Plot Twist & Unbreakable question

Hello ppl of the fog,

i just came out of a game where I used both Plot Twist and Unbreakable.

The killer downed me due to starstruck, and left me on the ground to chase someone else. So I recover on the ground, using my perks to stand up. I expected to use up UB, bc the killer downed me. But when I stood up, I was healthy and got haste, so Plot Twist got used. That shouldn't happen, as I understand it.

Does anyone else have experience with this two perks together? Does it work as intended, or is it a bug?

    That's intended. Plot Twist says when you recover from the dying state yourself by any means, you gain haste and Plot Twist deactivates.

    If the perk description was worded that way, then sure. But it isn't:

    When you recover by yourself using Plot Twist, you are healed instantly and you gain 50% Haste for 2/3/4 seconds.

    I'm not recovering by using Plot Twist, but by using Unbreakable in this scenario. The killer downed me, I did not use Plot Twist on my own (not possible, since it was an exposed hit).

    So if it's intended, the description should be adjusted. I would have expected, that I can only pickup myself up into healthy when I downed myself beforehand. When I'm downed by the killer, Plot Twist should not activate, imo. That makes the most sense.

    Btw, if it behaves like this with UB, it should do the same with Sould Guard and an active hex, right? Think I've got to test it out.

    You don't get a choice as to which perk you use to recover. If you have Plot Twist and you recover, you are recovering while using Plot Twist.

    Actually this is bugged, i tested it on the PTB. Plot twist is only meant to activate on self-downs, not on going down to the killer
