Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

I think most people can agree that protection hits are a bit too niche and survivor controlled to really make for an interesting killer perk but how about a small change to open up more uses for it without changing the premise too much.


The simple change would be setting a radius around the hit survivor where if multiple survivors are in it that's all it takes to activate. It would expand its active time by a lot, allow perk synergies like discordance to build a killer strategy around, and it would make it's quirky little side thing of working outside of basic attacks have more impact to its play. Cross map hatchet at a discordance gen? Broken survivor when you get there, someone bodyblocking while carrying, broken, stealthy killer sneaking up on people, break one and chase the other. There's just a lot more scenarios where this perk could shine with that small change. It would also turn the restriction into something useful in its own right as a soft info perk that could warn you someone is nearby waiting for the flashlight save. Having a restriction actually have a side use is a lot more interesting than just a restriction.
