Perk Idea: You better help

Hey guys, so i had an idea that would affect SWF the most.

Since on comms you can say like "okay im on hook, you there are nearest to me so come help and you other two guys just do gens"

This situation is something solo survivors dont have. They have to gamble if someone else is saving or they have to see someone running in that direction. They have the risk that nobody comes for the safe if they dont.

So what is my perk idea?

basically its a reverse make your choice.

youll get exposed when you do a generator while somebody is on the hook.

Campers dont benefit much from it because they would camp anyways and it would reward the killer for leaving and punish survivors who leave someone hanging to do gens instead.

I also would like to implement a token system on this perk.

If you want to tap a gen you wont get punished for doing so.

I would suggest something like this:

For every 3 Seconds a survivor repairs a Gen while someone is hooked he gains hidden tokens until he finishes the generator or stops repairing. Once this happens the survivor gets a notification he is exposed. Every token is worth 10 seconds of exposed status and a survivor can gain up to 4/5/6 tokens.

The tokens also trigger in the moment somebody gets saved from the hook and give the survivors that gained tokens a notification even if they are still on a gen.

So i know it could be confusing but if you have questions i would love to answer them :)

    This is meant to be a killer perk I'm assuming?

    Also I think this punishes solo survivors more because they're more likely to stay on gens and ignore the person on hook thinking that someone else is going for the save.

    Yes its a killer perk. But it encourages survivors being saved so thats a healthy thing i think.

    It could also be a hex perk i guess because it could be that 2 or 3 survivors are exposed at once.

    But what if the killer camps? As a survivor you can't make the save or shouldn't until the last second, its best to in general work on a gen.

    So if the killer is camping and you work on a gen to be optimal and than make a save the last second, you and everyone else risk being exposed for 60 seconds because the killer campped one person for 20 seconds?
