# Survivor perks
Perk S1
| Icon | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
 |
No name yet | You have trained your audition to distinguish what importing the most for your survival : When under chase or in the killer's terror radius : Killer's footstep sounds are 75%/100%/150% more audible and hearthbeat/chase music are 50% less audible. |
- Intended use : The idea is to give a better audio awarness to survivors.

Perk S2
| Icon | Name | Description |
|
No name yet |
• Grant a 3/6/9 % bonus to Luck • Each percent of luck you have count as token to a maximum of 25 tokens • The effects that have random chance to trigger from the survivors perks that affect you have an increased chance to happen by your number of token • The effects that have random chance to trigger from the killers perks that affect you have an reduced chance to happen by your number of token |
Some example :
Survivor perk case :
• Running this perk with 25 tokens with Tier III Technician will increase the chance to prevent the generator explosion by 75% instead of 50%.
• Running this perk with 25 tokens with Tier III Ace In The Hole will increase the chance to find a second Add-on of Uncommon Rarity or lower by 75% instead of 50%.
• Running this perk with 20 or more tokens with Tier I or II Calm Spirit will Reduces chances of alerting Crows by 100% instead of 80/90%. So the perk will works like if it was Tier III.
• Running this perk with 25 tokens with Tier III Slippery Meat will increase odds of freeing yourself from Bear Traps by 50% instead of 25%.
Killer perk case :
• Running this perk with 10 or more tokens against a killer running Tier III Unnerving Presence will change the "greater chance of triggering skillchecks" by 0% instead of 10%. So it fully counters this effect.
• Running this perk against a killer running Spies From The Shadows will decrease the chance that cawing Crows give a visual cue to the killer.
- Intended use : It's like the old Tinkerer perk but for survivors with perks. Complement for the Ace Visconti's perks based on luck.
- Extra note : The whole effect of this perk is very conceptual and has a very situational use. However the perk is still viable with other Luck based perk because of its Luck bonus.

Perk S3 - Preservation
| Icon | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Preservation | Your heal progress bar from the injured and dying state will not reset if you take hit or escape the killer's grasp |
- Intended use : Help you to get healed up more faster in the case you got hit before being fully healed. Almost an anti-slugging perk that can be combined with Unbreakable and Tenacity.

Perk S4
| Icon | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
No name yet | The isolation you find in lockers help you to forget your situation, get calm and recover. While in a locker and haven't being chased 15 seconds before : recover from Exhaustion, Hemorrhage, Mangled, Hindered and Blindness Status Effects 50/75/100 % faster, you also slowly recover from Madness Tier I and II Status Effects. |
- Intended use : Works like Vigil but only for its user and with a stronger recover. Help for the survivors using exhaustion related perks. But don't worry, it's still balanced because the survivor can't use the time in lockers to get heal and is exposed to be caught by the killer, even more if the killer use Iron Maiden. Added the ability to recover from Madness Status Effects as a continuity of the locker's propriety to stop Madness to increase when in.

You are determined to save your fellow hooked allies and put an extrem effort for it in dreadful situations. when unhooking a Survivor within the Killer's Terror Radius if you are not exhausted : unhooking animation speed is increased by 100% , you cannot be grabbed by the killer during the animation and you break into a sprint at 125 % of your normal running speed for a maximum of 3 seconds after a succesful unhook. Causes exhaustion for 60/50/40 seconds. You do not recover from Exhaustion while running. |
- Intended use : Another help like Borrowed Time to get rid of some hook standoff with the killer, you are protected against killer's grab in manner to counter facecamping. However you cannot abuse of these effects because of the Exhaustion mechanic.

Perk K3 - Hex : Excommunication
| Icon | Name | Description |
|
Hex : Excommunication |
Your hatred for your obsession curses it with a Hex totem. You become obsessed with one Survivor. All the survivors that are not the obsession suffer from this effect : • This Hex totem appears as a Dull in their view And 1/2/3 survivors that are not the obsession suffer from these effects : • They don't get any noctification from the obsession • They can't read the obsession's Aura • The obsession is hidden in their HUD The Hex effects persist as long as the related Hex Totem is standing. |
- Intended use : It's a kind of Third Seal but more extreme. It basically remove all communication between the obsession and the others survivors, making cooperation very difficult. For example the obsession can be hooked without the others survivors being noctified at all. Only the obsession can see the totem as Hex, making its cleansing by the others survivors also difficult, it's definitively the obsession's work to get rid of the curse.
- The hex appears as dull effect of the perk is in my opinion too OP for the killer, I thinking about remove this part.

Perk K4 - Over-Insidious
| Icon | Name | Description |
 |
Over-Insidious |
By standing still for 4/3/2 seconds, duplicate your Terror area to this location until you use this effect somewhere else. |
- Intended use : It's Insidious but with its effect reversed, this is maybe more interesting.

Perk K5 - Emergent Death
| Icon | Name | Description |
|
Emergent Death |
Once per trial, after hooked 4/3/2 survivors, the Perk activates. When activated and if there is enough space, interacting with a downed Survivor to start a special animation and call the entity to raise a hook from the ground that will hook this Survivor during its elevation. |
- Intended use : Basically grants you a 100% chance to hook your victim by also generate a new hook, but I think the point of this perk is just the special animation that must be spectacular (as same as a mori). I imagine the killer grabbing the leg of the Survivor in manner to put it on the back and then the hook emerges from the floor taking the survivor during its elevation.
