Great list! Personally, I don’t consider balanced landing underrated because it’s now one of the best exhaustion perks (RIP DH)
Special shoutout to Deja Vu and Desperate Measures, two very underrated perks imo!
I HECKIN LOVE VIGIL!
Also its probably a bug, but when someone dies with leader it still gives people leader effects with the range being where they died 🙂
I can’t believe Empathic Connection is on top… I always use it with Bond so I can see the survivor that wants to be healed as well
I wish the perk Wicked made it on this list. Still a great video.
I think strength in shadows and wicked are very underrated perks I use strength in shadows more but I like wicked a lot
Troubleshooter is really a great perk that no one use
Solidarity (converts all healing 70%) especially when others are not running healing builds.
I like using Aftercare instead of Bond just because my teammates can also see me, so hopefully they don’t bring the Killer towards me. (They still do)
Lots of underrated perks in this game but imo nothing even comes close to for the people. Its an anti slug and an anti tunnel built into a single perk, sure you have to injure yourself and its tricky in solo q but the potential this perk has is insane and should definitely be ran more
Chem trap is fantastic. My fav build rn is chem trap, Flashbang, well make it, and windows. Allows for a lot of versatility and fun game interactions.
Flash bang is under rated and also i think botany knowledge
Desperate Measures I think is another super underrated perk, it's super helpful in solo queue. I take it with me almost every match. When you're stuck with a team who doesn't do shit, and you're forced to get the unhook, it really comes in clutch. You can quickly unhook anyone and heal them relatively quickly, and it goes great with any healing build. It's super good against killers like Legion and it really helps against camping. If even a couple survivors are injured, you can easily unhook someone before the killer finishes their hit animation. Plus, by hitting you before the unhook, it just ups your unhook speed by another 14%, making the unhook even quicker. I can't tell you how many times this has helped me against campers.
I'd add tencity as an underrated perk. The amount of value you can get with it when paired with unbreakable, lets you disappear a mile away if the time comes where the killer slugs you (which usually happens often). Hell you can even 99% your recovery and just crawl away and save your unbreakable if other survivors are around to pick you up
I'm pretty sure vigil doesn't work for exposed or broken, it can not be a combo with Deliverance or Renewal.
I always thought rookie spirit was really useful and yet literally no one is using it
Bond or Chemical Trap should have been the number 1 and 2 spots on the list, such good info on bond even when playing in SWF. And the strength of chemical trap is really annoying to deal with as killer, especially with its ridiculously easy requirement now
one of the most underrated perks that literally no one talks about is reactive healing. u can heal mid chase if people take hits for u, for example when ur getting tunneled, or if the killer is slugging or snowballing, u can reset ur self easy for safety
I would also throw Made For This in there. Yes, the perk is significantly weaker than before, to the point you may not get value at all from it a lot of games. (And since they’re buffing Genetic Limits and Blood Echo, which means it’s very easy to cause exhaustion now, I personally think they could revert this perk to its original state, but also having it deactivate if there’s another haste effect present. That way it’s not so broken and doesn’t stack with other haste perks. Which I think would make the perk in line with this chase meta the devs seem to be going with, like them buffing Quick Gambit. Which I like a lot.) much like the perks unbreakable, and we’re gonna live forever, when it works, IT WORKS. I’ve had matches before that would’ve been completely lost without this perk due to the endurance effect it gives. And of course the 3% haste is nice when a killer actually chases you when it procs lol.
Reassurance is a 10/10 perk. It’s almost always in my build.
Repressed alliance is also super underrated, you can counter pain res, pop, or any gen regression perk with it.
How the hell is one of the most used perks in the game underrated? I can understand everything else on the video, but We'll Make It it's like top 10 or 20 used survivor perks (actually, Bond is pretty high too, but yeah, it might be a bit more underappreciated), with that said, We'll Make It it's just one of the most praised and used perks in the game so every other perk could have fit perfectly that spot.
Stake Out is also really underrated.
The value you get from doing gens with it can be game-changing.
Also, it can act as a Spine Chill alternative as it activates when the killer is close to you.
Well make it + Second Wind is such underrated combo I often run it with Balance Landing and Windows so I have chase and healing build in one, and still after I heal someone I got free heal after being unhooked.
The only downside of this build is the fact that in soloQ ppl try to unhook themself in front of us which could counter our perks but if they succeed I just don't heal them because it's disrespectful to unhook in front of me when I take my time to go for them instead of doing gens
Bond is a staple in my builds, the level of knowledge you get from having it is ridiculous and even when playing with others unless everyone is a seasoned player that knows all the maps and does quality call outs it's still useful.
I feel like deja vu is pretty underrated.
Granted, i never see deja vu being called a bad perk, but i also don't see anyone run it anymore or really even mention it much either. Free gen speed for nothing more than existing? That time that you save DOES add up as the game goes on which makes it singlehandedly one of THE BEST gen rush perks imo.
Deja vu, sprint burst, vigil, and whatever second gen speed perk i feel like is the build i use on kate and being able to quickly dash to a gen i get to complete faster with no downsides alone has won my team a good chunk of games.
you dont actually get the extra second out of smash hit, its only there because you spend almost a second stuck in animation dropping the pallet
i'd put troubleshooter since is very useful in soloq
Desperate Measures counters hook trades, and the bonus healing is so helpful for healing pthers and yourself with a medkit. It's the #1 most underrated perk in my opinion.
