Gearhead buff idea

"After hitting a survivor with a basic attack 2 times, gain a token.

When a survivor makes a Good skill check when repairing a generator, spend one token to 'track' that generator for 30 seconds. Any time a survivor is working on a tracked generator it will be highlighted with a Yellow aura."


The main problem with Gearhead is that skillchecks are random and there's no guarantee you get any value out of the perk. Sometimes a survivor will hit a skillcheck in the last 5 seconds of the perk's duration and you still won't get any value out of it because you aren't looking in that direction. With a token system, you eliminate the times when the perk activates and nobody hits skillchecks and you make sure that you have ample time to take advantage of the information when it does activate.

    That's too reliable. BHVR doesn't design reliable perks (anymore).
