Stake out great skill checks
Okay So I watched a video where someone is using Stakeout, Hyperfocus and a commodious toolbox with add ons and completes a gen by himself from start to finish in 45 seconds I will post the video below. But I was doing the math because I am crazy and it doesn't quite add up to me.
Commodious Toolbox + 12 charges + 20% rag = 44 charges at 1.7 speed shaves 16.3 seconds. Gen changes to take 73.7 seconds.
That is the easy part. The hard part comes with the fact that Hyperfocus is a bit odd with its wording but it adds 30% of the base great skill check. But stakeout grants an additional 1% when a token is used. Despite factoring both of these in I was coming up short. however if instead stake out just granted a +1% on great skill checks with generators the math checks out perfect.
2+2.6+3.2+3.8+4.4+5+5.6+5.6 = 32.2% or 29 seconds on a gen
73.7-29 = 44.7
So I guess my question is is this a bug or a feature? Is stake out supposed to provide a bonus to every great skill check on a gen whether it uses a token or not? Is it supposed to affect hyperfocus? Did I do my math wrong?

EDIT I am dumb made the mistake of thinking gens had 100 charges not 90 so I skimped on the toolbox. it should save 18.1 second. Which honestly just makes me more confused

Isolate the variables IMO. Do a test with just Hyperfocus and another with Stake Out + Hyperfocus. You might need to repeat several times since you cannot garantee you will get skillchecks at the same time and in the same number. Stake Out only awards the extra 1% if it has at least one token though.

I also seen fast track, stake out, hyperfocus used to make gens faster.

Stake out is also bugged to where if you hit any greats, you get the bonus, instead of the converted greats

Isn't a bug. Stake Out only converts Normal skill checks to Great skill checks. If you get a natural Great skill check there's nothing to convert.

Almo stated that he intended the perk to increase base-skill check reward only when using a token from stake out by 1% but the way he coded it, when he weakened base-skill progression by -1% is that he increased skill-check chance globally by 1% when a survivor hits great skill-check.
so now the perk tooltip is wrong.
What stake out should be saying is
Increases bonus progression of great skill-checks by 1%.
When stake out has at least 1 token, good skill-checks consume 1 token and are considered great skill-checks. up to 2/3/4 max tokens can be acquired by standing in the killer terror radius every 15 seconds.

Personally, if you ask me, I think he took wrong perk to change. Stake out was a perk designed for the days where old hex:ruin was a perk and detectives tap's perks were designed to counter old hex:ruin. I think the perk that should received bonus progression base-skill checks is this is not happening while stake out should just remain for auto-great skill-checks. perhaps in compensation, Stake can turn failed skill-checks into normal skill-checks so people that have trouble landing doctor snap out skill-checks can hit snap out skill-checks using the perk or those coulrophobia healing-checks that some people have trouble landing.
This is not happening should have bonus progression of skill-check increase by 1% and healing skill-checks increased by 2.5%. Its little strange because I remember something along lines of him wanting to improve this is not happening a long time ago though the change never came.
