can the killer know you have decisive strike?

[darkfeature.]

i mean like is there a perk or something? whenever i use decisive strike perk after i get unhook and get caught a little bit time after even though i did my best to escape (its not like i tried to get hit) they just dont pick me up. is there a perk for the killers to know it or smh i am literally mad rn.

[Gweenie]

Nah its a guessing game

Decisive Strike is a VERY common perk so most killers expect it on every single survivor.
Additionally when a survivor has DS it will mark someone as the obsession, if the killer has no obsession perks its a pretty dead give away that one of you have it.

If there is an obsession in the match, and the killer is not using an obsession perk, they know there's a VERY high chance that at least one person has DS, but they don't know exactly who. Killers will often slug you if they down you soon after you've been unhooked, in order to avoid DS.

There a few ways to guess (let's assume I'm the killer) but not know:
1) If I don't being in an obsession perk and someone is marked as the obsession, they probably have DS.
2) If they go into lockers or t-bag you into downing them when they're not the obsession they probably have DS.
3) Going off of point 1 if one survivor has DS I have to assume its fair that the other three might have it as well so I won't take that chance.

I treat every survive as if they are using DS. It's a meta perk and usually I guess right almost everyone runs it. Hiding in a locker with ds needs fixed though because they can still for up to a minute with zero repercussions. You pull them out you get ds. You don't and wait outside they burn gens. It's a lose lose. Esecape is guaranteed because killer has to leave, lose gens, or get DS.

Try unbreakable or tenacity if you are getting slugged a lot. I get more use out of tenacity tbh but both are good if you are slugged.

[Cujo]

Unbreakable + DS is such a powerful build and so many people run it that I always expect it as killer. And I'm almost always right. I usually eat it anyway but I have slugged a few before when they would absolutely ruin my steamroll i.e next to a hooked and downed survivor.

[Undying Zombie]

Its a very common perk, same thing with unbreakable. If the killer sees that someone is obsession in the match, more so if they do not have obsession perks. ( They being killer ) Then they know DS is on the table and odds are unbreakable as well...

Most killers tend to treat everyone as having these perks unless there is no obsession. Of course no obsession means no DS.

[Unholy Witch]

No. So I usually either wait out the DS by slugging or just decide to eat it and if they use it then it's tunnel time. Depends on the game and the survivors.

1 obsession=everyone ds
Survivor uses skill vs you=no ds

[Marmorkatze]

If you find a freshly unhooked survivor and they jump right into a locker, chances are, they want to use their DS. Take the gamble, wait it out or walk away.

[Ackranome]

Yes - if they have no obession perk and you are obession and not running OOO.

[Simple Tora]

Really says something when everyone knows that Killers basically assumes EVERYONE has DS and is basically forced to play around a perk that may or may not be there completely changing how they play and what they do but somehow Ruin was bad enough to get changed and DS isn't worth touching lol

[Tresh]

Short answer: Kinda
Slightly less short answer: I usually expect it if there is an obsession, even when I'm running an obsession perk. And not knowing who it is, I assume it's all of them until proven otherwise.
