hyperfocus' bonus should be 40% instead of 30%

i've been using the perk lately and with all the rng around it, i feel like i never get value from the perk. I can usually get to like 4 or 5 stacks (if i get early skillchecks, which isn't always the case) and then i will randomly scream because of all the scream inducing perks (pain res, UW, surge (which is still bugged, it shouldn't make you scream)), or i just need to leave the gen losing all the possible value from hyperfocus. This makes it worse than stakeout or even deja vu.

So my suggestion is to buff the bonus to 40% perk token, to make it ramp up a bit faster

    No, we should not buff the greatest gen speed perk that dbd has ever seen. If anything hyperfocus should be nerfed heavily.

    I run hyperfocus religiously to get better at great skill checks, it does NOT need a buff.

    gen progression perks should be nerfed, not buffed, like the gen regression ones

    I just wish they buffed This is not happening a little bit so I could stay on H6 and not lose it. Hyperfocus is pretty good if you stay on H6 the entire game but it is a tiny bit too hard. the perk don't need need a buff.

    Hyperfocus is in theory just too strong if you're good at skillchecks they need to rework it

    Erm, no. I have been using Hyperfocus in almost every match for the last couple of weeks. In theory this perk is really strong, but in practice, you will RARELY get good value from it (I still bring it because hyperfocus makes doing gens fun for me). Like the OP mentioned, I can't count how many times I screamed and lost all stacks, or got sandbagged, or the killer just decided to come to my gen and I had to let go. Plus teammates coming to me and begging for heals, and I have to do it so they don't sandbag me on purpose later out of spite.

    I personally don't think that this perk needs buffs. However, I honestly feel like it doesn't need nerfs, either. You will probably only continously get value out of it if you're playing in voice comms with a really good swf, and you can arrange the person being chased take the killer far away from the gen you're on. You have to be in isolation a lot of times to be able to get to 6 stacks and finish the gen without losing them. And maybe even run Calm Spirit.

    So, from a lot of experience - no, this perk does not need nerfs. Also, I almost never see anyone run this perk, not when I play killer, not when I play survivor, not even in lobbies of streamers I watch.

    you need to use a toolbox to get the skillchecks every 3 seconds, then it´s insanely powerful
