Idea for WGLF Buff
People have been asking the Devs to buff this perk since it came out- the BP gains are great, but when the Killer counterpart (BBQ&C) does the Aura reading too, WGLF feels lackluster. What about adding an effect where unhooking a Survivor grants both the hooked survivor and savior a temporary, minor Haste effect? Something like 5-7% speed increase for 10s- not incredibly powerful, but its something that fits with the idea. Maybe it should activate with protection hits too, since WGLF counts those?

Make yourself and the unhooked survivor imune to killers aura reading for a short time
That way you can heal them without fear of nurses

And how can the killer counter it? Remember, the aura reading of bbq can be countered with perks, being inside the distance, hidding in lockers and hidding behind a gen. Lots of counters. If the arguement is the comparison to bbq, it should be an effect that is as easily countered as bbq is. Otherwise, dont compare them.

I like the idea.

What about making it so that if you get hit while unhooking someone, you get deep wounds. You have 8/10/12 seconds to mend. This counts both if you are injured or not, so as not to make it too strong. To counter it, the killer can wait until you finish to attack you, or attempt a grab. But also makes it so if you take a hit getting to a hook, you can still get them off of it and run. This also provides a counterplay to camping killers.

This is an idea I have for it, maybe it can work but it's like kindred, when you unhook someone you see every survivor for 10 seconds, it can help you for solo queue in case that you are injured, you can just run towards that survivor.
But it might not be that good but I really don't know of any way of buffing it, because if you say "you get to see the killer's aura for 4 seconds" well babysitter exists, kindred is run on most solo survivors I've played with which is almost the same way I want to buff wglf

Yeah, I was thinking about that too. You and unhooked survivor see the auras of other survivors for a tier based amount of time. Can even tell you if someone else is in a chase if you also want to go in for protection hit.

That'd only really be beneficial if you're making the save while Injured. And even with this that'd still be really risky.
Also free extra health states are annoying even at the best of times - at worst this would be useless for the Survivor and at best frustrating for the Killer.
I'd rather WGLF increase the speed at which you perform Altruistic actions on other Survivors by 3% per token. 12% faster unhooks at 4 tokens and 12% faster heals on other Survivors would be enough to be noticeable without being broken IMO.

Unhooked guy gets a 4 second aura of a killer within 40m of the hook.

^ exactly and just like you mentioned, if someone is being chase you can actually try to take a hit for them so they can make it a little bit longer

Make it so you also gain a token when repairing a generator, and for each token you can see the killer's aura for 4 seconds

Dark Sense says "hi".

I had this exact idea too. each time you get an unhook or protection hit, you and the other survivor gain a temporary haste. It's definitely nothing game changing sinse it's only temporary but it suits the function of the perk. whatever the buff is, it should be just as effective as bbq&c. With bbq&c, the aura reading alone makes it one of the strongest killer perks in the game.

Oh hi dark sence, completely forgot you were a thing.... I still want a WGLF token for completing a gen though....

Haste should be not a concern for any killer who doesn't camp.
