Reward Adept Builds with Tier IV (pink) perks

Now obviously only the player who first enters the game and equips a survivor and their survivor’s adept build, can have access to it for that match. 

For example, you are running adept Jake, and join a lobby, you are the first Jake to join the game and you have the adept build equipped. Anyone that tries to equppied adept Jake while you still have the adept build active, will not receive the benefits, and are therefore encouraged to run another adept survivor, or they can run their own custom build with survivor of choice with only perks going up to Tier III, so exactly as it is now. 

Wanted to get that balance concern out of the way, onto the main topic. 

I think further enhancing perks if they are in their respective ‘Adept’ set with the killer or survivor that they were originally intended for, could bring a really cool class based style of play into the game. 

Stuff like predator showing footprints instead of scratch marks, and surveillance permenantly showing the aura’s of the last three gens kicked, and fading back to red when no longer regressing. Save The Best For Last gaining two tokens on survivor hit, etc. 

Of course its completely optional, as a custom build will still be equally as effective since adept builds only consist of three perks, and that fourth perk slot really makes a big difference. 

I think it would be cool especially to run adept killers, and really hone your skill with the intended play style of that killer by learning their greatest strengths in a way that is fun.
