"Head On" perk is garbage. Here's why

[Tachonker]

I'm going to let killers in on a little secret regarding this perk. I have played around with this perk both as a survivor and against it as a killer. I've seen the perk be effective against killers because they respect it. Even then the range is so short that it killer has to be right in front of the locker for it go off.

Now the best way for a killer to counter this perk is to run up to a locker, mash your space bar and just open it. You will open the locker before the survivor can rush out every single time. The reason for this is because you, the killer are the host. You effectively have 0 ping while the survivor has a slight delay since they are connected to you.

Seriously killers, if you see a fat Jane run into a locker thinking shes gonna head on you, just walk up and open it. I have yet to be stunned as I get a locker grab every time.

This perk is a cool design but seriously needs a range increase or something because of the way latency works in this game, otherwise its a perk that not only does nothing but hurts you.

this perk is not working

[Igneous]

cant handle janes thiccness, calls her fat. you are not worthy

Agreed 100%, even if they get the stun Enduring negates it completely...

"effective against killers because they respect it."

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is when every killer simultaneously stopped reading.

Basement lockers would become OP.

Can confirm, it hasn't worked on me even once, this perk is just garbage.

Its actually pretty funny, I'm in mid ranks right now because of rank reset and there are plenty of killers that see me go into a locker, fear the locker, and just leave and go somewhere else. It's actually pretty funny.

Soon as killers learn that this perk can be countered simply walking up and opening the locker, then this perk is just a free locker grab for the killer. Not only that, when i get that locker grab as a killer, it 80% of the time has resulted in a disconnect, its hilarious.

One time someone tried to use it on me I just ended up grabbing them right as the animation of them leaving started.

You can grab the survivor when he jumps out of the locker... This perk is trash.

[Mr. Hampelmann]

if you wait to long in the locker its going to be deactivated

All of Jane's perks are garbage. They're all situational niches that that have easy to spot counters as well as useless abilities. Head On though is especially disappointing as being the only exhaustion perk that doesn't even give you a speed boost and makes you wait 3 seconds to even use it while being hard countered by Enduring.

Iron Maiden counter it too

[Ajax Drinker]

I'm pretty sure you can hit them before it even goes off (even with the correct conditions), unless they fixed that bug.

[Jimsalabim]

the perk is more like a meme perk in the sense that you can wait in a locker for a killer to walk by and then jump out of it as a surprise to stun him. for any other situation i refer to the above comments
