Perk Suggestion: First of the Hunt
Your drive to end the Survivors empowers your first strike.
When the trial begins, the Survivors are Exposed for 40/50/60 seconds. Once a Survivor has been downed, Exposed status is removed from all Survivors.
”The day of reckoning is upon us”.

An opposite to NOED, this perk provides a strong start but at a cost of a perk slot.
An easy first hook can help get the ball rolling with certain perks (Devour Hope, Dying Light, etc), and provides ample opportunity for that early game set-up.
Thoughts?
*Edit: Reworded the perk to clarify that the Exposed status is removed from everyone once a Survivor has been downed.

I feel like this is would be way too strong on high mobility killers like spirit or nurse

Could you elaborate?

Nurse blinks using the 3 tile rule and find a survivor, that survivor goes down in seconds because its nurse and then nurse sees someone on bbq and the same thing happens. now you have a situation where the nurse is playing with 3 perk slots but also have half the team immobilized and has 5 gens remaining. Replace nurse with spirit and take away one down and this applies to spirit as well.

I personally wouldn’t mind something like this in the game. I wouldn’t use it, as I like perks that you get repeated use out of, but I can see why some killers would use it. It could lead to some great snowballing if you’re a killer with an insta-down ability and you’re using Infectious Fright.
The only downside is, wouldn’t people just hide? A minute isn’t a long time and you could just wait it out. Unless you’re against a Doctor or just get unlucky, it would be an easy perk to counter.

This would be insane with killers like Oni that were also using Infectious Fright.

I quite like this perk idea, it'd be a really good counter to generators popping instantly, however if all survivors start together and a killer plays infectious fright, that could instantly destroy a game. I also feel like more people would dc because there are quite a few survivors who tend to dc if they go down quite quick.

The exposed status ends when 1 Survivor is downed, so the second Survivor has a chance of wasting her time or/and getting away.
There is a rule Survivors usually follow with BBQ & Chilli: Get in a Locker or hold your own.

It could be potent with Infectious Fright, but most insta-killers still have a requirement to perform their action. Myers, Oni, etc, have to charge their power, while Hillbilly and Cannibal are limited in their attacks.
Plus, I personally think Infectious Fright needs a tweak itself.

It can definitely lead to some good snowballing opportunity, but the Killer has to weigh up the missing perk slot.
Hiding in the beginning is already a counter to Corrupt Intervention, but there is always 1 Survivor that gets caught out by that perk. Those who are smart/skilled will be able to play it.

That’s why I’m totally on board with a perk like this being in the game. It’s a high risk, high reward type of perk.

It this perk encourages more salty Survivors to leave the game, I'm happy with that outcome.
