Community Challenge, be creative - Design your own Perk

More like so one perk should be redesigned in a way to become viable and NOT boost one of the most hated killers. I did not say don't touch Predator, but that rework would be meta on Spirit and probably not even affect pick rate on other killers

Hello there! Here are some more perk I ideas I managed to think of! I hope you find them cool and interesting! Please comment down below what you think of them and which one is your favorite! :3

P.S/Disclaimer: One of them is a joke perk lmao. I added pictures and quotes to my perk ideas to make them more cool! Also, the perk icons that are fan made are not my own but are drawn by someone else.

Wow! Thats a lot of ideas! they are pretty interesting although some of them might seem to strong. I like splinters, Linger, cursed blood and salvage. :3

Oh ok. What do you think of my perks? :3

So I don’t have much of a comment on beacon of hope and vile snatch. Spiritual connect is pretty cool as a concept, but is basically alert but with crows and stronger. Since avoiding crows are difficult and almost no one does that, I think a long cool down or a set number of crows that need to be disturbed before activation would balance it. I love panicked dash and cunning escape! They are really unique are new ways to rescue other survivors or get distance before a chase. Obsessive incantation will likely be unpopular due to its lack of versatility and luck. Though it is a good way to single out a survivor. Makeshift shotgun and camouflage are very much out there. It’s not really the effects, though they might need some tweaks to make them a little less powerful. It’s the way they are activated. The prep need for them require that new intractable objects are added into maps, which there are no perks that currently do that. Bobby trap is an instant down with no indication of error, just make some slight but noticeable difference that careful survivors can see that distinguish them from other chests. I personally would hate a killer using pandemonium. That would so annoying and confusing to get rid of, but it’s a good anti coop perk. Malfunction is overcharged but instead of regression and an alert, it increases the repair time of gens. Finally, escape artist. It’s a great concept but it’s too powerful being able to pick which locker. Idk but if it were in the game I’d love to use it.

Thanks for the criticism SurpriseSurprise! I know I'm not a Dev and I try my best to balance them out.

Perhaps for escape artist it should be a locker that is within 20 meters or so. But you can choose which one to Teleport to?

I ike your idea for vile snatch and will look into it.

Fir Beacon of Hope, I can understand that its too cluttered of effects and may be too strong. I will change it!

Thanks again for the thought out criticism! It means a lot! Have a nice day and see ya in the fog! :3

KILLER PERK: Resource Management

Once every 3/2.5/2 minutes you are able to drop a pallet that is currently standing however you will be unable to destroy it until a survivor has fast vaulted over the pallet.

Okay boys and girls, this is my first single perk idea! Only one instead for 21!

Stubborn- You are grounded even in the most dire situations.

When a killer is going to perform an attack grab, they will instead perform a normal melee attack and be stunned for an extra 3 seconds. This perk has a 90/75/60 second cool down which will only start out of chase.

”I’m not getting pulled off no matter what!”

lol i feel ya there. No one rly takes the time to actually comment about your ideas most of the time. There are some people who do though which is nice. I see that you are using the website I have been using. Good idea to grab attention.

Third Times the Charm

-Interesting concept. However, usually if on the third down, survivors are on their last hook and therefore the bonus to unhooking may not be as useful cause they be dead lol.

Vanquisher of evil

-Do you get Tokens from a TOTAL of 60/50/40 seconds of chase or is it all in one? If its all in one, it would be very hard to use the perk cause chases dont last that long. Maybe lose Tokens when you get Hooked instead of stunning the Killer so that value of the perk can last longer.

Sightjack

-I had an idea of a perk similar to this! Im probably going to make that soon. Dont worry Im not copying you lol. Its an interesting idea but maybe the meter range should be longer since the perk only activates when a gen is done and you only have 30 seconds to get use out of it. Most of the time survivors would run away from you by then.

Shadow World

-The wording is a bit confusing. However, the perk idea is indeed an interesting one. Im not a dev so Im not a pro at balancing perks and such but the perk has potential to be too strong. Im not saying it is cause Im not sure but if the ranges were increased it would greatly help survivors communicate with one another and allow them to see where everybody is frequently.

Overall, interesting ideas! :3

Check out on my perk ideas on my account. The one I posted in the discussion has changed a lot. Go check them out if you want and comment on what you think of them! :3

Fair point about Third Time's, I just don't know what to do to make it different. But then again there gotta be some perks that are too similar, newest survivor Felix literally gave us Deja Vu 2.0.

Shadow World: I understand the concern and stuff. Admittedly it's one of the perks I made up straight on the spot, and I honestly don't care about it anymore. Literally made it in 3 minutes (not the other ones, I just added it there to give the post more attention). So, yeah I honestly decided I'm not going to care about it anymore. Thanks for the criticism you gave me, as these were the first perks I've made I'll try using these as a stepping stone to make better perk concepts.

Third Time's: Understandable, "usually if on the third down, survivors are on their last hook and therefore the bonus to unhooking may not be as useful cause they be dead lol." I can't believe I honestly didn't factor that in.

Vanquisher of Evil: Don't quite know what you're asking but I'll give more context. 1 token = 60/50/40 seconds. You don't have to have all 3 tokens to use this perk, you only need 1. It loses all tokens when stunning the killer because that's what the tokens go to, more stun time for the killer. Oh, and if you don't have a token but stun the killer, the time doesn't reset. Think maybe Stake Out, you don't lose all progress if you get a good skill check if you don't have a token but have some seconds on it, you just lose a token when you hit a good skill check.

Sightjack: I understand completely, which is why I reworked the perk (down bellow)

Reworked Idea: Works for 15/18/21 seconds and then gets reset each time a gen gets completed. By crouching and holding the active ability button, your screen becomes pitch black. By toggling (imagine spectating while dead/escaped, that's how you toggle) between players you can see the auras of what other people see and auras about their surroundings (you can see each pallet and window the person you're sightjacking sees, even if they don't have Windows or Zashin Tactics). Has infinite range. Auras stay visible 3/4/5 seconds longer. If you are hit, you are knocked out of sightjack mode. Note, you see the auras from where you are, your camera doesn't shift to where your sightjacked is.

Shadow World: Yeah, that was mainly a filler perk to grab more attention to my post. I have no idea how to balance it, and I kinda gave up. Maybe I'll look at it again, but if so it's going to be basically an entirely different perk.

Thank you for commenting, and saying they were interesting. I will check them out when I get the time (which is probably soon, I have too much time rn).

I thought about the whole thing with being able to escape the killers grasp with DS and gaining the haste status, maybe it could work in the sense that if you use DS to escape, you don’t gain the haste boost.

For Verge of Danger, I wanted to make something that would help against bloodlust. I could see people pairing it with dead hard and being virtually impossible to be caught. Maybe having a drawback to it would balance it out more, like making you exhausted each time you gain a token, the amount of time you are exhausted is extended each time you gain a token.

A Handyman’s Job took a lot of inspiration from Any Means Necessary, pretty much meant to be a meme perk, but would good if you get into an early chase and throw a god pallet down.

Too annoying while at the same time too niche. It makes "grab survivor" challenges even more brutal, would be stackable with DS, and punishes stealth killers for playing well which is already hard.

Killer Perks

Short-Sighted!

Survivors usually spot the Killer's Red Stain from very far away, giving them the upper hand! This perk gives them a handicap: Survivors don't see the Red Stain when further away than 40/36/32 meters from the killer.

Killer's Advantage: Survivors can not detemine the killer's position. 

I See You!

Every 60/50/40 seconds, the Killer sees the aura of all Survivors for 5 seconds. Doesn't work on Survivors that have anti-aura Tokens/Perks!

HEX: Dark Speed

For every hooked Survivor, the Killer gets a 1% movement speed gain with a maximum of 4% for 40/50/60 seconds!

NOTE: Unhooking a Survivor doesn't change anything!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Survivor Perks

Let's Do This!

After repairing a Generator, the Survivor gets a 5% Haste status effect for 20/25/30 seconds. This means 5% additional speed increase for repairing, healing, vaulting, sabotaging, unhooking, totem cleansing, opening the gates, etc. 

Killer Perks: The Game is Afoot: The Hunt gives you purpose and increases your stride. Receive a 5% increase in movement speed when not in a chase (helps killers with no way to increase their base speed get across large maps).

Single-Minded Focus: The survivors' focus will be their downfall. All survivors working on generators for 15/10/5 seconds suffer from the Oblivious status effect and be deafened to all but the sounds of the generator.

Survivor: Stamina: You've learned to push yourself but also how to make the most of your energy. Your movement speed is increased by 3/4/5%. However, you permanently suffer from the exhausted status effect.

I feel that vigil is kinda situational and weak so I made this, feel free to provide criticism:

Everything Comes to an End- Your life has taught you nothing lasts forever. Even the most excruciating and disheartening times will eventually pass by.

When afflicted by a negative status effect without a timer of removal, this perk will activate. The effect will be replaced by one given a timer of 90/70/50 seconds. When given a negative status effect with a timer (besides given by this perk), you recover 10% faster. Any permanent effect given by a hex totem or killer ability will be reapplied after 20/25/30 seconds upon removal, unless cleansed.

“What happens now is just temporary. Only if I believe it wasn’t, would it hold me back.”

Perk Trivia:

-This perk will basically counter sloppy butcher, sorta NOED, and third seal.

-It synergizes well with vigil but honestly is more useful and definitely more powerful.

-To explain the hex totem/ killer ability part: If a killer uses noed or they’re someone like Michael and the survivor is afflicted with the exposed status effect, they will have to survive the effect for at most 90 seconds or at the least 50 to have a 20-30 second period without it, unless the source of the effect deactivates (ie. Cleanses or leaves tier 3).

-The perk will effect doctor’s madness, and they will not be subject to the reapplication of madness since it can be easily reapplied.

The perk will not work against deep wound or sleeping, but will work on sickness (the broken status effect will be removable).

-The perk’s 10% will work for ghostface’s exposed effect timer.

-The perks rarities will be rare, very rare, and very rare.

-I see this perk belonging to a survivor with a life of extreme misfortune or abuse, likely domestic.

-I think the 10% recovery speed for effects will not apply for exhaustion but idk.

Since I haven’t really shown some killer love in a bit, here’s one:

Hex: Lockdown- Force their hand to escape, for their negligence will be your greatest delight.

This hex will be applied to a dull totem but be hidden and shown as a dull totem until the exit gates are powered. After hooking a survivor, this perk gains a token, to a maximum of 6/5/4 tokens. If you reach 4 tokens and the exit gates are powered, the switch to open the exit gates will be blocked by the entity and the end game collapses will activate, however will be give 10 minutes instead of the original 2 (?). The switches of the exit gates will remain blocked either til the associated hex totem is cleansed or there 60 seconds left of the end game collapse.

”Their ignorance will be their downfall.”

Perk Trivia:

-I don’t actually remember how long the normal end game collapsed is so that what the question mark means. [I’ll look it up later]

-The totem that has this perk attached to it will look like a dull totem but the killer will see its aura like any other hex totem. The perk will also be lit and show its stacks while it’s still active.

-This perk in conjunction with NOED would probably be amazing, Idk tho. Could be the worse pairing to go against for survivors. (Maybe going with blood warden too and slugging could easily give you a 4K.)

-The 10 minute extension is to give survivors a chance to find and cleanse the revealed hex totem. [If it’s too long, 8 minutes should be the lowest time. But I like 10 so that’s what being shown]

-The deactivation during the last 60 seconds is to prevent an easy 4K from the killer camping the totem.

-The totem for the perk can be cleansed before the exit gates are powered they just don’t know what totem is it since it won’t be revealed until the gates are powered. So inner strength users are your new enemy.

-Trapping or camping the totem before it activates would probably give away what you’re using and even after it activates, the perk doesn’t always guarantee a kill.

I would like a killer perk If you are within 10 metres of a survivor you can drop a pallet. Let the killer pallet a survivor for once have it count as a regular hit.

You could give it say 3 tokens or a hex totem so killer doesn’t just drop all the pallets.

Perk: hex: revenge

7 seconds of haste is an extremely long time...

Hex: Skilled Illusion

Fake skill checks will appear on the screen for survivors working on a generator, missing these fake skill checks will result in a 2/1.5/1% progression but succeeding these fake skill checks will result in a 1/1.5/2% regression. Fake skill checks have a slightly different noise notification before appearing on screen.

•Hex: Playground- This world is your domain. It abides by your rules.

+All but 5 windows and other vault points, besides pallets, are blocked by the entity. The aura of these open vault points are revealed to you. Whenever a generator is repaired, the locations of said open vault points are moved randomly. This effect will persist as long as the associated hex totem remains. If this hex is cleansed, all vault points, including pallets, are blocked by the entity for 80/100/120 seconds.

“Only I make the rules here.”

Author’s note: Imagine this hex with undying and brutal strength, loops and shack would get an extra difficulty.

Still working on my perk making skills, so I made 2 new ones based off 2 of my favorite songs. So if anyone wanna criticize me, please go ahead.
