So I did this with Killer perks and thought to dp this again but instead with Survivor perks. Again, it would be interesting to hear what people think. Some I believe hit the mark well, whilst others could very much be as bad as my "Rancor" idea! Either way, here are some suggestions:


Leader - Increases the action speeds of other Survivors in Healing, Sabotaging, Unhooking, Cleansing, Booning, Opening, and Unlocking by 15/20/25% while they are within 8m of your location. The effect lingers for 15 seconds when leaving Leader's range. The amount of BP the Survivor you assisted earnt from their action will also apply to you.

Self-Care - Unlocks the Self-Care ability, allowing you to self-heal without a medkit at 30/40/50% of the normal healing speed.

Iron Will - Reduces the volume of grunts of pain while in the Injured State by 50/70/90%. Whilst Exhausted, the grunts of pain while in the Injured State are only reduced by 30/45/60%.

Calm Spirit - Prevents crows from being alerted by your proximity and flying off, unless stepped on. Suppresses the urge to scream from any cause at all times. Whilst crouching, breathing is silent and any Exhaustion reduces at 100/115/130% of normal speed.

Balanced Landing - When falling from great heights, you benefit from the following effects: Reduces the stagger duration by 75%, Supresses grunts of exertion from falling, Upon landing break into a sprint at 150% of your normal running speed for 3 seconds. Balance Landing causes the Exhausted status effect for 60/50/40 seconds. Whilst Exhausted, the sprint bonus and grunts of exertion removal shall not occur, but the 75% stagger reduction can be done at any time after landing, even when Exhausted.

Sole Survivor - Each time a Survivor other than yourself is Killed or Sacrificed, Sole Survivor gains 1 Token, up to a maximum of 3 Tokens: 1 Token makes your Aura invisible of the Killer when within 20m, and makes breathing silent. 2 Tokens makes their Aura invisible to the killer when within 32m of the Killer, suppresses breathing and footstep sounds, and grants a 20% boost to repairing generators when working alone. 3 Tokens makes their Aura invisible permanently, suppresses breathing and footstep sounds, grants a 75% boost to fixing generators, increases gate and hatch opening speed by 50%. If you are the final Survivor and are hooked for the first time, you can still attempt to unhook yourself with the same chances as you normally would.

Decisive Strike - After being unhooked or unhooking yourself, Decisive Strike activates for the next 40/50/60 seconds: when being grabbed or picked up by the Killer, succeed a Skill Check to escape the Killer's grasp, stunning them for 5 seconds. Successful stunning of the Killer deactivates the perk for the rest of the trial and makes you the new Obsession. While Decisive Strike is active, any conspicuous action will deactivate it until being unhooked or unhooking yourself again. Decisive Strike deactivates permanently once the Exit Gates are powered.

Up The Ante - For each Survivor still in the trial, Up The Ante gains 1 Token. Each Token does the following: applies a stackable 1/2/3% bonus to luck to all Survivors; grants a 10/15/20% chance of not giving away any Survivors' Aura when the Killer uses an Aura-based perk; grants a 5/7/10% chance of disabling a random perk of the Killer for 15 seconds when the Killer is blinded or stunned by any Survivor. Up the Ante does not stack with other Up the Ante perks within the Trial.

Ace in the Hole - When retrieving an item from a chest, 1 add-on will always be attached to it. The item will never be worse than Rare. There will be 20/40/60% chance of a second add-on being attached. Any add-ons attached to an item will be kept upon escaping. If the Hatch is closed, there is a 33% chance a Chest will contain a key.

Left Behind - When you are the last Survivor remaining in a Trial, the Aura of the Hatch is revealed to you when you are within 24/28/32m, and when opening the Exit Gates, the lights will not show until they are 60/70/80% opened.

Borrowed Time - Survivors you unhook benefit from the following effects: Extends the duration of their Endurance by 10 seconds; Extends the duration of their Haste by 10 seconds. You gain +7% Haste for 6/8/10 seconds and Endurance for 6 seconds if you rescue whilst injured.

Performing any of the Token-earning actions grants a 100% BP bonus for that action.

No Mither - You start the Trial healthy. Upon losing a health state for the first time, you become Broken for the rest of the Trial. Whilst Broken, you benefit from the following effects: Pools of Blood are suppressed; Grunts of Pain are reduced by 50/65/80%; Recovery speed is increased by 15/20/25%; You can always recover from the dying state.

The next time you are unhooked or unhook yourself or are healed from the Dying State or pick yourself up from the Dying State, you automatically heal 1 Health State after 28/24/20 seconds. If a Killer hurts you within the time frame, Second Wind deactivates.
