Is Urban Evasion actually a good perk?

[Zeno]

It really is like normal walking but crouching, you don't seem that much smaller, crouched compared to standing is it really a viabl perk to use?>

[Sada Thwong]

its good if you wanna be stealthy and evade the killer

[Incariuz]

It's situational. A lot of the time you don't need it, but... It can helps loads for stealth around smaller obstacles.

[CryonicSuspension]

It's great. Add in camouflaged clothing and the killer will walk right past you.

Everyone hates urban evaders, both killer and your team mates.

Urban evaders dont contribute as much cuz they crab walk from objective to another and usually hide as soon as they hear terror radious even when they are working on safe gen.

And if they are found they are downed in 10 seconds as usually they dont plan their escape route cuz they rely on not getting found so they run like headless chicken.

Urban Evasion is actually one of the best perk in the game. If not the best. It's always useful, in every situation. It hard counters Hag, makes Spirit's life really miserable, and makes Freddy feel bad. It's also a great way to Juke, which is the best strategy against Nurse.

People who don't see the power of Urban Evasion are just sorry loopers who don't understand the finer points of this game.

Has helped me numerous times

Pretty good if you prefer to play more steathily, plus it helps go against Hag, since you can't trigger her traps while crouching, so the increased speed from Urban helps with getting past them.

Stealth players know how incredible it is, 50/50 players and killer players know how great a perk it is, ask looping survivors mains and they will tell you it's bad cuz stealth is dead.

[Y'hate T'see It]

Against Hag it's one of the best. But I don't run it in my stealth build:

Iron Will
Lightweight
Self Care
Balanced/Lithe

UE would probably be better than SC in a 4-man SWF tho

[Mochan]

There are lots of nice perks for stealth builds, so you really need to choose the best one for your playstyle. It's a must for me and I like how it gives me a huge edge against Hag, but I have removed it every now and then to chagne things up.

It just annoys me that when I take it out I usually then go up against Hag. LOL.

It is very good for loosing the killer or not being found in the first place.
Sadly that just leaves the small problem: not being found is good for you, but "bad" for your team, because the 10-20 seconds lost, by looking for you, could have been 1-2 minutes spent running in circles around wooden objects.
People who say that Urban Evasion players do not contribute anything to the team however, often sound like players who run flashlight clicking into the killer, while using Object of Obsession, then complain that stealth is dead.

There is healthy middle ground between crab people and OoO DS flashlight fkboys.

If you are in safe area and you decide to hide instead of taking aggro you screw your team over.

Among stealth players there are scrubs and there are those who know what they're doing. Scrubs crabwalk as you put it at the edges of the map the entire game. Stealth players who know what they are doing are running from objective to objective and sneak when necessary. Knowing when to sneak and when to move fast is part of the skill needed to be a good player.

[Mochan]

I will let a dedicated looper waste the killer's time for 2 minutes, I'll just juke and stealth and head to the nearest gen so he can find someone to play tag with. I'm not specced for looping and I'm still studying all the looping options, I'm bad at it.

Loopers dont contribute as much cuz they run from pallet to another and usually dc as soon as they are downed even when others are working on gens.

And they are found in 10 seconds as usually they don't plan on hiding cuz they rely on running in circles so they run like headless chicken.
