Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Just a fun little Killer Perk idea

Scourge Hook: Empathic Agony

The Agony of facing ones mortality takes it's toll on your victims, crippling their ability to press on.

At the start of the Trial, 4 random Hooks are changed into Scourge Hooks:

The Auras of Scourge Hooks are revealed to you in white.

Each time a Survivor is hooked on a Scourge Hook, the following effects apply:

Scourge Hook: Empathic Agony Gains 1 token, and for every 4/3/2 tokens gained all survivors suffer from a persisting status effect for the remainder of the trial. (maximum of 8 tokens)

2 tokens: All survivors who have been hooked at least once on a scourge hook suffer Blindness.

4 tokens: All survivors who have been hooked at least once on a scourge hook suffer Hemorrhage when injured.

6 tokens: All survivors who have been hooked at least once on a scourge hook suffer Oblivious.

8 tokens: All survivors who have been hooked at least once on a scourge hook become Exposed.

All tokens and status effects are Lost if the End Game Collapse is Triggered, or if you Hook the same survivor Twice in a row on any hook.


Basically, this perk punishes survivors and rewards you for hooking a different survivor each time on a scourge hook. It encourages going for hooks over kills, and only rewards you if you avoid hooking the same survivor twice, keep survivors from opening an exit gate, or avoid shutting the hatch.


What do you guys think?
