Question about "The legion pin" add-on
Its description in-game:
"Hitting a survivor highlighted by killer instinct while in Feral frenzy applies the broken status effect for 60 seconds"
If I read this description, the first thing that I understand, is that whenever I apply a deep wound effect, they will also get the broken status effect at the same time.
But this is not always the case.
Sometimes they get broken in the first hit, sometimes in the second hit, and sometimes they don't get broken.
Does this add-on have a hidden cooldown or something? What am I missing?
Moreover, the description of this add-on in the official wiki differs from the in-game one. This makes me even more confused.
How does this add-on really works?

You must be using your power and hit someone who is already in deep wounds to activate the pin's effect and cancel your power (it gives them the slight movement speed boost in exchange for it). It should not activate on first hit to every single survivor hit from healthy state while you're running around because that addon would be massively broken if it worked like that,
Edit: This was technically changed since the original Legion concept in PTB when deep wounds mechanic was different than it is now and the power itself was much stronger and less punishing than it is now - while the wording in the text may seem unclear the one on the wiki is a bit more accurate
Basically the Smiley Face Pin Brown addon (Blind for 60s) is a stretch usefulness that you won't be able to see most of the time. The Defaced Smiley yellow addon is a POOR man's replacement for Sloppy Butcher Perk and shouldn't see use it because 60s Mangled isn't really worth the slot nor effort
The Legion Pin that gives 60 seconds of Broken is the only usable one to prevent instant heals including For the People Perk and Septics (If you see 4 Med kits in lobby - consider bringing it).

Edit: All of this is incorrect as of 3.4.0 update to pins and the ingame description about applying any time killer instinct is active on the target survivor (meaning anyone other than your initial frenzy hit). Thank you for the ones below who enlightened me and I went ingame to try a legion game running both green and brown pins.

So let's say I double hit a survivor while feral frenzy is activated. After the 2nd hit, the legion obviously goes into the cooldown.
Then, that survivor would be afflicted with broken status effect right?

That is how it should be working but obviously there could be a bug lately given that I haven't tested Legion Pin in a few patches now. You'll see Broken directly on their portrait at the bottom left - if it isn't working as intended then submit a bug report with recorded footage.
Example of it here in this chase

So it should be applied directly yep (it's funny because I already saw that Otz video).
Idk, maybe it's me, but sometimes in my games today I didn't apply the effect after the second hit. Maybe I'm crazy or something.
Anyways I'll test it and if it keep failing, I'll submit a bug report.

Not sure what the other person is talking about, I use this add on all the time, its my favorite add on. The first person you hit will not be broken as they are not highlighted by killer instinct, every subsequent person you hit while in FF will become broken. The issues youre referring to Ive never experienced, it has always worked and I play ALOT of Legion. My guess is youre experiencing some kind of bug? Try recording it not working.

This ^
It doesn’t work on the first survivor you hit with FF, but every subsequent survivor you hit that is highlighted by Killer Instinct

If this is how it works now then I missed that patch awhile ago and haven't noticed legions playing with Legion Pin in awhile because that is much much easier to make use of in that case
The wiki does state for Legion Pin as of 3.4.0 which is the most recent change to the addon

- Hitting a Survivor highlighted by Killer Instinct while in Feral Frenzy applies the Broken Status Effect for 60 seconds.

Yeah I cant speak to what it did before, thats 100% how it works now. Like I mentioned its my favorite add on coupled with a FF duration increase. The mangeled one works the same way and is really good too

As Legion I want people healing and not doing gens... Imo that add-on just forces survivors to do gens for those 60s and that's what I don't like about it...
