Survivor Perk Ideas

“Pressured”: With the Killer out and around the Trials, Your Anxiety allows you to work faster. If you’re in the Terror Radius, Skill Checks happen 9%/12%/15% more often, but Good Skill checks will count as Great Skill checks, and the Skill Check zone is increased by 3%/5%/7%
(Meant to finish up a generator or possibly get some good progress in a gen before you leave to hide or something. Not sure if we need this, but an idea nonetheless.)

“Lookout”: As you hear the Killer get close, your Survival Instincts kick in. When looking towards the Killer’s Direction while in the Terror Radius, His aura is revealed to you for 10/14/18 seconds, this Perk has a cooldown of 30 seconds.
(Why not a perk that lets you see the killer in the terror radius? Basically works like “Premonition” or “Spine-chill”, except you need to be in danger, and looking at the killer. This was originally going to work like “Object of Obsession” just without the “Reveal yourself” part. I changed it since i thought “too OP”)

“Escape Artist”: The odds of you escaping the trials fill you with a sense of Euphoria, You open the exit gates 20%/30%/40% Faster, The aura’s of the gates are revealed to you when they are within 30 Meters (Cannot be increased without the help of other add-ons) The “Hatch” is also revealed to you when it is within 24/48/72 meters. It’s only revealed to you if it is open. Otherwise, you do not get an aura reading.
(“Why not a perk that helps new players escape easily?” I mean, “Wake Up!” is one of those perks, so why not one that does it potentially better? This is better used on better players, since not only would you need to be alive, it’s effectiveness is increased if you’re the only one left. I haven’t really seen a perk reveal a Hatch, so why not make it happen, yes I took into account that people might run this perk and a key to get insta-escapes, Fortunately, i made it only work if it was open by another player who found it somehow, or when you are the Sole Survivor.)

Avenge: Someone had just been killed, their determination now fuels your own, You’ll get out with everyone else alive. If there is an Obsession Perk in effect, the effects are reduced by 10%/16%/24%, any other survivors within 6 meters of your position also gain this effect, but only HALF the bonus.
Decreases the chances of you becoming the “Obsession”
(I dunno about this one, but i think the overall idea is actually nice. This is supposed to counter Competent Killers who are good enough where they frequently use the Obsession Perks to their full effect. I’ve NEVER seen a single perk that can partially stop this. Until now, We all know “Dying Light” is both potentially good and bad, if there is a killer who tunnels the Obsession, someone who runs “Avenge” will make “Dying Light” slightly redundant, If it were to completely negate the effects… Instant Meta.)

(I will welcome Criticism due to me still new to making brand new perks and balancing them effectively.)

These perk ideas are pretty good

Except escape artist, Escape artist should instead of opening escape gates faster it should increase wiggle progression by 10%/15%/20%

Pressured to me seems a bit strong. It completely ruins a doctor with Distressing build and also makes stake out pointless.

Lookout is way to strong. You would never lose in a pallet loop scenario if you can see the killers aura for 18 seconds, even the cooldown doesn't help this. The aura time would need to be massively decreased.

Escape Artist seems like a rework of Wake Up. I don't see the point of Wake Up when this perk is in the game. The hatch range would need decreased though to maybe 12/24/36 to be fair to the killer or have it be an obsession perk where once you see it, you both see it since the killer has no perk at the minute to find the hatch. This perk could work with some slight changes.

Avenge I don't see much need to run. No one really uses dying light anyway. It would maybe work for Remember Me but not for other obsession perks like Save The Best For Last, Play With Your Food or Rancor.

I'm giving this from the perspective of someone who is a survivor main at rank 1. Hope this feedback helped, tried to see it from a Killer's perspective as well
