Repairing the Generators is the primary goal of the Survivors inDead by Daylight, and the speed at which they do it is of crucial importance. If they’re too slow, they allow the Killer enough time to hunt them down, rendering their whole effort moot.
Thus, there came to be theGen Rushstrategy, whereby the Survivors rush Generators and complete them as fast as possible, leaving not a single second for the Killer to get to them in time. While seemingly difficult to create, Gen Rush builds are rather simple, so here’s our recommendation for the Best Gen Rush build inDBD.

Gen Rush, as the name implies, relies solely on your ability to repair Generators quickly and effectively. The first part of the equation is solved via proper Perk selection, whereas your efficacy is determined by your skill level and depends heavily on whether you’re solo or with a premade Survivor team.
Free (No Prestige) Gen Rush build
As for the Perks, you will need to Prestige a couple of Survivors to acquire them. But before we get into the Ultimate Gen Rush build, here’s one you can use for free without having to purchase any Survivors or get them to a Prestige level (it requires you to pickDwight Fairfield):
With this free build, you’ll have up to a45-percenttotal buff to repair speed, allowing you to storm Generators like there’s no tomorrow. But Dwight’sProve Thyself Perksignificantly depends on your teammates, so it’s best used while in a party that knows what it’s doing and sticks together no matter what. Otherwise, your best course of action would be to follow other Survivors and always ensure there are at least some of them around you.
Prestige Perk Gen Rush build
If you do happen to have PrestigedHaddie Kaur,David Tapp, andJonah Vasquez, you’re able to also create the following Gen Rush Build:
If you have a full team of strong Survivor mates, switching Stake Out for Prove Thyself, Déjà Vu, or Resilience is a great idea. In fact, I think you should put Prove Thyself in there at any rate, if you are confident that you can maneuver your teammates into following you or stick close to them enough to nudge them toward Generators.
In total, without any of the free build Perks, you’ll have a near-constant 20 percent buff and almost always land great skill checks. With Prove Thyself, you’ll have up to 50 percent, which should enable your Generator rushing and certainly make the Killer really, really angry.
