What I run on xenomorph.

My advice on what is good and what isn't on xenomorph.

Builds I run.

I haven't experimented too much with builds but I can tell you what works best.
Most of the meta perks go really with xeno just avoid m1 focused perks.


This is the more casual build I run for pub matches and it's just really consistent and you won't get any complaints using it. (realistically you probably will still get yelled at in egc.) Monitor and abuse can be changed out for a different perk because the turrets does give info on how close you are. Good idea to swap monitor with Enduring or Agitation.


4 stack build lmao.

There isn't really any perk out there that is exceptionally good with xeno so you can make a build pretty easily. I can name a few perks that does work well with xeno's power.


Mindbreaker works super well against sprint burst when you are coming out of the tunnels and have to destroy a turret or two. It is also just really good at countering exhaustion perks and can counter windows of opportunity for 5 seconds lol.


Great for finding gens being worked on after hooking someone to use your tunnels.


16 meter terror radius in crawler mode works well but the info turrets give can be a give away of your approach.


Good perk because with how oppressive your tail attack is, most survivors will run through pallets and it's best at times to not respect pallets but don't always not respect. Some survivors will try to get the stun but it's usually pretty predictable. It takes some practice but you can see survivors through the cracks of pallets trying to get the stun so you can get a hit. If a survivor does manage to get a stun, enduring will help a lot.

Finally just avoid shadow born if you can, it doesn't do much for xeno.

Don't run these perks.

Try to avoid any m1 related perks because with the current tail successful hit cooldown you should not be using your m1 to injure or down like save the best for last and surge.

Terror radius perks generally do not work well with xeno because of his 24 meter terror radius with crawler mode. I used Ultimate weapon with xeno and it definitely works but not as well as other killers.

I had the initial thought that unrelenting may work with destroying turrets but it does not. Unrelenting does not work when you collide with an object and should be best avoided.

Corrupt can work on xeno but in general this perk will only last 30-60 seconds at best if you are good enough at xenomorph and you use cereal rations or find survivors quickly with tunnels. Take advantage of your ability to always have a good early game.

Just use Cereal Rations.

Add-Ons

It may not seem like it but this is one of xeno's best add-ons. It gives so much info that allows you to play around turrets super easily even without Emergency Helmet.
Use Cereal Rations as a mini lethal pursuer at the start of a match.

This add-on is sadly basically a must on this killer if you want to play more casually. Just all around super good and the source of most of the "turrets are too weak" complaints.

The rest of the browns are really not worth it except for the Ovomorph, which you should just go back into the tunnels to get your power back.

Every add-on not crossed I would consider worth running. I would say Emergency helmet and Kane's Helmet is a lot stronger but still usable.

I would say that every one of these add-ons are actually really good except for the fact that Emergency helmet and cereal rations is just better for the average game. I don't think I have used any of these since the ptb for xeno xd.
