This build is based on generator defense, which is a crucial component of any good Killer strategy.
Of course, there are plenty of gen regression perks that make great alternatives.Surgewill damage any generators near a down, whileEruptionandOppressioncan damage multiple generators at once.Hex: Ruinpassively damages generators, andNowhere to Hidewill help you track down any survivors near any gen you damage if you want to exchange damage for tracking.
Ranger: Hunter
This perk is based on tracking Survivors, making it easier to follow up with your ranged attack.
If you see a lot of flashlights in the lobby, consider switching one of these perks out forLightborn.
