Which one is better after the buff to Boil Over?

Also, shouldn't Iron Grasp get small buff too like Boil Over?

    I like agitation more cause it can sometimes get you cheeky hits but if the goal is to beat boil over probably iron grasp

    I think in 90% of games, Agitation is superior

    Moving significantly faster is better than being able to move slightly further. You also outspeed survivors with it, meaning you can get hits or move past people trying to bodyblock


    The reduced swaying with IG is cool to have against boil over gamers though

    Both obviously

    agitation is better, but iron grasp multiplies effect of agitation because less swaying makes you actually move slightly faster.

    agitation mad grit.

    Pick him up, chase and slap everybody in drunken master style

    agi, it overall gets you more distance than iron grasp does since you move 18% more per second compared to moving an extra 3.6 m/s

    Neither.

    I've actually tried it out. The RPD library is unhookable, even running both - or so close it makes no difference.

    As perks, Agitation is actually fairly decent. Iron Grasp is complete rubbish.

    I think both are equally as good.

    Against BO specifically, they don't do all that much. The swaying is annoying, but you can play around it. The problem is the wiggle progress on drops, combined with maps where there aren't any hooks close to those drops.

    There is value is hooking survivors faster. Agitation allows the killer to get to the next chase faster.

    Also Agitation provides the killer access to a larger number of hooks. This makes it more valuable when combined with Scourge Hook perks. The killer may actually reach them for each hook.

    Also Agitation increases the killers terror radius while carrying. This makes all terror radius based perks more effective. Especially Starstruck. The killer can cover half the map and apply SS over a wide berth.

    And this is why my Nurse build is Pain Resonance, Agitation, Starstruck.

    I would run them together if you are trying to play around wannabe bully squads. Otherwise, it probably is not worth running either.
