    Surveillance is THE slept-on perk. It's got good value ever since the regression rework, and combining it with oppression, ruin, or pain res makes for some great information on what to pressure.

I pair it up with nemesis and pwyf with his philly and drop-leg add-on. the info it provides is perfect for ghostface as it gives him direction for where stalk. it also allows him to manually find obsession to gain speed and then combine said speed with his add-on to deliver clean instant hit before survivor make to any loop.

      @@rileyf1178 I see what you mean but I feel that it's the opposite. Before, they could just see a gen was regressing while they were doing something else like going for an unhook, tap it, then leave, and you'll think someone is on the gen making you waste time to check it out. Remember, before the gen wouldn't actually regress at all from a kick, that was something added around the same time as the tap change.
      Now, if the gen turns yellow you know that someone is actively on it and committing to it.

    • @EchoYoutube
      @EchoYoutube 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@TheScreamMachine it's not for the fact they won't regress. It's that with other perks, at 3 gens(especially with something like starstruck) he has more leeway to continue a chase because if he gets the down, survivors trying to work on another one of the 3 gens will get kicked off AND blocked just by him sending a guard on it.
      Starstruck keeps other survivors from helping off the hook longer, ruin is just genuinely good early game pressure, dead man's gives guards extreme pressure by forcing survivors to get off and block the gen, and something like maybe barbecue, gearhead, or surveillance just gives him positioning info on where to rotate or send his guards once dead man's is up.
      It's a serious problem. Idk I can't personally say it's game breaking, but it seems like the only time I've seen knights lose with something like that now is when all the survivors get toolboxes for end game. My four man SWF needed to search chests just to burst a single gen after one of us distracted him long enough, and even then we still almost were forced to get off due to a guard coming to force a dead man's block.

    • @TheScreamMachine
      @TheScreamMachine  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@EchoTH-cam So there's a bunch of good perks on this build, but they just don't synergize well together. Ruin is good for getting s bit of regression in while you chase off of gens, but gets turned off by DMS, and at that point the survivor, with nothing else to do, might do your totem since they can't work on the gen. Also without any protection on ruin it'll likely get cleansed quickly and you're not a perk down with nothing to show for it.
      While I love Starstruck, it is just a bad perk on knight since you should be getting some number of hits with your power and the guards won't down full health exposed survivors. Survivors who are exposed are going to play stealthier too, which once again might translate to cleansing a totem.
      DMS, bbq, pain res, surveil will be a much stronger surveil build for kicking off gens and getting snipes with the knight, or alternately ruin, surveil, Pentimento, and either undying or plaything will give you more passive slowdown and information.

      Maybe, but the Dredge already gets a decent amount of stealth due to nightfall, so I'm not sure how much use you'd get from the perk.
      Also, I really hate putting all my eggs in one basket if you know what I mean, since there will be games that you're just too occupied to spend a decent amount of time kicking gens. In those games, if you have 4 gen kicking perks then you're suddenly a perkless killer. This way you always have at least one solid perk that will work no matter what.

    I prefer early game aggression on dredge tbh. Im still around 60/40 win/loss on 4k's on all my games. BBQC/LethalPursuer/NowhereToHide + Personal Preference Perk. Mine is NursesCalling to keep survivors from healing further but It also depends on the team. I may swap it for lightborn if I see more than 2 flashlights. This is probably my preferential information overload build you can have on dredge. I cant count how many times I've had an automatic locker pull, at the start of the game. All it takes is one hook and your snowball potential is off the charts for back and forth brute forcing pressure. Considering your cross map speed/pressure is powerful.

Your build would for sure work and would be a fun take on surveillance. I went with oppression since it's less used than that combo, along with the fact that you'd have to spend 2 perks (ruin/undying) and you'd still have plenty of matches where both get cleansed immediately and surveillance becomes a dead perk too. I'm definitely going to come back to surveillance later in a different build though, and it might use ruin, not sure yet.

And the perk "no one left behind" needs the exit gates to be powered, so either the gens all have to be done or 3 survivors have to be dead and the hatch closed.
