Perk Updates

Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance

• You start the Trial with 4 tokens. The first time each Survivor is hooked on a scourge hook, lose 1 token and the generator with the most progress explodes, instantly losing 11/13/15% progress, and will start to regress. Once you have no tokens, Pain Resonance deactivates for the rest of the Trial.

• Gearhead

• After a survivor loses a health state by any means, Gearhead activates for 30 seconds. While Gearhead is active, the every time a Survivor performs a good Skill Check while repairing, their aura is revealed to you for 6/7/8 seconds.

• Boon: Circle of Healing

• Any Survivors within the Boon Totem’s range gain a 40/45/50% healing speed bonus to healing others. Medkits do not stack with Boon CoH. Injured Survivors have their auras revealed to all other Survivors when inside the Boon Totem’s range.

• Dead Hard

• Dead hard activates after you have unhooked a Survivor safely or unhooked yourself. Press the Active Ability button 1 while running to gain the Endurance status effect for the next 0.5 seconds. Causes the Exhausted Status Effect for 60/50/40 seconds. Dead Hard then deactivates.

• Overzealous

• After cleansing or blessing any totem, this perk activates. Your generator repair speed is increased by 8%/9%/10%. This bonus is doubled if you cleanse/bless a Hex totem. This Perk deactivates when you lose a health state by any means.

• Call of Brine

• After kicking a generator this perk becomes active for 60 seconds. The generator regresses at 115%/120%/125% of the normal regression speed and you can see its aura in yellow. Each time a Survivor completes a good Skill Check on a generator affected by this perk, you receive a loud noise notification.

• Overcharge

• Overcharge a generator by performing the Damage Generator action. The next survivor interacting with that generator is faced with a difficult Skill Check. Failing the Skill Check results in an additional 2%/3%/4% loss of progress. Succeeding the Skill Check grants no progress but prevents the generator explosion. After Overcharge is applied to a generator, its regression speed increases from 85% of normal to 130% of normal over the next 30 seconds.

Bloodweb Improvements

You asked for it for a long time, and it's finally here: using the Bloodweb has been made much simpler!

• By default, nodes can now be claimed by pressing on them rather than holding. If you want to revert to the old behaviour, a setting in the Accessibility tab allows you to toggle between Press and Hold behaviour.

• Hovering the cursor over any node in the Bloodweb that is not currently purchaseable shows a red outline of a path of nodes leading up to it and displays the total Bloodpoints needed to buy all those nodes.

• Pressing/holding on any such node automatically purchases all the nodes one-by-one on the hovered path. This may not complete if purchasing all nodes becomes limited by your Bloodpoint total or the Entity consuming nodes on the way.

• After reaching Prestige 1 with a character, the Bloodweb for that character will contain a new center node. Pressing/holding on it will automatically claim as much as possible of the whole Bloodweb level. The automation will prioritize Perks first and attempt to spend the minimum amount of Bloodpoints second. This will stop if you run out of Bloodpoints, but will continue with Entity consuming nodes.

Misc

• Cinematic video files are now stored in Bink format.

• Heartbeat Visual Support: Displays a visual indicator for Survivors being affected by a Terror Radius or a Lullaby. Can be toggled ON/OFF in the Accessibility tab of the Settings.

• Bots are less likely to drop a pallet while standing still on the same side as the Killer.

• Bots no longer slow down while traversing the area of a Skull Merchant's Drone if inside the Terror Radius.

• Bots are less likely to run into a Killer while attempting to evade them.

Gameplay

Known Issues
