People who are still sleeping on 'Mindbreaker' have a problem
I don't if all of you tried the new 'Mindreaker' on the PTB, but please...PLEASE, try the new Mindbreaker. Yes, it's finally a good perk, mostly because that 50% requirement is gone, but man the amount of times I managed to stop SBs and DHs is incredible. That 5 seconds, although it seems at first laughablely short, actually messes up the survivors, and I got so much value while playing with this perk oh lord. I pray for it to not be changed again, cause the PTB version is incredible 😭😭

Break this down for me...
I was under the impression that mindbreaker exhausted them for x seconds, when they let go of the gen if they start running then they need to stop running for x seconds tk recover exhaustion
But when I tested it as survivor that wasnt the case. I started running from the gen and the exhaustion went as I was running.
Has that been changed now?

Definitely a bug. Haven't heard of it before. Did this happen multiple times?

Mindbreaker is so #########, its entire effect is to prevent SB in your face but DH is significantly more common anyways so it's just #########.

what is the point or running mindbreaker over ruin+undying, over corrupt, over pop. None, killer meta completely shifted into slowdown meta, unless a perk is extremely op, there's little to no space for chase ender perks.

You joking?
You put one exhaustion addon or perk with you, and you can have multiple people exhausted.
If they start working on a gen, they won't have their exhaustion perks by the time you start a chase. Meaning they HAVE to not touch gens until the duration is gone.
Its brilliant

OH yeah just use exhaustion addons.
You do realize that only 3 killers even have exhaustion addons and demos exhaustion addon is garbage.

Dead Hard who? Haven't heard that name in years.
Imagining this with Ruin makes me happy- either have your 35 second Exhaustion timer paused or watch your progress crumble before you.
Don't change this bhvr. Please.

Blood Echo makes people exhausted.
Addons make survivors exhausted.
Fucking SURVIVORS make themselves exhausted.
If there's a survivor perk that uses exhaustion, then it will have use. Not sure why you're trying to diminish its value.

i'm sorry but its an easy perk to play around once you figure it out,in ptb people dont even play seriously,wait until the update goes live and see how bad it is actually

Mindbreaker buffs my SB, whenever I hear the killer terror radius I will just walk for 4 seconds and keep it at 99% until I get caught in a bad spot :) if something they nerfed it to bad survivors who dont know how to use exhaust perks correctly but buffed it to survivors who know how to 99 it and so on

Once because no other killers used it for me to test 🤣
Im sure I read that too. But if its giving them 5 seconds of actual exhaustion then thats better.

I mean,removing that only 50% of the gen requirement is great,but 5 seconds sounds underwhelming.
10 seconds would be waaaay better.

You guys are completely forgetting that any time on gens while exhausted completely pauses your exhaustion recovery to zilch. If you sprint burst at the beginning of the game and run to a gen to find out... Mindbreaker. Your 20~30s of exhaustion recovery while fondling that generator isn't coming, you either commit to walking inbetween gens to recover it or you sit there knowing you will be exhausted when the killer shows up.
As a killer if you get to a gen - someone goes flying off it with SB and you immediately break chase and kick that gen. If they return to that gen or any other gen they have a potential 35~ second exhaustion stuck on them unless they want to sit it out for a bit to recover that. It's far more likely you will catch survivors who have recently been on gens to have their exhaustion perks still down if you make them expend it and just break chase (it doesn't always happen but it's a great counter to Sprint Burst rather than it being completely negated by that first "99%".
Played about 15 games with it on PTB and was consistently catching people exhausted throughout the match (perhaps they didnt want to wait out their exhaustions in a locker somewhere) and a lot of "Wow Mindbreaker is pretty annoying" in post game lobby. It's a psuedo-slowdown or free hit value more often then you think. I didn't even run it on Berus Toxin Huntress or Solvent Jug Clown which is already fairly annoying to deal with - now they have to stay off gens if they want their exhaustion to recover if a crowd of them get gased by a pro Clown running discordance

Totally forgot about the pausing timer,you're right.
If the perk stays the way it is then it could be a pretty alright perk.

I sense a rank 20

I think the people sleeping on it don't realize 2 things:
- the PTB removed the under 50% condition
- the exhaustion timer is paused
I didn't know about the first until recently. I think Mindbreaker will be a strong perk specifically on killers that hate exhaustion perks, particularly Dead Hard. I will be running it on Nurse to counter Dead Hard. On other killers, I think Bamboozle is better. I just feel as though exhaustion perks don't have enough of an impact to be worth blocking them on most killers.
