The build

These four perks work together as a info survivor setup. Each slot has a job; together they form a closed loop.

Why it works

Kindred is the backbone of the team - it tells you where everyone is when someone is hooked. Eyes of Belmont (Trevor Belmont) reveals the Killer's aura for 2/3/4 seconds when you complete a generator, perfect for planning the next move. Open-Handed (Ace Visconti) increases the range of your aura-reading perks by 16/20/24 meters - stack this with Kindred and Eyes of Belmont for huge windows. Empathy (Claudette Morel) reveals injured or dying Survivors within 64/96/128 meters, so you always know who needs help. This build is information overload, which makes decision-making trivial.

Patch notes

Targeted at patch 10.0.0 (released 16 June 2026). The Slasher (Jason Voorhees) and his three launch perks appear in this build. We refresh this page after every major balance patch - if a perk has been nerfed or buffed since 10.0.0, the "Why it works" section is the first place we update.
