Gen's blowing up

Hello all.

I could not find an answer to this hence me now posting this question.

Playing as killer, I hook a player then all of a sudden 4 gens will explode simultaneously not once but up to 3 times in succession, by explode I mean if you are fixing a gen and miss the spiny mini game the gen explodes.

Call me mr you do not have a clue about perks, add on's and offerings, but would it have been possible I did actually have something that would have caused this having hooked a player? This has happened more than once and I was just confused as to how so many gens could explode simultaneously. I worked out on my own-Yes I did-If you purposely missed the spiny game you might attract the killer to come to you, allowing some else to release the hooked player. As said I was just confused as to how all the gens blew up.

    What perks are you using?

    Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance is a popular perk currently. Survivors often let go of Generators last second to avoid getting hit by it, but sometimes you get a Skill Check and blow up the Generator, which could have happened to multiple Generators being worked on... that is the only way I see it as being possible.

    There is no perk other than Eruption that allows you to let 4 gens explode simultaneously. But Eruption is actually triggered upon putting a survivor into the dying state (downing them) and not hooking.

    4 missed skill checks in quick succession is a very rare thing as well so I guess you might have had Hex: Huntress's Lullaby equipped?! Huntress's Lullaby delays the sound clue before every skill check and you gain a stack on it with each hook that you get up until 5. At 5 stacks the sound disappears entirely.

    Also which killer did you play? If it was Doctor, the survivors might have had a hard time with the madness skill checks.

    I only ever really play Ghost face. I thought it may have been a perk I added, but was unsure as this has happened 3-4 times where all gens have exploded at the same time having hooked a player.

    I do realise that the letting go of a gen last minute is a tactic, I was just curious as to how nearly all the gens can explode simultaneously at that point.
