We're Gonna Live Forever buff/modification
When you compare perks between Survivors and Killers, trying to find out which one gives the most Blood Points (BP), everyone will say BBQ and Chili for Killers and We're Gonna Live Forever (WGLF) for Survivors. Both of these perks at Tier 3 grant a 25% stackable bonus to all BP gains up to a maximum of 100% and award it to you post-trial. But sadly, that is where their similarities end. Let me elaborate by explaining per definition the perks.
Barbecue and Chili - A deep bond with The Entity unlocks potential in one's aura reading ability. After hooking a Survivor, all other Survivors' auras are revealed to you for 4 seconds when they are further than 40 meters from the hook.
- Each time that a Survivor is hooked for the first time, gain a 25% stackable bonus to all BP gains up to a maximum of 100%.
- The bonus BP are only awarded post-trial.
We're Gonna Live Forever - Your few friends deserve the best protection. Each time you perform a Safe Hook Rescue or take a hit to protect a Survivor, gain 25% stackable bonus to all BP gains up to a maximum of 100%. The bonus BP are only awarded post-trial.
Now a lot of Killers say that they only run BBQ and Chili because of the bonus BP and that's why you see it being the top Meta perk but I beg to differ. If you were to take away it's aura reading capabilities, that perk would most likely never be used aside from bonus BP events such as Blood Rush. And currently right now, that's where WGLF is sitting. Though a good perk when farming points, it's useless to most solo queue Survivors if it's not during a special event and it takes up a perk slot that could've been vital for something else.
I say this simply because as a Killer, it is beneficial to run BBQ and Chili due to it's aura reading capabilities to immediately hunt down others. The bonus BP is just a bonus to what they already do which is hook Survivors. But for a Survivor, they already unhook Survivors and have plenty of perks that praise you for taking protection hits such as Mettle of Man. WGLF offers no additional support or help aside from post-trial points so why would you run it if it offers no immediate return.
I propose we add some more capability to this perk on top of the bonus BP it grants. Possibly aura reading abilities that shows all Survivors (and/or Killer) on the map briefly for 4 seconds so that way it's the Survivor's replica of BBQ and Chili. Maybe merge the perk We'll Make it with WGLF to entice more Altruistic plays in the game or perhaps have the Survivor be granted automatic great skill checks when healing the unhooked Survivor. Really anything could do that would aid the Survivors and make the perk a more viable option to use. It's a perk that takes up a slot and offers no value during the play of the match.
Comments
Maybe every time you take a successful protection hit you see all survivors auras for 4-8 seconds? (4 might not be enough time for you to check where everyone is)
Maybe. Though as killer when I hook someone with BBQ and Chili, I can easily scan for Survivor locations within 4 seconds.
