I'd like to thank content creators for making Stakeout + Hyperfocus meta

[Amplifier]

The perk combo has literally gone from "once in a blue moon" to "2 people running it every match" ever since several prominent YouTubers and Twitch Streamers made videos about the combo and how broken it is. I literally can't play any Killer with a Terror Radius unless I run Huntress' Lullaby + Unnerving Presence now because if I don't gens are done in 3 minutes with literally zero counterplay. At the very least I can bring Discordance to counter Prove Thyself; what the hell do I bring for Stakeout + Hyperfocus other than play Wraith or hope to god that my Huntress' Lullaby doesn't get found instantly?

Behaviour really need to look at Hyperfocus because Jesus Christ that perk is ruining this game. More people running this combo is going to mean more Starstruck Nurses and Alchemist Ring Blights feeling like that's the only way they can keep up. Midchapter increasing generator times my ass.

i Like the idea behind hyperfocus but as it is it's way too oppresive
We need a nerf on numbers tbh

[Peelsepuuppi]

Hyperfocus and Stake Out was such an obvious combo you didn't need content creators to point it out.

[★ Møndhirsch ★]

There will be enough Starstruck Nurses and Alchemist Ring Blights even when Behaviour nerf Hyperfocus because people love running OP stuff (doesn't matter which side).

The first sec survivors get smth useful, people start to whine immediately. Reassurance nerfed, Better than New nerfed, HF next.
I've already accepted buying new survivors only for the player models.

There will be no time, when killers aren't complaining about smth. You will always blame everything but yourself. I play killer too and I'm ok with everything.

This is so true, survivors don't have anything decent that killer mains haven't cried about until it gets nerfed to oblivion and they really won't be happy no matter what.. the devs should stop listening to them and let the survivors have SOMETHING useful.

You will make almost no use of Hyperfocus +stake out for a good amount of your games. There are killers with very small TR or who are often undetectable and it won't charge your Stake out. There are perks that can interrupt you from fixing a gen and make youlost your possible Hyper focus stack. A killer who use the hit and run tactic will regularly make you lose your stacks if you managed to get some. Even the best survivor with really good fps will regulalry miss a great skillcheck. Gear head say "hi"

[NuclearHendrix]

I've been running it since the PTB and still lose plenty of matches.

[Uly's Snug Boyhole]

This is not only meta because of content creators. Many good players new beforehand that it will work well with Stakeout. I hope they just nerf hyperfocus because Stakeout is one of my favorite perks

3K hours and you still have trouble spreading gen pressure. You should be ending chases quickly and not having any issues with that combo. I assumed you were new when i first read.

[Estellese]

Play a stealth killer, Stakeout doesn't get stacks if they can't hear your heartbeat. Use the Oblivious status effect (Same reason, no heartbeat = no stacks), or anyone who can interrupt gen progress (Doctor, Artist, Pinhead, etc).

If you make them stop touching the gen, even for one second, they lose all hyperfocus stacks. The doctor simply making you scream is enough to lose every stack you have. The perk Eruption, which I believe is meta right now, will force them to lose their hyperfocus stacks.

comedy gold
it is not even a strong combo lmao

[OldWhovian]

It's a strong combo. Not sure what the right move is. I don't want it to be nerfed into obscurity because that sucks; but I also don't like 45 second solo-gens every game. If I make a single mistake in a chase the game is over when the entire swf is using that combo. It's basically a free Brand New Part; often combined with an actual Brand New Part on a Commodious Toolbox with additional charges. Already done a 20 second gen myself as survivor; felt dirty.

[i!i!i!]

Not a strong combo but will get nerfed because people are crying again.
