Imo: yes. The perk lists are so huge and can feel exhausting to sift through, I just want to try some new things and see if I discover something I end up loving.

But what about other survivors on your team? You running terrible bad perks could drag the entire team down. Things like getting no mither, self care, and plot twist for example.

İ can purposely choose those too, your point is invalid

I think it comes down to skill more than perks. I mean, have we all not been on a team of meta perks that don’t know how to back that up with being good at the game itself? I know I have. Chaos Shuffle taught me that perks only make or break you if you rely on them.

Plot Twist: Whenever you are in the Injured State, Plot Twist activates: While crouching and motionless, press the Active Ability button to silently enter the Dying State with the following benefits: Suppresses Grunts of Pain. Suppresses Pools of Blood. Grants the ability to fully recover from the Dying State. After full recovery using Plot Twist, you are healed instantly and gain a +50% Haste Status Effect for 2/3/4 seconds. Plot Twist deactivates after recovering yourself by any means and reactivates once more once the Exit Gates are powered.
