KILLER POWER: FACELESS
At the start of the trial, your power gauge will slowly fill after 80 seconds. Attacking a survivor improves this process by 10% and you may press the Active Ability Button 2 to trigger your power to the next stage should the gauge complete. You have 4 identities starting with the first in descending order:
Dwight Fairfield:
A hesitant leader. Twist and mock that notion of leadership into a hunting strategy. As Dwight Fairfield your Terror Radius is 4 meters wider at all times and you can Press and hold the power button to charge False Inspiration the then the attack button to activate it. False Inspiration has a 25 second cooldown.
-False Inspiration: Contort your throat and loudly scream in an otherworldly voice that emulates that of Dwight Fairfield’s. Those that are in your terror radius hear their Leader’s call and will receive a very Difficult Skill check if they are healing or repairing or they will if they currently are not. If any of those individuals fail the skill check you present them, they will become oblivious for 45 seconds.
Meg Thomas:
A runner and an athlete who can leap over pesky obstacles. How useful. As Meg Tomas, it takes you half as long to develop stacks of Bloodlust and can press and hold the power button to charge Spider-Crawl then the attack button to activate it. Spider-Crawl has a 25 second cooldown
-Spider Crawl: Flip over backwards and grow 2 more legs out of the sides of your body. Increase your movement speed to 5.4 meters and your Pallet break speed, Wall break speed, Generator break speed and vaulting speed are halved. Spider-Crawl lasts for 10 seconds.
Claudette Morel:
A loner and a natural healer. If only they could heal the damage you can deal. As Claudette Morel, all injured survivors leave behind 10% more blood than before. You can also now press and hold the Power button to charge Venom and the attack button to launch it. Venom has a cooldown of 8 seconds.
-Venom: Twist your hand to form a mini projectile launcher. Upon hitting a surface other than the floor or a survivor, this projectile will ricochet and will injure healthy Survivors, providing them the Broken status effect for 20 seconds, or the Deep Wound Status effect if they are injured. These statuses cannot both be placed on the same survivor at the same time.
Jake Park:
A stealthy outdoorsman and a survivalist. This practical knowledge could be of use to you in locating your prey. As Jake Park your terror radius is now non-directional. Press and hold the power button to charge Unreal and the attack button to activate it.
-Unreal: Whenever a survivor enters a Darkness Plume created by your Hallucinations for the next 20 seconds, your Hallucination will silently approach them and attack them. This attack will not injure the survivor however, it will illuminate them with Killer Instinct for 4 seconds.
SPECIAL ABILITY: HALLUCINATIONS
The Unknown will intermittently create Hallucinations. A maximum of 4 Hallucinations can co-exist in the environment at a time. Hallucinations cannot be created while charging/utilizing any of your four Identity related powers, performing interactions, or while in proximity to several Environmental Objects. These Hallucinations will spawn whenever a unique survivor spots you outside of chase and within 40 meters of them. These Hallucinations create a plume of impenetrable darkness that you can see through but survivors cannot, only able to see 2 meters around them when inside. Inside this Darkness Plume, survivors will hear your voice intermittently leading them towards or away from your Hallucination as well as hear a non-directional terror-radius. This plume starts with a 10-meter wide radius but will incrementally grow by 10 meters every 60 seconds up to a max of 40 meters. Survivors can remove Hallucinations and the Darkness Plume from the environment with the Dispel ability, which takes 4 seconds. A new Hallucination may spawn after the survivor who completed the action spots you again when within range and after 20 seconds has passed.
SPECIAL SURVIVOR INTERACTION
Throughout the trial, Survivors may find 4 Video Cameras atop tri-pods or more in chests. These cameras do not count towards the Survivor’s held item inventory and using it drains the camera of its charges; one charge every second out of 60. At the press of a button, survivors may use these cameras to pause The Unknown’s power progression by revealing its true form. By pulling these cameras to their faces, entering first person view, they are met with semi-grainy footage and are afflicted with the Blindness condition while using it. Survivors can still use their primary items while their camera is being used as well. After 8 seconds of consecutively capturing the Unknown on tape up to 40 meters away at max, the survivor’s vision will progressively become more glitchy as your true form is Revealed to them. Your Faceless power progression shall then freeze for 45 seconds or remove 25% of its max charge if it is complete. The survivor will also see this unholy version of you sprint at them at top speed and they will be be revealed by Killer Instinct to you for 4 seconds. Survivors may also use these cameras to navigate through the Darkness Plume your Hallucinations create by extending their fields of vision by 6 meters. Your Faceless power progression cannot be hindered by a survivor with a camera if you have already been Revealed within the last 80 seconds. During this period, you will be intermittently visible while on camera. If a survivor loses sight of you while trying to reveal you, their progression will regress by 12.5% per second, as their camera footage settles back to normal.

Comments
-
With the chapter releasing next week, I wanted to share an alternate idea I had for the Unknown's power and perks as I was admittedly dissatisfied on his PTB release. Over time he has grown on me, but I still wanted a power that reflected what I thought he would be like from the Teasers and Trailers. One that reflected his Urban Myth status and his mimicry/shapeshifting capabilities while still keeping elements people did like on our true killer.
If you have read my entire post, I thank you and hope you have a blessed day.
