Is Lightweight worth using or worthless?

It depends on your build. I've learned that using LW with Iron will is incredibly good for losing the killer during a chase. Stealth wise, it's really good.

Use any perk that you feel is best.

It helps with getting out of a chase and easily losing the killer.
Iron Will helps a great ton with it and makes a good stealth build.

Worthless. I tested it in several builds and it makes next to no difference.
I even found a vid on it:

If you really want a perk that makes a difference, run kindred. Got nothing to do with scratch marks, but it's so underrated it hurts. Should be the new meta for solos, srsly.

That's what I was wondering. Does the effect really work as intended. I love Iron Will as others have suggested, and I've been running LW lately, but I'm just not so sure how much it even helps.

In my personal opinion its not even worth half a perk slot. It's useless in chase and that few seconds less visibility only help if you're on the other side of the map with plenty of space between you and the killer, so he won't suspect anything by getting there. But in that case, why the heck would you care about scratch marks at all?
People who think they can juke a killer with this also run iron will and this tells you everything you need to know about this "awesome" stealth perk.

Someone on this forum will certainly swear to God they find it useful but for me it's a waste of a perk slot. Use it if you got nothing else on that character, still better than nothing.

I have basically all the perks unlocked for my main, so I certainly have other options. I switch my builds up pretty frequently anyways, but it loss like it's definitely time to make a swap.

Not useless but not the best.

Worthless.
Instead DEVs should release a survivor perk that has opposite effect of Predator, to make scratch mark spread more. It would be much more useful.

I find using Lightweight to be pretty good with Quick and Quiet, Dance With Me, and Lithe.

Quick and Quiet was what I was going to swap it with and see how that goes.

*Be me as Myers*

*Chase 1 survivor around The Game Map for 1 minute because you can solely follow their scratch marks without actually seeing them.*

*Down and hook that survivor.*

*Find another survivor while I'm hooking the first one*

*That first survivor goes behind a wall and they leave no scratchmarks behind because of Lightweight*

*I completely lose track of where that person ran off to*

People consider the perk underrated because they don't see it's effectiveness, but when you're a killer and you can compare someone with lightweight to someone without, then you realize just how good it can be, especially when combined with other perks that mess with scratch marks. Plus, a pallet stun and going behind a wall is long enough to make your scratch marks vanish.
