Bamboozle on Bubba worth taking?

[Gopher, King of the Bat Scouts]

My Bubba perks right now are Agitation (speedy hooks and outpacing boodyblockers), Deerstalker (making sure I dont lose them) Nowhere to Hide (Just a good perk, especially on Bubba), and finally Overcharge because Jolt doesn't work with the chainsaw.

I tried Bamboozle on him before though and got barely any use out of it, what are your thoughts on it?

Depends on you. Personally, I prefer Crowd Control, but that might get booned out of existence. Bamboozle is great for Shack and T&L walls if you can fake a direction and then vault while the survivor is doubling back.

Ultimately, only you can answer this: Are windows giving you a hard time? I'm a big proponent of shoring up your weaknesses rather than adding to your strengths, so if windows are thwarting you, tack it on and try it out.

Worst that happens is you lose a couple games.

You’re gonna have a pretty hard time without it if a survivor you’re chasing takes you to tiles, shack, or some other vault heavy area. You’ll be forced to M1 at best, and from that point on you can bet you’ll be dealing with a dead hard.

Its a good perk on him since it disables one of his main weaknesses, windows, specially on shack, since it forces the survivors to either leave or use the pallet to not get downed instantly.

The same applies to Hillbilly.

Tbh the only perk bubba needs is insidious, and maybe a basement offering. With those combined he is the ultimate bastard

Usually I just ignore the shack and look for other survivors, why bother with that nightmare of game design when you got some clueless Feng on a gen?

i think the perk is extremely boring to use from both povs and devolves gameplay but it is a decent perk on him

Bamboozle is actually good on all the killers, besides ones who can hit past windows or avoid looping all together. The game is all about seconds, reducing any of those seconds by a fraction is a nudge in your favor the survivors aren't accustomed to. They're used to vaults/kicks taking a certain amount of time, changing that even slightly is enough to throw survivors off.
Same with Brutal Strength.
People poop on them because they're small percentages, but those small percents add up over time.
And a big *EYEROLL* to claiming it devolves game play while explaining in no way how it does.

This. Don't ever let anyone tell you what perks are worth it or not. Experiment!

i never thought it helped me enough, if i use it in a shack they can outlast my refill. If not they move to a pallet then back to shack then so on, if enough pallets are cleared maybe but by that time the games over. I tried it for a bit on my hillbilly but i liked a few other perks better in the end.

Kinda, I swear every time I bring it I don't need it but as soon as I take it off I regret everything...

said every survivor ever. why would you close the window we can vault 3 times, git gud

[To_Nate]

Its definitely good, but with some drawbacks. It can really help you on certain tiles if you do a little fake looking a direction before vaulting. Otherwise tho it is too slow or predictable to help you out most of the time. Even when it does help, you could have another window tile close and it really ends up doing nothing. I personally like to also run superior anatomy to really destroy window loops. With how fast you vault its almost free downs, and definitely generates a ton of value more consistently. The only real con of the combination is that its two perks. Effective, but leaves your build choices a bit limited.

There is one counter to a chainsaw and it is windows, so picking bamboozle at least for me was always good value on bubba because most tiles will have a window which you vault and force the survivor to either drop the pallet or get downed.
