Using "Saboteur" efficiently and smartly

[Frency]

Hello guys, and thanks in advance for the time you are dedicating at reading this. :)

In few words, I wanted to know your opinion about how to use the perk "Saboteur" in an efficient way. I can't seem to find one because it's way too slow for me, plus the hooks return after 3 minutes (and 30 seconds), and if I sabotage the hooks, I don't do the generators, so... i kinda don't know how to use it or, at least, i still haven't figured out how to use it properly.

Well... there you go!

After the nerf that it had (it used to be meta) , sabotaging hooks is the equivalent of standing idle.

The only real use for sabotage is if you play with your friends and then sabotage hooks to 99% and then if one gets downed you run to the hook the killer is trying to hook your friend on and sabotage it so the killer isn't able to hook your friend and he can wiggle free.

sabotaging hooks is a whole another story. saboteur on the other still used to be useful after the nerf to sabotaged hooks because you still needed to use a toolbox with it because 50% speed was too slow, it worked like self care and would increase efficiency of a toolbox being used to sabotage. now it doesn't increase efficiency but adds 10/20/30 seconds extra time for sabotaged hooks to respawn (respawn time is 2 min something) but now you still need to use a toolbox to make it faster and it will not help the toolbox last.

Thanks, guys.

Nope, I saved my entire team with breaking hooks by creating "safe zones". To OP, if you are doing saboteur, make sure to bring toolbox.

What you do is, locate all hooks in a relative corner of the map, usually its 3-5. Get each to 99% and then rush through and break them all. Usually, killer will run to you and you can, after breaking them all, t-bag the killer to make em chase you and run to the corner of the map. When you get downed and killer picks you up, they are gonna see no hooks. This strat will buy a lot of time for your allies if the killer commits. A huntress with Iron Grasp and Agitation failed 5 times in getting me to the hook, resulting in my 2 other allies finishing the gens and escaping. A Pig just camped me for the last 3 gens, allowing my allies to win. *This strat is amazing on the "divided" maps like asrov's.*

You could also sabotage EVERY hook to 99% and follow the killer around when they are chasing. When they catch ally, watch where killer will go and break the hook. I prevented the killer from hooking so many people doing this, harder to do when killer has agitation.

Doesn't just work on dumb killers. What happens on Asrov's where the map has a narrow divider between the two sides if one side has no hooks? What if all survivors run to the side with no hooks whenever the killer chases them? Not hooked is what I'm telling ya. This strat is very powerful if your allies take the initiative to doing gennies when you do this strat. Many killer out of principal will go out of their way to make sure you die, giving your allies win. I as killer would make sure that anyone doing this strat dies.

and what's vc? Izzat voice chat? I don't play with others, only solo.

Wow, that quote broke...

Just use a Toolbox with it. If you don't it is about as useful as Sole Survivor.
