Perk changes cause character descriptions to become outdated

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE:

While not necessarily a bug in that sense, this is something that needs to be looked into in regards to the Quality of Life initiative that has been set into motion.

Every Killer and Survivor has a short description of their character and perks if you hover over them. However, some characters now have vastly outdated information listed here due to perk changes. Take for example The Singularity, screenshot below.

His perk, Genetic Limits, now causes Exhaustion upon the Survivor losing a health state. However, the description of The SIngularity still implies the old effect. This is true for multiple characters, including Renato Lyra.

PLATFORM:

PC, Steam, Windows 11.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED:

Hover over a character portrait and read their description, then check the associated perks.

    Here is another example, involving Skull Merchant's perk 'Leverage'.

    Its original effect applied upon hooking a Survivor, and would grant the perk one token up to a maximum of 10 tokens. For 30 seconds after the hook action, Survivors would suffer from a 5% debuff to healing per token, up to a maximum of 50%.

    Its current effect, however, no longer applies to hooks but to unhooks, and only debuffs the Survivor who performed the unhooking action with a flat 50% for 30 seconds.
