Fellow demo mains, Corrupt or Infectious?
My build is as follows
BBQ / Thrilling, Pop, Corrupt / infectious, Save the best for the last
Pop and BBQ/Thrilling are a great synergy and i don't think pop can perform well without either.
Save the best for the last cause you know why, super aggressive demos need this
Im not sure about the 4th perk, should i make it corrupt to give me time to set up portals or infectious to increase my assault game

Definitely Infectious. I love Corrupt but Infectious is sooo good. With STBFL and chaining shred downs you're literally unstoppable.
Well corrupt won't help you much the whole game tbh. Survivors can still play around it as if it's not there too. I think your better off with Infectious Fright.
Infectious is very nice on Demo as it allows you to play more aggressive, and gives you a bunch of info.
I personally use both in my build: BBQ, Infectious, STBFL, and Corrupt
Corrupt is very nice on demo as it allows you to get your portals placed around the map without immediately giving up 1 to 2 gens.
I use,
I don't really like Infectious on him, he can't really down people to quickly but I might try it and maybe I'll change my mind. But I usually run IF on Killer with one hit dows abilities or Killer who have insane snowball potential like Nurse with a normal Terror Radius.
That build is so disgusting. Overkill much? Honestly, if you're playing demo aggressively, that build is just easy mode.
It turns a very fun killer into an oppressive fun sponge. I hate seeing how popular builds like that are in DBD, the laziness is off the charts.
What should Demo run then as that's the build I use for it.
Corrupt
BBQ
STBFL
Monitor
I like to avoid STBFL in Demo builds. It seems to take the fun out of using his pounce attacks.
@SpookySZN
It's not a case of what you 'should' run, but the alternatives are really cool; stuff like: Unrelenting (for pallet break mindgames), Discordance (for free intel to aid in rotation pressure), Hangman's Trick (to reveal possible next targets post hook, especially ones that aren't revealed on BBQ if you use it), Whispers, Shadowborn/M&A, Enduring, Dead Man's Switch...stuff like this to boost Demo in an alternate way than just Chase, Hook, Pop, Chase, Hook, Pop etc.
@JawsIsTheNextKiller yeah exactly, and makes other chases way too easy and feel cheap
You know Hangman's Trick was nerfed from that one PTB, right?
personally i use Corrupt, Pop, BBQ and STBFL. i prefer going for 12 hooks and not really slugging, corrupt just stops all that early gen progress and on some of the bigger and harsher maps really provides the benefits, not to mention it gives more time for me to get pop or stacks on STBFL
@TAG it still has value, since a lot of hooks spawn near gens. I'm not saying it's a must use, new Demo meta, but it's an example of a perk that provides a refreshing change from the dull builds people do spam all the time on the fun killers.
The one time I tested it for a period of time to see how it fared post-PTB, I got exactly one instance of information from it.
Listen, I may not be a demo main, but I don't think infectious would work well with him. Demo doesn't have good snowball at all, but if you want to run it, run it. Corrupt is absolutely amazing on demo, as it gives you time to set up some portals.
that's 2 early game perks and 2 aggressive perks, there's no gen delay. Pop is a life savior a lot of times.
If you know how to time his shred effectively you wont be needing enduring since you'll be shredding those pallets most of the time or getting a hit, or at best both.
Monitor synergises with infectious more than corrupt but corrupt is still solid, and PGTW still needs a tracking perk.
He does with STBFL
Sounds great, you nailed the addons too
There's no mid-game gen delay here but this is super aggressive it might just account for it. I might try running both
Well, I play without gen delay and still do well.
Also, Corrupt makes the difference between losing a far gen or not losing it, so it actually is a gen delay Perk.
Whispers for Early Tracking as well as late Tracking, BBQ for far and midgame Tracking and Save the Best for Last because it's easily his best Perk.
So it actually consists of 1 aggressive Perk, 2 Tracking Perks and 1 Slowdown Perk.
i'm more of a corrupt person, i'd rather take the slow down then the tracking, specially when i#m on groaning storehouse and the best 3 gen in the game is blocked off and i can set up
not a demo player but with corrup you wont do a mistake. its good for every killer.
but infectious is a bit meh if you dont play with a insta down killer or with a low mobility killer. slugging isnt that effective for weaker killers.
I use stbfl, infectious, nurses, and pop. And infectious will help you out int he long run much better than corrupt.
