Alert: The range is increased with Open Handed. Actions also include opening lockers and vaulting windows.

Detective's Hunch: Increase length of time from 5 to 7 seconds.

Empathy: In addition to its current effects, when you are injured, the closest survivor's aura is revealed to you (that's not hooked, trapped or being carried by the killer).

Leader, Prove Thyself and Resilience: Values buffed to 6/8/10%.

Lithe: Can also be triggered when fast exiting a locker in the killer's terror radius.

Open-Handed: In addition to its current effects, reduces the killer's aura reading against you by 2/4/6m. Stacks with Sole Survivor.

Pharmacy: Has a secondary button that you push when searching a chest that will guarantee a green medkit. Meaning you're no longer forced to get a green medkit upon first search (or ever).

Sole Survivor: For each teammate currently on the hook, your aura cannot be read by the killer within 20m. When a fellow survivor dies, that range persists for the rest of the trial.

Streetwise: Increase values to 10/15/20%. You do not lose charges when hit with Franklin's (though you still drop the item).

This is Not Happening: 30% bigger skill checks is combined with Resilience. New effect: When being chased by the killer, your vault speed increases by 30/40/50%. Causes Exhaustion for 60/50/40 seconds. If used with Lithe or Balanced Landing exhaustion does not trigger until after the 3 second burst of speed.  (Would probably need new artwork)

Technician: Noises caused by repairing hearing distance reduced by 8m. When you work on a gen that has been regressed, the gen continues to spark. These two effects apply to any other survivor working on the same gen with you. 50% chance a missed skill check explosion will be prevented. 

Windows of Opportunity: In addition to its current effects, you drop pallets 10/20/30% quicker.

    Be prepared to get yelled at by killer mains stating that survivors have had enough buffs....

    These perks, except Lithe and Sole Survivor, are in fact in need of buffs, I agree.

    Empathy doesn't need a change. It's very useful perk.
    Vault speed increased by 50% on this is not happening? Boi that will be fast as flash
    No suggestion about vigil?

    No, it does not, it already hinders several perks of a killer. If killer uses, for example, Deerstalker and NC, you can just heal in his TR. Using one perk, to trum killer's 2 perks is a quite good deal, don;t you think? Besides it has quite fun synergy with OoO.

    Boi no one is used this right now. It needs a buff, or you prefer see in the matches only decisive strike, sprint burst, adrenaline etc

    No one uses DwM, Lithe, UE and IW combo as well, and this is relly good perk build for stealthy/juking survivor. Trust me, some players won't use other perks than DS, SC, SB and BT/ something else, because they are used to this build, and to be honest I can't blame them for it - the devs designed overpowered perks, that guarantee several second chances. If I did not have conscience and some kind of honor, I would use that holy trinity as well.

    And as to the Sole Survivor - this is not a perk in need of buffs, he is not weak. People do not use it, because there are many more, overpowered perks.

    Stealth is funnable I agree, but trust me being at rank 1 and playing always against nurse and billy is.....boring cause stealth don't work really against him (Maybe sometimes, but BBQ can prevent that) :(

    I see a LOT more people use Lithe, Iron Will, and Urban Evasion (that's actually super popular). SS is not a good perk and certainly not good enough to cause you to be the obsession. (I rarely see Deerstalker and countering that perk would hardly ever actually benefit you anyway)

    And Dance With Me rarely helps much, most vaults the killer can just see where you are running and doesn't rely on scratchmarks. 3 seconds isn't long enough to break LOS usually. It's really only good with a whole build.

    Thank you for the feedback, though!

    I thought of an alternative buff to Technician: the range at which a missed skill check explosion notifies the killer is reduced by 25/50/75%.

    I agree with everything but technician it's a lone wolf perk so it should only affect you.

    Empathy is already one of the strongest perks for solo survivors

    AND it's pretty sick with autodidact (Yes, now I think this perk is good)

    I really don't think this buff would make Empathy that much stronger. Certainly not OP. Regardless, I very rarely see Empathy used and this would make it even more tempting for solo survivors.

    I like them, especially the streetwise one.

    I use these all the time at Rank 1. 🤔 UE and IW are super popular, what game are you playing? And of course no one uses those four as a full combo, most people don't want to be gimped without SC or an exhaustion perk.
    If it wasnt for me being a BP ######### with WGLF, I'd always have QnQ and DWM on my build.
    Lithe is just ######### because chases are buggy to register, so you end up getting killed for your fast vault. Also it's useless as an exhaustion perk when you're being camped.
