Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance↑ risingJolt↑ risingPop Goes the Weasel↑ risingKiller perk meta in Dead by Daylight never sits still: every gen-regression darling from Ruin to Eruption to Pop has eaten a nerf cycle, every new chapter ships three fresh killer perks that either flop or warp the meta overnight, and basekit changes (regression event limits, hook timers, anti-camp) quietly rewrite which slowdown and aura perks are even worth a slot. With the Jason chapter live on patch 10.0.2, the argument has started all over again.
This board ranks the most meta-relevant killer perks on the current patch, as voted by the community. If your favorite perk is criminally underrated here, that's what the vote buttons are for.
One vote per entry (change anytime), recency-weighted so the list tracks the current patch, minimum votes before ranking, re-tabulated live. New boards start from a clearly-labeled expert baseline until real votes take over — displayed counts only ever include player votes. No win-rate scraping, no single expert. Full methodology →
