When the maps of Dead by Daylight echo with the Nurse's screech, know that a survivor is not going to survive. While the Nurse is very powerful on her own, these perks will add the cherry on top that will make her everyone's worst nightmare.

The Nurse is the last of Behaviour's "starting killers" in Dead by Daylight and her unique ability that grants players a quick, short-distance teleport is viable with both experienced and new players due to the diversity of plays that can be made during a chase.

While the more experienced killers might opt for different perks, this is the perk loadout we think would best suit those who just picked her up.

Perk Loadout

Lethal Pursuer

At the start of the trial, the killer can see all of the auras of all the survivors for 7/8/9 seconds.

The Nurse can take big advantage of Lethal Pursuer due to her having all of her blinks right away, making her a very mobile and aggressive early game.

Barbecue and Chilli

Most players regardless of what killer they play add Barbecue and Chilli to their loadout. Barbecue and Chilli is the Hillbilly's perk that grants aura-reading abilities once the killer is 40 metres away from a survivor.

Distance is not an issue for the Nurse so if she were to have survivors lurking somewhere in the distance, making them her next target and locking them down should be relatively easy with Barbecue and Chilli.

Deadlock

Whenever a generator is completed, The entity blocks the Generator with the most progression for 30 seconds. The blocked Generator is revealed to the killer in white during this time.

This gives the Nurse a good idea of the positioning of the survivors and what side of the map she should pressure more. Ending the game in a 3-gen situation would be a guaranteed win for the Nurse.

No Way Out

Once the exit gates have been powered No Way Out activates and any survivor that interacts with an exit gate switch will trigger a loud noise that will notify the killer and the gates will be blocked off for 12 seconds per stack. Stacks are gained from hooking survivors.

While the Nurse is not as powerful in the endgame as Trapper, she can still make insane plays once the generators have been completed. If the Nurse played her cards right during early and mid-game, the endgame is where she locks in the victory as the survivors expose themselves by touching the exit gates.

Add-ons

The ideal add-ons for the Nurse are Fragile Wheeze (Blink attacks leave survivors mangled) and Heavy Panting (Increased lunging after 2 blinks)
