  • ResilienceResilience
  • Decisive StrikeDecisive Strike

ItemMedkitMedkit

All four perks are among the six most played right now: Lithe (#1, 24.8%), Resilience (#2), Decisive Strike (#5) and Five Moves Ahead (#6). Five Moves Ahead is paired with Resilience and with Lithe in 31.6% of builds. Since 10.2.0 it only shows pallets but keeps the early start after a pallet drop, and Resilience got its tier I and II buffed (7/8/9%).

  • Deja VuDeja Vu

ItemMedkitMedkit

Dead Hard (#3, 21%) is mostly run with Resilience (37.6%) and Decisive Strike (35.3%). Since 9.5.0 Dead Hard only works after being unhooked, making it an extra health state after the hook that complements Decisive Strike. Deja Vu (#4, 20.5%) helps cover gens and prevent 3-gen situations.

Finesse (#7, 10.6%) with Lithe and Resilience is one of the most common Finesse combos: Finesse works while healthy, and Resilience takes over once injured. Windows of Opportunity is swapped for Deja Vu because it was nerfed in 10.2.0 (windows only and a cooldown).

ItemMedkitMedkit

Everything to survive after an unhook: Off the Record gives Endurance and removes aura, scratch marks and grunts for 30 to 40 s, Decisive Strike stuns for 4 s, Resurgence heals 70% on unhook and Dead Hard works after the hook. This stacks with the 10.1.0 baseline (10 s of Endurance and Elusive). Off the Record is rarely played (1.2%) but rated S-tier in 2026 guides.

ItemMedkitMedkit

Solo queue = information: Kindred shows who goes for the hook (and the killer within 16 m), Deja Vu the gens to prioritise, Dark Sense (10.2.0 buff) reveals killer, survivors, pallets and windows for 15 s when he approaches after each gen. Sprint Burst wins the first chase. Anti-tunnel variant (bot-lobbies): Off the Record + DS + Sprint Burst + Kindred.

ItemToolboxToolbox

Recommended gen build for 10.2.1: Deja Vu (3 close gens, +6%), Prove Thyself (up to +30% in groups), Resilience (+9% injured), Adrenaline for endgame. The old Hyperfocus + Stake Out combo died in 10.2.0 (Stake Out special checks no longer trigger other perks). Different effects = no diminishing-returns penalty.

ItemFlashlightFlashlight

Seine's post-10.2.0 'new meta chase build': Dark Sense shows pallets/windows within 32 m and the killer as he approaches after a gen (take chase off teammates), reworked Spine Chill (+10% vault speed for 12 s when the killer looks at you), Five Moves Ahead for pallets, Lithe as exhaustion.

Budget

Within reach without unlocking anything rare: base perks and add-ons.

ItemMedkitMedkit

Build made only of general perks, with no DLC. All four were buffed or reworked in 10.2.0: Kindred shows the killer's aura at 14/15/16 m, We'll Make It lasts 70/80/90 s, Resilience gives 7/8/9%, and Dark Sense shows pallets, windows, survivors and the killer after each gen. At tier I they are already close to tier III.

ItemToolboxToolbox

Base-survivor perks (Dwight, Jake) and general perks, described in 2026 as a basic free build that does the job. Iron Will (#8, 9.8%) and Prove Thyself (#20) are still heavily played. Kindred and We'll Make It were buffed in 10.2.0.

Beginner build, general perks only (unlockable on any survivor): BHVR redesigned Dark Sense to teach maps and pallet spawns, Kindred teaches hook reads, Decisive Strike ('Will to Live', general since 9.4.0) protects from tunnelling, Resilience helps everywhere once injured.

ItemFlashlightFlashlight

Vanish build: Ghost Notes fades scratch marks 50% faster while Exhausted and speeds exhaustion recovery, Lightweight shortens them further and Vigil (nerfed in 10.1.0 to 10.1.2: +20/25/30% recovery, Exhausted only) shortens the Sprint Burst wait a little (2 s Haste since 10.1.0). Fun and good against scratch-mark trackers, weak vs tunnelling.

ItemFlashlightFlashlight

Save build: Background Player to arrive during the pickup, Champion of Light + flashlight, Bond to track chases, Flashbang as backup. Background Player (3.4%) and Flashbang (2.6%) are still the most-used save perks.

The healing build 10.2.0 created: Better Than New tripled (40/45/50%), Empathic Connection 30/35/40%, We'll Make It 70/80/90 s, Resurgence grants progress (no diminishing returns). Note: WMI and Empathic Connection share the same stat, so the weaker counts at 50%.
