Afterlife perks, A New perk type idea to help mitigate tunneling

Hello there, I've played this game a long while and wanted to chip in my own idea for a perk bandaid to deal with tunneling in a non oppressive way that gives players that die early a chance to contribute to the team in little but impactful ways.


My idea mostly involves using a perk slots that activate and buff teammates or game state after said player dies in a trial. like locking in 5% gen progress across the map, improving healing speeds or buffing item efficiency depending on the afterlife perk equiped,


The goal isn't to make them super strong but be mildly impactful for losing a critical part of a team and decrease snow balls/ put disincentive on tunneling. It was a perk type idea that my one friend who quit really likes too cause he really hated the lack of impact he could have in bad matches
