MindBreaker Perk Question

Hi,

Has anyone TESTED (or has experience as a survivor) if this perk is active for as long as the survivor is fixing the generator? Not just when gen progression is under 50%?

I know they changed the text of the perk description to this:

"Any existing Exhaustion timers are paused while the Survivor is repairing a Generator.

After ending the Repair action, the Survivor is afflicted by the Exhausted Status Effect for 3/4/5 seconds."


But I just had a match where the survivor just recently fixed a gen but he was able to Dead Hard, which felt weird. I mean it could've been possible because the Exhaustion timer runs when he is vaulting over the pallet (I think) and he didn't use Dead Hard immediately so he probably had some time let his timer run. But I'm not sure about this.

I also think they didn't mention about this perk change (Exhaustion status all the time when fixing a gen) in their live patch notes (although they did mention about this in PTB notes)


Thanks!

    Players are exhausted while working on a gen until it is 50% complete. If they let go before 50% or get past the 50% mark they have to go through the short exhaustion recovery time. Since you stated he had just finished a gen, he would not have been exhausted while you were chasing him.

    I tested this with my mate today, so it indeed lasts through the generator fix.
