Boil over buff? The perk is useless, and could be decent.

Add a 25% wiggle speed buff to it, AND expand the killer hook sight to 30 meters.

    You want that to stack with breakout too?

    I agree they should buff the perk, mostly because it COULD have a lot more potential and that's what would make a great buff to something.

    Maybe more like a 15% wiggle speed if they did something like that though.

    Maybe more maybe less depending on how well it worked in a PTB. I always thought Boil Over could be very useful had it been... better lmao.

    25% is WAY too overkill, Breakout already proves how fast a 20% wiggle boost can be. It should be at least 5-10% increased wiggle speed, or just rework the perk entirely.

    i think expanding hook range to 25 meters would be ok, wiggle speed would be way overkill with breakout.

    Agree with some of the others, a 5/10/15% wiggle speed increase at most. And yeah, block hook auras up to at least 20m.

    Buff the Wiggle effect to 100 and the radius to 24m. Perfect. :)

    Alright... Here's the problem with literally every buff idea in this thread.

    Killers don't have to hook you to kill you.

    Now I fully admit that Boil Over is a bad perk. However if it ever became a good perk, Killers would just stop hooking people using it. The game tells them it is in play after all. Welcome to Bleedoutville population Boil Over users. I don't think anyone wants that.

    You have a way better chance to survive being slugged than hooked, if teammates play it right. Plus we have Unbreakable and a new perk on the way…

    I mean if they manage to set things up so badly that Killers can neither hook nor slug, I can't imagine anybody would be willing to play Killer anymore... with the possible exception of Pyramid Head because cages exist.

    That's a whole other huge problem.

    No wiggle speed increase, that’s very unhealthy for the game. Make it hide all hook auras map wide instead of its current limitation. Maybe even a slightly increased wiggle control as well.
