Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Buff Self-Preservation

The Perk is quite bad, it is not good alone and not really better with a dedicated build (for example flashlight save build or escape build), since it has a lot of alternatives that do it's job more consistently and better (Iron Will, Background Player).

I think it would be cool if this Perk was made into a semi-exhaustion like Perk, that would help you avoid the Killer if they get close to you which could prevent snowballing and it would fit the theme of the Perk really well!

Self-Preservation (OLD)

Whenever another Survivor is hit with a basic or special attack within 16 metres of you, Self-Preservation activates:

  • Scratch Marks, Pool of Blood and Grunts of Pain are suppressed for 6/8/10 seconds.

Self-Preservation (NEW)

Whenever another Survivor loses a health-state, Self-Preservation activates for 20 seconds.

While active, if the Killer is within 12 metres of you:

  • Break into a sprint at 150% for 2 seconds.
  • Scratch Marks, Pool of Blood and Grunts of Pain are suppressed for 6/8/10 seconds.

I think now it fits more with escaping and evading the Killer! If the Killer decides to snowball you have a small headsup!
