New Survivor Perk Idea: Parting Trap (Locker Mindgame Perk)

shouta02hcm

I designed a meta perk specifically to counter locker-reliant Killers such as The Trickster and The Huntress, as well as Killers running Darkness Revealed.

Perk Name: Parting Trap

Category: Disruption / Locker

Effect (Tier I / II / III)

After repairing a total of 50 / 45 / 40 % of generator progress, this perk activates.

While this perk is active, hiding inside a locker for 10 / 9 / 8 seconds automatically installs a trap on that locker.

Trap Behavior

• The trap remains after leaving the locker.
• When the Killer opens the trapped locker (searching, reloading, or interacting with a Survivor), the trap triggers:
  • The Killer is stunned for 3 / 3.5 / 4 seconds
  • Applies Blindness for 10 seconds
• When triggered:
  • All Survivors receive a notification
  • The locker’s aura is revealed for 6 seconds

Limitations

• Only one trapped locker per Survivor can exist at a time
• Installing a new trap removes the previous one
• After the trap is triggered, this perk is deactivated
• To reactivate it, generator repair progress must be accumulated again

Design Intent

• Punishes locker-reliant Killers (reload mechanics)
• Creates mindgames around locker usage
• Synergizes with locker-based perks like Deception and Head On
• Enables clutch plays and situational counterplay
• Encourages planning over pure chase usage

Flavor Text

“Once your preparations are complete, leave quietly.
When the greedy pursuer opens that door… a perfect surprise awaits.”

A locker trap would be so funny with deception, it wouldn't work on aware killers but it would be so funny when it works.
