Up The Ante - rework

Speaking of passive perks, I can't think of anything more passive than Up The Ante. You equip it and it just sorta exists? So here's a loose idea to make it more interactive.


Up The Ante

Each time you perform a Safe Hook Rescue, complete a Healing action on other Survivors, complete a Generator, cleanse a Totem, complete a Chest Search, complete a Sabotage action, escape from a Chase and stun a Killer using Pallet or a Locker, You gain a Token up to a maximum of 30 Tokens.

Each Token grants 1/2/3% Luck Bonus.

Each time You gain a Token, current total Luck Bonus is also granted to all Survivors within 8 metres.

Survivors can only be affected by one and the highest Up The Ante effect at a time.

    There's plenty of passive perks. The problem with Up the Ante is that luck is pretty useless in most situations.

    Honestly it would be more of a gamble if you got increased effects as survivors die rather than starting out with the maximum effects.

    Either way, it should definitely do something other than increasing luck.

    I don't if you can even get 30 stacks and why wouldn't I use deliverance if I get luck bonus when safe unhooking

    @Yung_Slug @Brucecastro81

    I agree with both of You that Luck is not useful. It affects:

    • Unhooking chances (just use Deliverance)
    • Chest Search results (just use Plunderer's)
    • Freeing Yourself from Bear Trap (just use Slippery Meat... oh wait, please don't)

    Edit: I checked wiki for any more uses and apparently it doesn't even affect Chest Searches, yay.

    Still, I wanted the perk to be more interactive and reward You for completing objectives in a Trial. Getting 30% in the endgame is pretty pointless though, surely at this time You've been hooked at least once so no unhooking for You.

    At least this discussion rn got me thinking of possible Luck mechanic reworks.

    The up the ante rework idea looks great, but needs some changes
