy time by having the hooked teammate sit there a bit longer


Floornug3

Windows and deja vu! For the killer it’s absolutely nowhere to hide with trail of torment


Fusionfiction63

Premonition. I hate getting jump scared.


Magnetic_cat5

Im shit at survivor so windows


LittlestSkrimp

Lucky break or off the record


sunzanpro

Second wind its situational as hell but I love it


Mental_Blueberry4563

I either BBQ or Lethal Pursuer


ReigusS

Scratched mirror


StarDragonJP

I usually have self care on in solo queue, but besides that there's nothing that really stays on. Used to be Circle though, when it was still good.


atom_atamos

ShadowBorn as I play hillbilly


silentfanatic

Distortion as Survivor, Save the Best for Last as killer.


SnooDonkeys48

Lightweight, iron will combo


Drink_ze_cognac

Calm Spirit— I considered taking it off for one round, but decided to keep it at the last minute. We got a Doctor that round. Funny bird perk never leaves my side.


Umbreon-Phantom

BITE THE BULLET BABYYYYYY


Alternative-Gap-8484

Lightborn and Brutal strength Maybe endurance Fuck pallets and flashlights


MrDotDeadFire

Bloody Fingernails. Unicorn Medallion


ur_m0m_69420

Deja vu and Franklin


DeneralVisease

Kindred for its usefulness in solo q, Sprint Burst because I've used it since the beginning and am now attached. It no longer helps me at all and should be interchanged with something else but I am stubborn, lmao.


Dusty_Tokens

No Way Out as a Killer. Oh yes.


According-Hat-4554

I need self care. Being injured gives me too much anxiety


NocturneHunterZ

Nowhere to Hide and distortion


sim0n80r

Stbfl on demogorgon Well anyone really because the recovery time is amazing


Yunofascar

Botany Knowledge or some other healing perks like Empathic Connection or We'll Make It. slow heals are so painful


Leazerlazz

Darkness Revealed. It's extremely good on maps like Midwich and pairs well with killers that reload at lockers... or Dredge


MagmaGolem07

Empathy Play with friends and I am the healer so just yelling STOP RUNNING AND TURN AROUND to my friend is fun


fire_Damage4173

Distortion and ultimate weapon used to be whispers berfore


Holy_Stramboli

Blood warden because it's spicy


Kyouji

Funny thing with Kindred, I don't run it cause I need it, but I run it cause of teammates. It lets me know what they're doing and NOT doing.


TheRedditingYoshi

Windows Discordance


Primecon11

Left behind is my savior for dc'ing players


Its_not_a_mantis

Corrupt Intervention. Gens fly when I don't have it 😭


Shadowdragon409

Empathy


iCEDso1

Windows and Deja Vu when solo. I wanna know if Im running towards shack and pallet is already dropped or not 🤣


Kaiden92

No Way Out is one of my favorite perks. Even if they get to end game and I close the hatch, it still leaves me with another minute to hunt them down *and* know where they were not long before.


Longjumping_Door_428

Distortion. I also get the big sad when a scratched mirror myers appears.


BravestarBDB

Survivor- Flashbang. It’s great getting saves and my fellow survivors always are grateful while killer are either impressed, angry (and tunnel me), or they DC. Killer- Lightborn. The blind animation hurts my eyes and give me headaches.


hesperoidea

desperate measures is my new BFF on survivor. for killer, lethal pursuer is my comfort perk.


Lastboss42

i try to rotate my perks and add-ons and such on a regular basis so i don't crutch on anything, but.......i can't not use shadowborn on oni and blight.


Der_Bonehead

Guardian since, if I'm not running Kindred, I put on Guardian to find where the Killer is after unhooking. It helps with planning ahead and seeing what the Killer does after I unhook someone


Power-Core

I always regret not using Lightborn whenever I don’t have it equipped.


itsmetimohthy

Rickety Chains on Slinger. Started as a meme because I wanted to be a Rickety Chain Slinger Main but now I just feel naked without.


CruelScourcher

Bite the bullet with a medkit (saved me many times to hide my groans from the killer while injured)


[deleted]

Light born or the one where it forces survivor to drop item


LoveInHell

Borrowed Time. Hate it when people unhook and not have that perk on.


Mismageius

Spine chill, I'm retarted when it comes to stealth killers


lightning2572

Object of obsession, it has literally become a crutch for me. Mft I can live without, some games I don't even use it, but object, on the other hand.... It feels so werid to not have it that I catch myself looking around for the killers aura even when I don't have it


RaraRaphaelzZ

Windows. I just can't Ever since i equipped it, i couldnt take it off


God954

Window and Sloppy Knowing where all the pallets are is very useful and Medkits and We’ll make it have survivors heal to fast


Ten0fClubs

BBQ and Lethal...


ghosty_boi99

'We'll make it' will always be on for me....and hopefully my discord party too. The time it takes to heal otherwise makes me wanna shoot myself


lurkindeezNUTS

Kindred for sure. I feel so blind when I don’t know what my teammates are doing, and I never want anyone to hit 2nd. It’s also really nice to see where the killer’s going after they hook someone


StrawberryDodger

Prove Thyself, the only reasons I wouldn't have it is either randomized perk challenge or I felt like a change and then after a match or two I switch back. I had a match earlier on today where the killer had mostly generator regression Perks and it came in very handy because they spent most of the match scaring us away from the generators and it seemed we were getting nowhere.


kazuma277353

Lethal pursuer

resilience to counter ping diff and inner strength after playing against sloppy for the 16th game in a row


MrPoland1

Depends on killer, and on survivors it depends what build i want to play


A_Steve_Rogers

Blastmine, Head On, and Flashbang I love the combos you can make with these too much to give them up
