Why BBQ &. Chili is not an OP perk

Just saw someone say it is. Someone with over a thousand posts say it's the Aura not the Bp. Killers use it primarily for BP not the aura. So let me show you why it isn't OP.

1. Jump in a locker

2. Hide behind a gen

3. Walk one direction for four seconds then go the other way.

4. Get within 40 meters of the hook not that hard for reference that's the range of Huntress's hum

But the killer can zoom says the person who couldn't use one of the four counters to a perk. So let me name every killer who could reach you in time and why it still isn't that bad.

1. Windstorm Wraith okay no terror radius he zooms over an gets you except he's Wraith you'll be fine.

2. Spirit with speed add-ons okay the Spirit phases to you but at that point her power is completely drained and you'll be looping a 4.4.

3. Demogorgon with his portals okay you walk near one of his portals he teleports to it except you'll hear it coming and then you leave and can hear his footsteps

4. Sniping Huntress this is very unlikely even the best Huntresses can't consistently pull this off it's rare.

5. The Twins okay Charlotte sees you unbinds Victor you'll hear it coming and if Victor does latch on you Charlotte will be so far away it can't be utilized.

6. Legion with duration add-ons okay even with double duration by the time he gets there his or her power is drained and you're looping an M1

7. Blight okay he zooms over there. Once more he would've used all his charges he's an M1 killer when he gets to you.

8. Oni okay he pops his power heads your direction. Okay you hear it coming and it's terribly risky for an Oni unless they're good at tracking to pop their power after you. Without being on you. He's slower then Billy using Demon Dash. Not to mention he can't zoom all the time.

9. Billy okay he zooms over to you. Once more you'll hear it coming and Billy's power can struggle at some loops.

10. Nurse okay she begins to teleport to you once more you'll hear it coming and good Nurses are very rare. And she'll use both her charges before she gets there you'll be able to get distance.

11. Freddy okay he sees you near a gen he teleports there you'll hear the gen with the blood splatter and he won't be undetectable you can gain distance.

Final conclusion there are 22 killers currently in the game as I write this. First six scenarios require add-ons or aren't efficient with the Aura that means there are only 5 killers who can truly utilize BBQs aura and even then it's not like they're approaching you with stealth. And for Oni it's a gamble. Billy and Nurse you'll hear. Freddy isn't as precise so not guaranteed to be an immediate hit. And Blight would have wasted all his charges. And people that's why BBQ & Chili isn't a OP perk.

    Every perk you mentioned is not used nearly as much as BBQ except maybe DS. And none of them give double BP. As killer I’ve almost never played against OoO, which is annoying, but whatever. The point of the thread is BBQ is OP because it gives double BP, the aura reading capability and it’s used in probably 75% of games. Maybe you should read things more carefully before responding.

    Wait what?

    No way dude, you gotta be high right?

    Bbq OP because of the bp?

    Really?

    😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    For real you changed from aura reading to bp, if you gonna argue about a perk than stay at 1 point and don't suddenly change it when you're proven wrong.

    And before saying "I never said that"

    Here is 1 of your comments.

    That’s 4 seconds x 11 (max number of hooks before 4K). You can take the risk and not hide, but it still gives information to the killer. The point of it being OP is most killers use it, it is used for aura reading either to point out the next target or give at minimum good info and gives double bp. I play trapper a lot with bbq and I find it quite useful to find my next target. Killers should at least be honest that it’s used for more than the bp. That’s all. I don’t think anything you say will convince me it’s not so let’s leave it at that.


    And about ds, yes that is used in 95 out of 100 matches, way more than bbq.

    I played survivor all day today (without ds) and barely saw any bbq.

    And yes OoO is freaking annoying in a swf especially when you play freddy vs all 4 using it.

    And believe me that it is used way more than you might tell yourself.

    If it’s “not op” (PFT!) Why is it used so much?!?!?! The advantage is assume it’s in use. When someone gets picked up, scurry for a locker or try to position behind a gen.

    I guess DS, Dead hard, iron will, borrowed time and all those survivor perks are OP then

    Sorry but if you can't somehow do one of the 4 counters you're not good. Generators are your primary objective can't be hard to be near one. Lockers are around loops and the main building. Often where gens are. Walk one way for 4 seconds then guess what turn around. Or get within 40 meters which is a large portion of the map.

  • If everyone’s sure BBQ is that powerful, I propose an experiment: devs should just make the BP bonus base kit for Killers and remove it from BBQ.

    Make that change and see how many killers still run it for the OP Aura Reading (Spoiler: they will not).
