Research notes
I threw out one description before it reached this page. A competing list says Grab My Hand restores 30 to 50 percent health. The perk text quoted from the Fandom is a healing-speed boost after an unhook, +75% for 45, 60, or 75 seconds, not a flat heal. That is the kind of error that makes a “best perks” page worse than no page. Flowstate is a fast vault, +20%, on a 50 to 70 second cooldown. Heads Up reveals the killer inside 50 studs and grants 10, 15, or 20% speed for 3 seconds, then Winded for 40 seconds.
The names, with the effect I can cite
Tiers change the number. The pattern is yellow / green / red.
- Flowstate: fast vault +20%, cooldown 50–70 seconds.
- Heads Up: killer aura inside 50 studs, then +10/15/20% speed for 3 seconds, Winded 40 seconds.
- Second Wind: Endurance for 15/20/25 seconds after you are unhooked.
- Grab My Hand: healing +75% for 45/60/75 seconds after you unhook someone. Not a flat heal.
- Group Project: everyone on your generator repairs +3/5/7%.
- Eyes of Heaven: pallets and windows revealed at 80/90/100 studs.
- Perfect Landing: after a drop, 75% faster recovery and +40% speed for 3 seconds, then Winded 50–60 seconds.
- Quick Recovery: fast vault and +40% speed for 3 seconds, then Winded 60–70 seconds.
- No Pain No Gain: you stay injured, can recover from dying, leave no blood pools, and gain +20/25/30% self-recovery speed. This is not ordinary healing speed.
- Built Different: Endurance 6/7/8 seconds after leaving dying, and one self-pickup per match.
A first loadout
If those slots are available, compare Built Different, Eyes of Heaven and Grab My Hand with a Bandage: self-pickup, route information and post-rescue healing. For looping, compare Flowstate and a warning perk such as Heads Up. Perfect Landing and Quick Recovery share a Winded restriction, so do not expect both speed bursts to stack. These are editorial examples, not tested best builds; check the current equip menu.
