The Unknown
An anomaly impossible to categorise, made of bodies and fears; no one knows what it is or where it came from.
Builds updated on .
How to use these builds
Builds 1, 4 and 5 are for public matches: more relaxed games to have fun, practise and learn.
Build 2 is for tournaments: a general competitive recommendation. Check each tournament’s bans before using it.
Build 3 is for new players: it uses the killer’s own perks, perks from the five free killers or general perks, without needing every killer at prestige 3.
