Déjà Vu isn’t a perfect perk, but it is one that can be incredibly useful.
If you find yourself struggling to locate generators, or just want an efficient way to locate multiple generators at once, Déjà Vu is worth trying out.
Because the perk displays three generators at once, you’ll have a solid heading right from the start of the game. Just keep in mind that the generators revealed by Déjà Vu might be quite a distance away!
What Does Déjà Vu Do?

The Déjà Vu perk keeps you from having to search too long for a generator, as it shows you the auras of three generators right from the beginning of the match.
Those generators will be the ones on the map that are closest to each other.
The benefit here is that you’ll be able to move from one generator to the next more easily.
As you improve this perk, you’ll gain more time to actually make it to the generators shown.
When fully upgraded, Déjà Vu will last for an entire minute.
On top of finding generators more easily, you’ll also get a speed boost when it comes to repairing those generators. While repairing other generators will progress at the typical speed, generators shown by Déjà Vu will give you a 5% repairing speed boost.
Using Déjà Vu with a Map
Haddie uses the map to locate generators, totems, and hooks.
When you pair up the Déjà Vu perk with a map, you’ll get even more benefits.
The generators located by Déjà Vu will be automatically added to your map, allowing you to find them later on and even display their location to other survivors.
Because of that, survivors who may be closer to those generators than you will have the opportunity to find them quickly and get to work!
Downfalls of the Déjà Vu Perk
Déjà Vu is a solid perk overall, but it does have one important downfall.
The generators that are displayed by the perk are guaranteed to be relatively close to one another, but they may not be close to you.
In some cases, you might find that the generator auras are on the other side of the map compared to where you spawned.
In other words: you may end up in a race to reach those generators before the perk runs out.
Meanwhile, you might be passing up generators closer to you that you could be working on.
To offset this issue, it’s a good idea to either bring a map or try to remember the general location of the Déjà Vu generators if they are far from your spawn point.
How To Obtain Déjà Vu

Déjà Vu is a general perk, which means that whether or not your character can obtain it is entirely up to luck.
General perks like this one can show up in any character’s bloodweb at any time. There are no level requirements, and you won’t need to spend anything other than bloodpoints to get it.
Just keep your eyes peeled and there’s a decent chance it will show up in the bloodweb sooner or later!
