Bring back the old Tinkerer

The devs have completely neutered this once useful utility perk. It's not even worth the BP. Seriously. 0 Terror Radius when there has been Generator Progress.Aside from being HEAVILY situational. There's a little thing called the "Red Stain" and the fact that like every killer except good old Cabbage Haggage and Amanda and Freddler Fiddler are large and.. NOT hard to miss at all. You can't really use the whole "0 Terror Radius" thing to a sort of stealth advantage. like.. Even the name. What are you exactly "Tinkering" anyway. The Name and image just.. No they don't fit. I would have been WAY more ok with just even a Nerf. But a complete and total neuter. It's bad enough that both sides have their own version of Barbecue and Chili.
But now a REALLY handy dandy perk has gone the way of the Righteous Bison.

    The devs said in a stream that this perk is hard to balance with add-ons and getting more and more complicated for future chapters.

    They said the effects of old tinker will most likely have the effects tied into add-ons when they do the killer add-on rework.

    I know right? When do survivors even do gens? They should tie the perk to the survivors main objective or something.

    Even the name. What are you exactly "Tinkering" anyway. The Name and image just.. No they don't fit.

    Basically, you modified the generator to fire a signal when it reaches a certain amount of progression. Quite simple.
