Is Hangman’s Trick still bad?

[zukene]

I don’t even have the perk unlocked but I’m just wondering from anyone who’s tried it out if BHVR made the perk worth using now

It might let you know if somebody's hanging around the scourge hook you're aiming for? But that's about it

No, its not usefull (so, yes, it's bad). If you want aura reading around hooks, you have the wesker perk which gives you essential information that will be useful close to you (even that sadako scourge perk after someone unhooked) or you use gearhead which gives you much more valuable information around gens being made.

Even undying around building with some hex perks gives you more useful information about who is around dull totems.

hangman's trick being scourge only became generic as an aura revealing perk, since it has no use in terms of the original concept of being an anti sabotage perk, and you will only be able to extract useful information with high mobility killers with this perk.

it fills a spot in the perk roster which probably never needed filling its not alone in that regard. If you're going to burn a perk slot on a very VERY slight chance of a maybe useful once in a trial, waste the slot on something better.

There are too many undertuned weak and unviable perks, add-ons and offerings in this game

SH: Hangman's Trick was an easy fix:
🔸 add +1 Scourge Hook in the Trial and increase Aura distance to 20 16 meters

There is absolutely reason to use the current SH: Hangman's Trick over any other Information Perk in the game

Perks like Predator and Hangmans Trick need a massive rework

[Truth seeker]

The perk was horrible and they nerf the perk when they made it a scourge perk. Sometime its like they dont even play their own game with decision like those.

[Tokogawa [GER]]

It is a Anti-Sabotage Perk now buffed with Scourge Hook Mechanics.
So when you dont expect Sabotage or have a SPECIFIC Scourge Hook Build its a dead Perk.
I can imagine it being okay-ish with Monstrous Shrine and those Pinhead + Artists Perks (forgot name) but thats about it

[Raft]

As a scourge hook set? hangman, monstrous shrine, gift of pain, pain resonance?

idk...

It's not worth using. The most valuable form was when it made hooks reform instantly and even that was "meh".

The hilarious thing about that form of the perk was that at one time they had planned for all hooks to spontaneously reform after enough time passed.
