Build for The Trapper

  • Help WantedHelp Wanted
  • Machine LearningMachine Learning
  • Hex: No One Escapes DeathHex: No One Escapes Death

Corrupt Intervention lets you set a couple of traps quickly, then you hold an area of the map and occasionally kick a gen to trigger Help Wanted and Machine Learning, which give stealth, haste, attack cooldown recovery and temporary gen regression. Trap very strong loops, weaker ones are too easy to outplay with these effects. Hex: No One Escapes Death can swing the endgame: remove strong pallets early, especially near the gates, and trigger your perks on the final generator.

Build for The Wraith

  • Machine LearningMachine Learning
  • Dragon’s GripDragon’s Grip
  • Lay WasteLay Waste

A build built around gen kicks: Help Wanted, Machine Learning and Lay Waste all trigger when you kick a gen. Dragon's Grip makes it risky for Survivors to go back to a gen you just kicked. To keep track of gen progress you need a perk like Tinkerer or Thrilling Tremors, or your own intuition.
