Keep the active time at 30 seconds, but make it much stronger so it's worth it.

Keep the gen aura reading on good skill checks the same

Added: Each time a survivor completes a GREAT skill check while repairing the killer receives a unique noise notification and the survivor who landed the skill check's aura is visible for as long as they continue repairing during the active time.

With the addition of Fast Track in the upcoming chapter we'll have two perks that greatly increase the speed of gen completion on great skill checks (Stake Out and Fast Track). By buffing Gearhead so it singles out gen jockeys it can help killers identify them and keep them off the gens.

    They should remove all these stupid luck conditions and make the perk consistent, for example:

    • Every 2 hits on a Survivor, the perk activates for 30 seconds. During this time, Survivors who are repairing generators for more than 10 seconds will have their generator highlighted
    • The perk refreshes if it's active and you hit 2 times again

    It won't be giving information 100% of the time because the condition of 10 seconds, not a strong op perk, it is consistent and Survivors can counter-play it by stoping the repair action and resuming.

    (But to avoid a "exploit" to just tap or stop repairing at the last second, if they have 8 seconds of repairing with the perk active and if they let go of the repair, it will decrease the timer for each second instead of reseting, so if he resumes the repair, the timer will go up again from where it should be)
