DbD Perks: Habits Over Meta
Info and exhaustion first. The wiki page will be wrong next patch; the job will not.
Survivor
Info (where is the killer) and exhaustion (extend a chase). Healing and unhook perks if you are the unhooker. Do not copy a 4-perk YouTube page from last season without knowing the job.
Killer
Slowdown and info. Aura after a hook, gen regression. Tunneling perks teach a habit you may not want as your only plan.
Prestige and DLC
Perks unlock over time. Base roster is enough. You do not need every licensed chapter to hit a loop.
Patch notes
Meta perk pages change every patch; habits do not. Split gens still win.
Offerings
Map offerings are a vote. Play the realm you get. MacMillan still teaches more than a forced indoor maze on day one.
