The Killer Perks below gives the Deathslinger the ability to keep control of the map by slowing down the Survivors and increasing the Killer's Terror Radius to hit, hook, and collect his victims quickly. The Redeemer Add-ons, Iridescent Coin, and Warden's Key moderately increase the Killer's Speargun Reload speed and inflicts speared Survivors with the Exposed status effect.

  • Save the Best for Last (Shape Perk)
    • Killers become obsessed with one Survivor and decide to save their Obsession for last. Players will gain a max of up to eight Tokens every time they hit a Survivor other than their Obsession with a Basic Attack. Every time players hit their Obsession with a Basic Attack, the perk loses up to four Tokens, depending on Tier Level.
  • Hex: Devour Hope (Hag Perk)
    • Devour Hope gives the Killer a Token every time a Survivor is unhooked within a 24-meter radius from them. Gain a speed boost after hooking a Survivor for 10 seconds at two Tokens. Survivors are hit with the Exposed status effect at three Tokens. At the point of five Tokens, players can rigorously become murderous and kill the Survivors. Unlike Hex: Ruin, Devour Hope will require some time actually to hook the Survivors to accumulate the Tokens.
  • Monitor & Abuse (Doctor Perk)
    • The Killer's base Terror Radius is increased by eight meters. When players are outside of a Chase, their Terror Radius is reduced by 16 meters, and their Field of View is increased by up to 10 degrees (depending on Tier Level).
  • Pop Goes the Weasel (Clown Perk)
    • After hooking a Survivor, the next generator broken by the Killer is regressed instantly by up to 25 percent of its total progression, depending on Tier Level. This Killer Perk allows players to gain a bit of map control, with a strategy that drastically slows down their victims.

My big bro is my Gaming Sensei & he's had me gaming since '92! My love for writing came shortly after that, so this gig is pretty dope! I'm a nut for any & all things that have been touched with a bit of 90's nostalgia and I'm a Certified Waifu for some good Anime^-^ The Witcher, COD, Halo, Assassin's Creed and Rick and Morty are just a few of my favorite things... Dragon Ball Z, too!
