Hello everyone, I wanted to ask, what is this perk for? is it useful for slow killers? I ask because when I started being main myers in ranks 20-16, I was a perk that annoyed the survivors and I never understood if this perk was a mix between brutal strength and poems go the weasel in case they clarify my doubt

    Its a mix of Brutal Strength, Bamboozle, and you pick up survivors faster.


    You break pallets and kick gens faster, you vault faster and you pick up survivors faster, all depending on how many gens are done.


    Overall the perk is unreliable compared to bamboozle or brutal strength, since Fire up relies on the number of completed gens.

    it should just get reworked, even at full power it's not worth using compared to what's available. I actually have a idea for this perk.

    Fire up: Whenever a generator is repaired gain a token. When starting a chase you move 1%/2%/3% faster for each token for 3 seconds. Fire up has a cooldown of 30 seconds.

    that would actually do something and become better as the match goes on, the cooldown is so it doesn't trigger as your in a chase already and it wouldn't be too noticeable.

    A buff could be that it starts with 10% progress, but each token provides less percentages like 2%. So it feels useful throughout the match but maintains the spirit of the perk.

    It's not a powerfull perk (actually very bad numberwise) but it does have some funny meme potential by combining it with brutal strenght and bamboozle. especially on Myers who already vaults faster in EW3. You will break pallets and vault really fast with all these perks when at 1 gen left. not enough to be worth 3 perk slots ofcourse seeing how it won't really start to take effect untill there are 2 to 1 gens left but funny to do once in a while
