A lot of people who overpaid for Stranger Things codes are REALLY SALTY right now. Several of them in Otz's chat. I mean... I can understand it kind of, but nobody forced you to pay insane amounts for it.

"Initially the perks will return to Stranger Things Perks with the original flavour text and icons, but will remain General Perks for now. In a later patch, they will return to being Character specific Perks and only be unlockable with the Prestige System or through the Shrine of Secrets, as with other character specific Perks."

Saw a leaker post this. Gonna be suck to lose access to perks you used to have. Hopefully it's just "starting with that patch, but anyone who already has them is grandfathered in"

Yeah, I understand the frustration as well, but this sort of thing happens. Just don't pay scalpers unless you're willing to look foolish later.

The vegas odds right now are high on it being Predator. It's a licensed killer with no survivor, that's all we really know.

I dunno, they kinda blatantly lost the Prey license for Skull Merchant.

They posted a FAQ on the website saying the perks will be free and open to everyone for a while, but will become locked behind the DLC purchase again at some point. Which is fair enough IMO.

Eh, just replace the Skull Merchant model with a Predator model and replace the name. Yeah this Predator likes to read dark animes and dresses in thirst trap outfits, what?

Those insisting they aren't owned won't admit that they were horribly owned and put in two expies from Prey, a claw-handed killer with the Predator's execution style absent the invisibility, and a famously ham-handed power set that was overhauled within months. :haw:

The most inspiration Skull Merchant has was making her a thirst trap as a distraction.

Surge/Jolt/Surge becoming locked behind DLC again seems like a bad idea - it was one of the only strong generic/free killer perks in the game and its absence will make the new player experience worse. BHVR doing zero work to make Hawkins work with the killers made since 2021 is very funny and on brand. How little time did they have to prepare for this?

I wondered this myself, like they couldn't officially work on anything til the contract was signed or the return was announced.

They were like "Flip the switch and give the playerbase what they want!" But I'm sure its way more stupid.

I'm struggling to see how "bringing back" the Stranger Things stuff isn't just making the game worse now if they're going to lock up those perks again.

It seems like jolt is mostly recommended for newbie basic M1 builds anyway, same with Renewal as an option for basic survivor stuff. As someone who recently started playing the general/free perk pool is already dire as hell and removing these options for simple synergy builds is not good for the game.

Anecdotal but my experience on Hawkin's return versus back when I played it in the day is that killers are far more successful this time around, and my gut feeling is that other survivors just can't handle not being able to run jungle gyms and shack for a billion years.

We'll see if/how it changes over the next few weeks!

I figured it out, Scoops Ahoy Demogorgon is such a powerful character that it will be the next killer instead of a mere skin.

This wouldn't surprise me a bit, the number of min/max loop scientists this game has created is annoying to say the least.
