Random perks are awesome!
After trying it multiple times I eventually got the archive to work and got a build that consisted of Leverage, Infectious Fright, No Way Out and (I believe) Discordance. That's a pretty coold build actually. One that I usually wouldn't run because I'm just not that creative when it comes to builds. I missed Shadowborn, so I had to play a bit different than I normally would but it was still super fun.
I would love to see this as a base game feature. It really makes games more exciting and unpredictable when you're suddenly in a situation where you just have to work with what you got and you can even find new perk combinations that you didn't think of before.
Please, devs. Let us play with random perks. You already have it programmed for an archive and with a bit of work it could be a real nice addition to the game. Maybe allow us to have 1 perk locked on something that we don't want to play without (e. g. Shadowborn, Stridor, Bond).
Anyways, good work devs. You made a new feature for archives that is incredibly fun to use and even makes the game feel less stale.

If they bring it in, give extra bp for using it.
Yeah right now I see no point to use random perks unless I have a guarantee the otherside does too.
its just a silly thing to show up into a match with perks that were randomized and ended up having a bunch of anti-synergy while the otherside just showed up with the absolute, most sweaty-meta perk.
With how sweaty my matches are, I would need like 100-200% extra bp to bother with random perks. I barely win with meta perks.
I agree that it either needs to be a mode where everyone is doing it, or give us a reward for doing it.
Otherwise people who think its fun will do it once or twice, get destroyed and go back to meta.
Random perk mode would be great. Would also like a killer shift mode where the killer switches to another random killer with every gen getting done 🙃
Honestly, I don't mind. I mostly don't run meta builds anyway, so I personally wouldn't suffer too hard from a bad build (but I see what you mean). But really this is more like a bit of random fun that I miss in modern day DBD. Playing with random perks is really not so much about winning but about doing something different from what you normally do, so that your matches don't always feel the same.
If they decide to add this in any way (separate game mode or not) I'd be happy about it. And I would use it quite often. As I said it has the potential to even give you a strong build every now and then that you didn't think of before. And even if your build is only mediocre or pretty bad you can still try and make the most of it.
That's an idea I also had but I don't think that is realistic. It just feels like it'd be too goofy. Although, I think I would play this mode quite often. Imagine you start as Freddy, then Trapper, then Myers, then Clown and for the grand finale you get Nurse and turn it all around. 😂
You do realise you can do this yourself right?
Lets calm down, its not like they added a 2v8 mode in the tome.
Update: I just did the other random perks archive for killers and this time I got Dragon's Grip, Deathbound, Make Your Choice and Nurse's Calling. It worked surprisingly well on my Billy.
This is exactly why I would love this as a feature to the normal game. Under normal circumstances I would have never used that build, because why would I? It's not super strong, not super gimmicky and not my comfort build. But it's a fun build to use none the less.
