When one DBD perk becomes TOO evil…

In this video I show you how incredibly strong the buffed survivor perk "Windows of Opportunity" can be in DBD while looping. This perk is surely becoming the new meta in 2023!

I have always used Windows and think it's an amazing perk. I'm not the best looper and dealing with other team members who randomly throw pallets it's great to know my surroundings and what is available

[@CrashAshes43]

Same here. Playing solo it feels borderline necessary if not just outright useful. With the added bonus of slowly building knowledge of the maps over time? Great perk.

[@RandomInternetStranger]

I never really thought of it this way, but you're right. Windows is a good insurance perk for solo queue or making sure that you can account for lousy team-mates or in-the-moment-decisions that would add up if not for it. I never really noticed it until you pointed it out, so thanks.

[@thirstyfordoctor609]

Another thing is, that if someone is in a chase near you and drops a pallet you will see it. Which is nice on indoor maps like RPD or Midwich. You know where the killer is and probably where he could come from

[@amzy339]

@@thirstyfordoctor609 yes!! It's such a good informational perk.

Windows of Opportunity is my go to on new maps or when I was still learning the game. I still throw it on every now and then when I want to get better in chase and not focus on gens all the time. Love the videos as always.

[@spinnyboi9951]

most of my mates quit so my survivor gameplay is mostly soloQ, WoO+DH+kindred is pretty much my standard loadout with the last perk being based on what type of challenge/daily i gotta do

Its actually a decent counter to windows.

[@Justlov4]

Wow incredible chain looping. I ran windows and went to a dead zone by accident 🤣 but I am growing to love it. I didn't run it for a while because all the lit up areas overwhelmed me and I couldn't focus. Now I'm more used to it. Well done!

[@ELARM]

Loved the editing in this video. Made me laugh during the ceno game. Love you spooky, keep these bangers coming!

[@rawberryshortcake4606]

This was a really great lesson in looping in general. Windows is one of my favorite perks, tbh; I like running it with lithe, vigil, and either resilience or adrena-win.

[@Sh0wtig3r]

The DCs and the tight corners during loops. Amazing as always!

[@rogu3rag3]

amazing loops, definitely learning a thing or two from this video, thanks!

[@lollertoasterr]

This was the first perk I unlocked in game and have used it ever since. It’s so good.

[@Sigil_Firebrand]

I've only just started playing this game again after the last time, being uh, when the game was still fairly new in 2016, and I have been learning a lot from your videos (and laughing at some of the more trolly games), thank you!

[@VwSvNexus]

I have been using windows with literally every single build for the last 8 months. I don’t take it off ever, and it makes looping killers so much easier. I know the maps, but knowing 100% where I’m going to go after I get done with my current loop helps sooo much, especially when linking multiple loops together Edit: also my go to build is iron will, lightweight, windows, and prove thyself

[@mirahb.9713]

I don't plan on taking it off either and I just bought Kate 2 days ago lol

[@jaredfgc5327]

You should add wire tap to your build it makes looping easier too

[@Baby-Blue-102]

So is zanshin tactics virtually as good since its the same thing for killers last i checked?

[@moxxietheimp3822]

@@Baby-Blue-102 depends on the killer, for clown, trapper, and nurse its pretty nice, some like spirit, billy, or bubba not nearly as much

[@huntercrowe1585]

@@Baby-Blue-102 Zanshin is made for certain killers such as the ones Moxxie The Imp lists, it serves barely any use on killers like Michael Myers and Trickster.

[@MyHarpieLady]

I run Windows of Opportunity for the most part and will occasionally switch out perks for different combos: ° Lithe (or Head On for surprise stuns), Quick & Quiet, Dance with Me (or Self-Aware/Fixated for inconsistent, fast fading scratch marks), and WOO - This perk loadout is good for confusing the killer during chase; the sound/visual cue after you vault a pallet or window is hidden and your scratch marks disappear for a bit. Killers will end up looping themselves a lot of the time, lol. Highly recommend.

[@Falazure]

Loved watching this in stream. The video, like all of your videos, is excellent.

I like that you say what character has the perks and what the perk is exactly that was very cool.

[@Detectiv3Chu]

I love windows of opportunity. I use it all the time and I promise I could never loop or play as good without it. It helps so much and allows you to find hidden pallets or windows. That with lithe works like a charm

[@WolfieSilveira]

windows is just nice to have to see where to run but also to see what your team mates has already used, if you are playing alone

[@momotheokamer]

NGL I use windows a lot. 💗 With the layouts of the map always being randomly generated windows is the only way to get to the loops you need efficiently since that is the only resource you have against a killer in chase, and you run out of it quickly between 4 people even with the best loopers. Also nice to know what has been used already. It's a great perk to practice looping with as well and the killer can always counter with changing targets, defending gens and perks like bamboozle, blood favor, spirit fury, eduring, sandbagging survivor teammates lol, etc. if it is giving them troubles. Always enjoy the videos! Thanks so much for the chuckles you bring to our days! 💝💙💜

[@irregularassassin6380]

Oh yeah, if a survivor is giving me a headache as killer, I try my best to ignore them and go after someone else. Good killers try not to fall for the sunk-cost fallacy. Changing targets and defending generators is the best way to deal with strong survivors. No perks can replace good game sense. Importantly, though, that goes for Windows of Opportunity, too!

[@momotheokamer]

@@irregularassassin6380 I agree. I mostly like windows for when the resources are low or gone to help me not dead zone myself when there is nothing there. As killer I do the same as you said, I don't mindlessly focus one survivor who is obviously running me very well. That just gives them the game and gens. I switch targets, pressure gens, and try to mind game a bit; not too much as well. Many times games like these are lost because of the killer or survivors mistakes.😁

[@TheDustyPeaches]

This feels like a perk where the issue isn't the perk itself but it accentuates how the maps themselves are unbalanced.

[@irregularassassin6380]

Yep, it's a perfectly balanced perk by itself. You trade a perk slot to improve your pathing, which all players get better at over time.

[@masterreaper115]

It's probably bad to take it to the game, since your entire screen would be filled with glowing yellow pallets yaknow?

[@kevinbissinger]

and by unbalanced, you mean you can't just steamroll survivors every time?

[@masterreaper115]

@@kevinbissinger No? We would usually be talking about maps where you cant take 7 steps without another pallet being there, perma loops that are linked directly to other perma loops, large areas with no cover to be able to protect from flashlight saves and or hook spacing like old rpd where if they brought boil over there was no chance of reaching a hook but you then get flamed and reported for slugging when there is just no other choice.

[@shard135]

Honesty maps should not have randomness.Make it 1 to 3 variants of the map this way you can control tiles and nerf them / remove stuff when needed and it will still feel varied

Been using this perk for a few months now, defo one of those underrated perks! Its crack! Also running "Lucky Break" too, which is the best "hiding scratch marks" perks (used to run 'Dance with me/deception) but lucky break always comes in crutch exactly when you need it and it can be replenished with healing others.

[@Wheatbread93]

I run Deception with Lucky Break sometimes for when I'm not wounded. I also love chaining those to Bite the Bullet with a Medkit+Styptic. Killers literally go blind when you're using BtB. Take a hit, circle a corner, duck behind something and just instantly begin quietly healing. It literally works 90% of the time, the styptic is for the other 10%. I have been really evil lately and also added in Diversion for some extra fun. I usually get accused of cheating. 🤣

[@NameIsDoc]

Windows with empathy is one of the most effective way to counter eruption but that would require giving up a meta perk so nobody will do that

[@TheLethalDiva]

Thank you and exactly. Been telling people to run Bond or Empathy or just info perks in general to counter Eruption, but most people refuse to even try it. I literally never get hit by Eruption (like 4 times since it was buffed) because I tend to run info perks.

[@issabelleplayer5819]

As a killer main I believe running zanshin tactics is a super strong perk. As it may seem that it doesnt do much it can counter set pathing by wop and depending on the killer zoning is extremely easy to do.

I run Dead Hard/Windows/Deja Vu/Resilience in solo queue. Even if your team sucks you can get the tough gens done early, even quicker injured plus DH and a boost on vaults in chase.

Windows is probably the best Solo Survivor perk. Being able to see pallets and windows is not only handy to be able to go from one place to another without having to guess, but shows you how many resources you have left so you aren't running to a dead loop caused by another teammate. And if you run Open Handed? Oh boy, it gets even better.
