Hey everyone, today I wanted to discuss some more perks that completely failed in their purpose. Perks that were to fulfil a role but ultimately just don’t achieve what they are aiming to do. They aren’t necessarily all going to be bad either, they just fail at what they are meant to be. This is just my opinion of course. Really, perks don’t have a designated purpose, so this is of course always up for debate whether they do fulfil their role or not. This time around we’re looking at killer perks.

I *massively* disagree with genetic. you pair that with nurses calling or something and you're gonna be getting chases on folks who can't sprint burst from a heal or what not. it's *really* effective in my experience.
Combine Unnerving Presence with Huntress Lullaby and the clown perk that makes healing skill checks twice as fast, really the only time I see this perk really being useful.
Alien instinct purpouse is not to sneak to the survivor, but to have general knowlege what to do next, after hooking someone.
No, shattered hope is doing what it’s supposed to. Shattering the killer’s hope of getting value.
A rework to beast of prey i thought of was gaining bloodlust faster by X seconds or X percent but in return you cannot reach tier 3
I wish Dark Devotion worked when hitting any survivor with a cooldown, that'd be sick. Also i've been watching your vids for as long as these lists were going on 2x speed, i put it on normal this time and it's like i'm listening in slow motion now lol
I guess beast of prey can be useful in chase because it hides the red stain you can mind game easier
Ironically, you were playing perhaps the only killer that could use Beast Of Prey effectively. On Ghostface, survivors will throw a chase trying to break what they think is your Nightshroud, letting you get free hits by just following a survivor like a bot.
Imo, you totally missed the mark with shattered hope. Circle pf healing was never OK, cause it provided an infinite number of value – perk remained a huge problem up until it was hard nerfed in 6.7.0. The real reason to shattered hope’s failure is it’s instability.
Even when boons were at their strongest and were everywhere, you could have a game with zero boons in your lobby, or a boon was never placed – or you just never had the time to find and crush it, let alone do that multiple times. Shattered hope basically turned to be an alternative to an empty perk slot in most games.
Nevertheless, a great video, the type of content I love this cannel for. Something unique and fresh!
Alien instinct works well for Dredge and the Xeno, but I don't know if its worth a slot
Dark Devotion may not be a great perk… but it's a very fun perk. If you pair it with another stealth perk, you can confuse the hell out of enemy teams, and it's great. I don't think I've ever made a team more confused than when I used Dark Devotion, Trail of Torment, Plaything, and Monitor & Abuse. Not a powerful build, but it sure as hell gets some reactions!
“Dying Light” DYING LIGHT GAME REFERENCE!?
Okay admittedly, Beast of Prey is awful for all killers except Onryō, survivors will think she's demanifested but actually she still on you. Works wonders on T L walls. Try it sometime
(Coming from yours truly: A BoP user)
You missed a crucial detail on alien instinct. It reveals furthest injured survivor, which may prove even more useless if teams are constantly healthy.
just pair genetic limits with nurse's calling its actually pretty good
Actually Grim embrace, dark devotion and alien predator are good and underrated perks.
I feel like Oblivious should stay hidden until you see the killer. By definition, you’re not oblivious if you know what’s going on.
First miss on a video haha
as a deathbound enjoyer, it's a really fun concept but it should apply to both sides and maybe also give blindness when both are apart.
The advantage to playing with off-meta or failed perks might is people don't expect it. When the obsession gets injured in one of my bear traps miles away and I get random stealth on my way to a gen, survivors don't know what hit 'em. Add in Grim Embrace for maximum shenanigans and annoy the hell out of teams who were thiiiis close to clinching
Dark devotion is actually fairly good believe it or not use it with perks that swap the obsession like game afoot so even if they are on guard it doesn’t matter it also gives you unique build ideas
