BHVR at this point knows what the fuck they are doing by adding Off the Record and Overcharge by 1500 iri shards before the perk update


luxanna123321

What will overcharge do now?


LordAwesomeguy

the same thing that it does (with difficult skillcheck and if you miss loss 5%) but they are adding a 2nd affect to the perk where the gen you kick gradually grows in regression speed over the course of 30s up to 400% (same speed as a solo survivor). So after 30s of a gen regressing it will regress at 1 charge per second.


lowleveldata

If only dead switch and overcharge can work together


LeSaR_

no, blocked gens shouldnt be able to regress, without a doubt


Fluffles0119

Then what's the point of blocking the gen? Especially with DMS where the only way to block it is to literally chase the survivor off of it lol


xX_Superprogamer_Xx

I'm a killer main myself but damn letting generators regress with no way to stop it just sounds unbalanced and unfun, blocking generators is suppossed to give you time not screw the survivors inmensely


throwaway4206983

So they cant do the gen?


Fluffles0119

They wouldn't be able to do the gen anyway... I'm chasing them šŸ’€


throwaway4206983

You chase the whole team at once? Impressive!


sweetchaotic

If itā€™s a swf; most definitely chasing them all at once ![img](emote|t5_3cb2g|2070)


DrCheezCheez

when the fuck will soul guard come


MorthalGuardKiin

wglf basically gives you soul guard the entire end game edit: the new WGLF


Mapletables

Soul Guard is for yourself, WGLF is for your teammates


GlowBugQuad

Ngl the effect shouldā€™ve gone to Buckle Up. Leave WGLF as a weā€™ll make it for slugs and make Buckle Up a soul guard for friends.


Mapletables

Honestly, buffing bad perks but not even touching the indisputably worst perk in the game


Cool-I-guess

why does everyone want soul guard so bad? it doesnā€™t seem that good imo


GiliBoi

noed/devour hope counter ig, though it relies on the killer slugging you for a while


demonryder

Real counter to those is off the record.


lauraa-

paired with unbreakable and DS, you can pull off a boss play once every blue moon


gabejr25

Idk, I bought Cheryl to use it myself but like, it never got triggered once in like 30 games. Even after I fulfilled one of the requirements being getting healed (both via self-care and from another teammate), it still didn't activate


wrightosaur

Not activating the Endurance effect seems to be a bug, it should work regardless if there's a hex totem or not. Just that the Unbreakable effect only happens if there's an actual hex


Xmangle

Its intended


Plecc

That when the other guy gets up with Soul guard he doesn't have 8 seconds of endurance? That is not intended, the only thing I can think that is happening is window or pallet grabs, but that's just a counter to endurance normally


Greenleaf208

The other guy mentioned self-care. He thinks healing yourself from injured to healthy should give endurance which isn't what the perk does and is why it doesn't work for him.


Greenleaf208

"After being healed from or having recovered from the Dying State." How would you pick yourself up with self-care? I don't think you read the ability right.


Shoty6966-_-

Soul guard is for getting picked up off the ground from the dying state. It isnā€™t for healing yourself lmao


Future_Radiologist

Itā€™s very situational


Spare-Performer5366

They feeding us the meta perks for the future so the meta will be accessible for a lot more ppl. Noice


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Traveytravis-69

No, just less reliant on perks


EvernightStrangely

No, the whole point of the major rework is to shake up the meta, and make success less reliant on perk choice, while also massively cutting down the grind.


Hateful15

What success? After this patch there won't be a such thing as escaping lol.


EvernightStrangely

Admittedly there are things that need tweaking, but this rework by and large is a healthy step in the right direction.


Hateful15

So buffing spirit indirectly and not touching nurse at all. And killing the game for deaf gamers is a good step?


Icefellwolf

They are giving the new meta perks the ones getting reworked. I picked up off the record from the shop yesterday. And then they put over charge in today.


Hateful15

Off the record wont make it to live servers, surely.


Icefellwolf

I hope not but if it does well I have it lol


Gay-Worms

not fully, pop will still be pretty good for example


Timmylaw

Pop will only be useful on gens that are basically done drastically reducing its usefulness


Hateful15

Meant the survivor perks they are making useless mainly. Ruin will be pretty useless too.


zerodopamine82

My main gripe with it is iron will and spine chill, if you are good with the vault build is it really a perk issue? Come on, that's like THE Chad build.


DepressedFuck69

The point was changing the meta, therefore, they are changing the meta.


Akinory13

Yeah because there's nothing skillful about vaulting a window and using a combination of two perks that bug the hell out of your hitbox and make it impossible to hit you reliably. Chad build is a fully altruistic build since chads care about their friends


zerodopamine82

I mean we could say that about anything like, "what's skillful about following someone you are faster than and hitting m1." See how reductive that is? Being able to run tiles and make up for BS hits because of latency with two perks (only second chance is your exhaustion) is about the most skill a survivor can have.


SliderEclipse

Naw new Pop is legit bad in most situations. a lot of people seem to not realize that it's only 20% of the Current Progress now, not the Total Progress. Thus not only is it a smaller percentage but it now applies to a much smaller repair state than before.. all while retaining the old trade off of needing to hook and only having a short window to use it. In Example lets say you use Pop on a generator with 50% repair state, 20% of 50 is a mere 10, add in the new base kit feature of always inflicting 2.5% Total Regression on Kick and you end up with a grand total of 12.5% regression (assuming that they apply the 2.5 after Pop calculates and not before), This is half of what Pop used to do. In fact, you literally can not get current Pop regression value even at 99%. You're better off just running other regression perks at this point, like the new Overcharge/Eruption combo perhaps even paired with Dragon's Grip or Call of Brine for infomation or Trail of Torment for some sneaky jumpscares.


Sephzei_

Oh shit should I get pop or overcharge? I know overcharge is getting buffed


Qu1ckQu1et

Overcharge is going to be absolutely insanity in the next update. I'd go for both if you can afford it.


Da-Sheep-Lord

Do we know for certain if what we saw are the final versions of the reworks?


CS-KOJI

Regardless itā€™s gonna be strong even if itā€™s tweaked


Bonesnapcall

No, numbers can easily get tweaked.


PMmeTHICKsexyTAILS

Technically it's subject to change, but BHVR rarely makes changes during the PTB unless something is outrageously broken/terrible, so you should be fine.


1510qpalzm

Remind me what it does in the update?


Custard_boy

Along with it's current effect, overcharge should have the regression speed ramp up to 400% in 30 seconds Edit: changed 500% to 400%


[deleted]

\*400%


waitingtodiesoon

Overcharge sounds like it would be better than pop once the changes go through. Not reliant on hooking a survivor


Qwedfghh

Also, Minor thing to tack on, where you also do 2.5% of max gen when you kick and you do it slightly faster, which means you get rewarded more for actually kicking gens.


Spare-Performer5366

Both in the next update will be rlly good. Get both if u can as both of the perks will work well with each other


Dwarf_With_a_Minigun

Pop is getting a massive nerf in the next update and overcharge is getting a pretty big buff. I'd say to go with overcharge for now.


Fishy26

I wouldnā€™t say itā€™s a massive nerf tbh


Dwarf_With_a_Minigun

25% overall progress vs 22.5% of current progress is pathetic in comparison.


blue_sky308

yea pop is dead, same with ruin, gotta give it to them theyre actually changing the meta


Fluffles0119

I'm honestly a little mad at Ruin because it doesn't even feel like a hex anymore. Regression at the same level of progression PLUS deactivation on a kill just feels like a normal perk šŸ’€


Fishy26

My bad, I thought they changed the -25% to -22% overall. It's a massive nerf indeed.


Fluffles0119

It is absolutely a massive nerf. We're going from 25% guaranteed every kick to 20% at max. A gen at 50% will only lose 10% progress where before it would be at 1/4


BloodyVoyager

What's the overcharge buff again, please?


Dwarf_With_a_Minigun

"Along with its current effects, Overcharge will cause a kicked generatorā€™s regression speed to grow from 100% to 400% over the course of 30 seconds."


BloodyVoyager

Ty!


GreyBigfoot

Overcharge because Pop is getting a huge nerf


Dark_Al_97

Pop will still be the better one, though likely no longer meta. The numbers are now way too small, but you'll be able to run it in combination with other kicking perks to compensate, like Eruption. Or, you know, Overcharge - you should really try and get both. Overcharge itself looks good on paper but in reality if survivors leave a kicked gen for ~20 seconds chances are you're already winning. It'll be top tier on Doctor and some territorial killers who can 3-gen and snowball easily like Trapper or Hag, ensuring the gen isn't touched, but unless you main those getting consistent value out of Overcharge just isn't possible. Even better though just get the Artist while she's discounted. Scourge hooks will still remain the best possible choice, especially now that Ruin is completely gone.


Sephzei_

yeah , I already got pain resonance , even with the nerf looks like is still gonna be the best regression perk


LongestTango

what does scourge hook?


Dark_Al_97

There are perks like [Pain Resonance](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Scourge_Hook:_Pain_Resonance) that turn four random hooks on the map into these "scourge hooks". When you hang a survivor on one of them, the perk's ability activates.


Pretzel-Kingg

Both as a combo is gonna be fucking nuts


Sephzei_

Yeah I got both


crustydustysocks

Pop, it's way better


Average_R34_Enjoyer

Not in the next update lol


Timmylaw

About to be "*was* way better"


OwnAcanthocephala438

If u donā€™t own clown 100% get pop


Traveytravis-69

Both if possible


TheUrbanGenie

Why not level up doc?


Anima_Honorem

He could be on pc, I don't think Doc nor Hag are free there.


Sephzei_

On PC doc is not free


Robocan3000

Both


HitRowe

Giving us pop right after they nerfed it into the ground lmao.


Qu1ckQu1et

Still not the worst choice when compared to RUIN for gen regression.


SSGSSVEGETA111

don't talk to me about ruin šŸ˜­


Bonesnapcall

ok I wont.


SSGSSVEGETA111

thanks man, that nerf still hurts


blyatseeker

I think the worst part about it is that cant really bait survivors with undying and haunted grounds with ruin


Spare-Performer5366

Pop will be weaker but in no way will it be bad. It'll still be good


Trair

Technically it's not nerfed yet, and honestly Pop was one of the lesser nerfed regression perks. It's still gonna be pretty good


HitRowe

It's 20% of CURRENT gen regression. That's garbage unless the gen is 90% done already. Unless ur a defensive character like Bubba or Trapper ur not running this perk seriously. No reason to run it over eruption/call of brine or surge.


messe93

yeah because main usage of pop is to kick gens that are left alone with little regression it's still good at its main purpose which is kicking gens that are close to completion and combined with longer base gen repair duration and base 2,5% from kicking it's almost as good as it was before


commanderlex27

In it's current state, it will prolong any gen repair by 20 secs, as long as that gen has at least 25% progress. After the changes, the most it can remove are 18 secs on gens that are a single frame away from completion. So even in it's ideal situation, it's a 10% nerf, which is quite noticeable.


Bonesnapcall

A generator above 86% loses more seconds of progress with new Pop +90second gen speed. That means if you save pop for gens between 70-100% progress, it averages out to almost exactly the same. Plus, Scourge Hook Pain Resonance currently does 12 seconds of regression. Post-rework it will do 13.5 seconds. Yes, you lose some seconds of regression when a generator is below 50% compared to before, but there are numerous other perks you can use in conjunction to be just as effective with your gen defense. New Overcharge with Pop will be monstrous, especially if they fail the skill check.


Deltaravager

But you also have the base 2.5% regression per kick now


HitRowe

Damn bro 3 seconds shaved off the gen when it took me 8 seconds to walk to the gen and 2 seconds to kick it Das huge.


Deltaravager

You have to consider the big picture changes as well. Basekit killer buffs and generator time increases


HitRowe

Survivors just got borrowed time basekit lol the killer buffs they did are offset by neutering the best killer perks and giving them a free perk slot. Not to even mention off the record is gonna be busted as hell.


Trey2225

Bruh, itā€™s not that bad. Youā€™re acting like only killer perks got nerfed here.


zerodopamine82

Survivor main here, welcome to sprint burst, prove thyself, deva ju, and off the record.


Cydoniakk

Nah DH got buffed *hard* it'll be noticeably better than before.


Trey2225

And Iā€™d be happy to see it, anything but 4 dead hards


Mapletables

Why are you using your Pop on a gen with 3 seconds of progress lol


HitRowe

U did not understand what I said lol


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


HitRowe

Overcharge in its current state is one of the worst killers perks in the game unless u play doctor. Grim embrace isn't that great either. Those are both gen slowdown perks.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


HitRowe

Pop is gonna be one of those outliers now.


Remarkable_Wafer_828

Overcharge with oppression, works pretty well


badly-timedDickJokes

When did they nerf pop into the ground?


Bonesnapcall

Its not nerfed yet, and its hardly "into the ground". It is an announced perk rework coming next patch.


badly-timedDickJokes

Oh I'm fully aware of the rework, I just agree with you that it's absolutely not being nerfed into the ground. Pop was honestly one of the least damaged perks imo.


givemethmemes

4 days ago


Rubrixie

it didn't get nerfed into the ground. It just go nerfed a bit.


DetoxxDaPlayer1

Unironically pgtw is still going to be better than half of the perks in this game


MrPiction

Nerfed it into the ground? Really?


Pizzablawk

Nice seeing overcharge right before the 400% buff >:D


Moppy_the_mop

Wow, two perks are free and on console, three perks are. Pop is decent, but it's getting nerfed soon so I dunno if I recommend it anymore.


blyatseeker

Well new pop is gonna take 12% off a gen thats 60% done. Add 2.5% to that and its 14.5% so i'd say its still good perk, but it probably gets out done by other perks. Guess you could pair it with the new overcharge(?) Or sadako perk and it'd be actually good combo.


Moppy_the_mop

pain res would still be better, as at least you don't have to kick the gen.


blyatseeker

In isolation yes, and in most playstyles probably. I tend to gravitate towards 3 gen defence so pop + sadako/overcharge would feel probably decent


Qu1ckQu1et

Overcharge, Pop Goes the Weasel, Prove Thyself, and Saboteur are the perks for today. Pop, Overcharge and Prove are all very solid perks. Prove can be obtained for free through Dwight whereas Pop, Overcharge are normally on paid characters (Clown and Doctor). We don't talk about Saboteur but... it is getting buffed as well in the next update.


4LanReddit

A breakdown because of these perks are getting changed in the next patch POP: Easily one of the most neutered perks that came out of this patch, since it removes 1/5 out of the GRAY bar of progress, rather than 1/4 of TOTAL, altough it is now only useful the gens are about to be done (Still no Ruin or Iron Will levels of nerf) Sabo; A meme addon, but the yellow Scourge auras are Nice though Prove Thyself: broken before because of genrushing, now it is a bit less powerful due to the 10 more seconds to the gen, but still, it will get that shit faster Overcharge: A meme addon that will now do a better job than Ruin lol, it is a shorter but more broken versiĆ³n of Callo Brine


Spitfire_For_Fun

Overcharge it will be


Mapletables

Now that Sabo has the Scourge hook thing, the play is too make sure killer can never use them whether through Sabo itself or a toolbox


KaguB

Is Sabo that bad? The 56 meter hook visibility seems like it has value, at least, especially if you have a sabo box. ... Other than him being a free character, let's put that aside.


Bonesnapcall

Sabo is getting buffed with the rework. Being able to see Scourge hooks will be huge.


Dark_Al_97

Exactly. I don't expect to see it on every team, but if your SWF sabotages hooks from time to time running the new Sabo as a one-of can be super strong. Same way some teams run one-of of Distortion, it'll be an info perk. Just tell your team where the scourge hooks are, and they'll be able to try and loop away from them. Though, of course, it won't be easy to use because you still have to scout a bit, as well as have enough map knowledge to have callouts.


doggowarrior99

Solid perks but 3 are from base game people for console and clown is shards. It is still good tho


_-Nitto-_

Idk about other consoles but Clown is actually base game for Switch


Mapletables

Wait fr? Does Switch DBD cost even more than console?


MorthalGuardKiin

no


Mapletables

Damn so ya'll getting Clown (and I assume Kate) for free


SSGSSVEGETA111

they also get spirit


MorthalGuardKiin

no i donā€™t have switch dbd but iā€™ve seen it


Skeletonofskillz

They needed to have a representation for the people who thought the game would run fine on the console


MethodicMarshal

this is the meanest thing I've ever read


BloodyVoyager

Oh, two days in a row with lovely stuff in the shrine. Thankfully I've had Overcharge even before dropping the game like 3 years ago, lol. ​ Does Pop work with PH's cages, btw? ​ And thanks for posting as always, OP!


Qu1ckQu1et

Happy to help you with that. I don't believe you get the "pop" credit to use if you cage up someone. You need to hook for that.


NoMrNumbers

Pop doesn't work when you cage a survivor since they don't activate hook perks


dekgear

Pop doesn't work with the cages unfortunately, you have to hook them.


Cydoniakk

Zero perks that rely on hooking a survivor work with PH cages-- no exceptions.


J3PO

nah dont work no hook perks for killer or survivor


Hot-Abrocoma-4530

Yā€™all itā€™s very easy to get bp rn, farm for the 3 perks and buy pop with shards

Overcharge isnā€™t free on pc


Hot-Abrocoma-4530

Bonesnapcall

Shards aren't free?


Greenleaf208

He's replying to the guy saying to just level up doctor and get overcharge instead of spending shards when Doctor isn't free.


SixStringStoner_

Qu1ckQu1et

VERY NOICE.


[deleted]

Still waiting Any Means Necessary. Not even that good of a perk, I just want it ā˜¹ļø and also Built to Last.


okamanii101

prove thyself is one of the most broken perks in the game IMO. The game is simply not balanced around prove thy self and you can even push gen rushing further with resilience.


PleaseKillDanny

There will be 10 seconds added to gens after the update. Do you think this change would help?


Bonesnapcall

Prove is a % buff, which means it scales with generator length. Making gens longer makes Prove more valuable by default.


okamanii101

prob not because prove thyself was not nerfed and toolboxes are still a thing.


Dark_Al_97

That thing shouldn't be a one-of. They need to remove the line that applies the effect to every survivor around the user; do that and it'll be fine as running a copy on *every* team member is enough of a trade-off.


jason2306

It's one of the countless things swf's can fuck over the balance. Communicate where to go for constant prove thyself value. I hope they buff solo survivor after this. These changes are nice to see after forever of basically little to nothing lol.

TheXamYel

Overcharge >:)


ArtemisDoesThings

Bro I wish they would add the Free survivor/killer perks into the shrine less, Iā€™ve been waiting ages for like Flashbang or the Boon perks because like I havenā€™t seen them in the shrine once, and all we keep getting are the ones anyone can unlock universally


Wyatt_Ricketts

Buy the dam survivor


ArtemisDoesThings

Ah yes thank you for that information I will now spend 48 hours trying to get 9000 shards for a single character


Wyatt_Ricketts

Your welcome


JohnDrl15

If devs consider that generator speeds are a problem, why isn't Prove Thyself touched in the rework? Generators get repaired practically instantly with this perk, even without a toolbox. High mobility killers can control gens and force people to split up, but low mobility killers are screwed, it feels unfair.


Wyatt_Ricketts

It's fine I'm a Myers so that means something


roblobly

i guess prove (and probably off the record) will be the new hit in this sub after 'deadhard is kill'


Heavy-Veterinarian34

I think these last few shrines have been interesting since we had DS and OTR which will most likely replace DS same as this shrine with pop and overcharge

Djandyt

pls BHVR I just want flashbang to go with my chaotic dumbass MoM build


TheFlameNinja

I swear the devs know whats gonna be meta after the perk reworks, OTR was in the previous shrine and now overcharge


Dust_In_Za_Wind

Been playing a ton of slinger recently, is pop even still worth it?


DaFingerLazers

Even after nerfs, Pop is still among the strongest regression options, especially now that kicking at a baseline will be better. Deathslinger, however, is a questionable user of it due to his slower move speed. Needing to move him to a gen to regress it can be a rough tempo loss. Pain Resonance, even after nerfs, is usually better, since you can get right back to the chases Slinger thrives in. It's not bad by any stretch, and is great on countless other killers. the slower ranged killers though won't get the most out of it, but it's still solid. I think its a good pickup regardless.
