Community Challenge, be creative - Design your own Perk

•Steel Yourself: While healing yourself or another survivor, press the activate ability button to activate Steel Yourself. Once activated, the survivor being healed receives the endurance status effect. After the endurance status effect is removed, the survivor is left broken for 60/90/120 seconds. This perk cannot be used on survivors that are broken.

•Fight or Flight: At the beginning of a chase, Fight or Flight activates. The speed increase from being injured lasts an additional 2 seconds. The killer is stunned for an additional 2 seconds. The effects of Fight or Flight can only be used 1/2/3 times in any given chase.

•Live On: For each survivor healed a whole health state by you, Live On gains a token, to a maximum of 2/3/4 tokens. While Live On has tokens, you gain the ability to recover from the dying health state. Doing so will consume one token

Totem hunter: You have a totem counter added to this perk icon. When you cleanse a totem you see the killers aura for 5 seconds.

Push Comes to Shove

-Exhaustion perk

-When running into survivors, obstacles. or the killer your movement becomes 90% however you can move past them (Ex: Dwight/the Killer is in the doorway instead of bodyblocking you can move past him with an animation playing of him squeezing through. With terrain instead of being stopped dead in your track you still move in a direction if possible)

-After sprinting for 3 seconds you can activate Shove using the spacebar. When used you gain 200% movespeed and become exposed for 1 second. If you run into the killer during this time stun them and then become exhausted for 60 seconds. If you run into a survivor you can move past them. If you run into an obstacle during shove you are stunned instead. Shove can be used once per trail.

"Get out of the way before I make you"

Note: You not invincible when using Shove. You cannot vault or drop pallets during Shove. Survivors grunt loudly when moving past each other.

Vanquished Desire: When a dull totem or hex totem is broken, gain a token. For each token, increase repairing, healing, sabotaging, vaulting, unlocking chests, and opening exit gate speed by 1/1.5/2%.

BloodBound: Upon Completion of a generator by multiple people BloodBound Activates causing all survivors that helped on the generator to be bound by blood and share a single health state for 30 seconds.

if the killer hits a survivor inflicted with BloodBound every other inflicted survivor will lose a single health state and share any negative effect applied,

BloodBound Has A CoolDown Of 90/130/160 seconds and a duration of 15/25/30

this would be a great perk at discouraging gen rushing

Price Of Power: Upon Getting Stunned 3 times and having 4 generators or more finished Price Of Power Will be Active Allowing The Killer To Use It Or Not Blocking Off All Windows And Generators and used pallets for 120 seconds granting the killer 4% movement speed and 8% recovery speed for the duration

for the duration survivors will be inflicted with a silenced debuff that prevents them from hearing any noise in the match including killer terror radius or abilitys

during the duration any survivor thats been hooked will now be moriable and the obsession will be revealed for the duration inflict them with a Exposed aura that makes any survivor in a radius of 23/34 from the obsession exposed.

if the obsession is knocked down the aura will end but will release a final burst of energy across map making all survivors suffer a final expose for 25 seconds any survivor hooked during Price Of Power will have a faster decrease hook state and will be inflicted with a reveal aura showing any survivor within a 10 meter radius of the hook.

Once Price Of Power Ends the killer will be slowed by 15% for The remainer of the match reduced recovery of 6% any exposed status effects from other perks or abilities will be canceled out and have all tokens from any abilities or perks removed for a duration of 35 seconds

some may say this will be broken but its really made as a last ditch effort to win a match if your getting your ass kicked as the killer type of perk

Betrayal - When there are only two survivors left in the trial, with you being one them, this perk becomes active. When healing the other injured survivor, press Active Ability button to put the survivor on the dying state. This survivor will have their aura revealed to the killer for the next 30 seconds. After using this perk, you will start sprinting at 150% of your normal speed and also leave no scratch marks behind for 3/4/5 seconds. If the other survivor is sacrificed, they will gain 100% more Bloodpoints for actions in the Altruism Category.

I have already posted this perk on another chapter idea, but I really like this design.

Killer:

"Friends till the end" - score a hit on a survivor and all party survivors (swf) auras shown for 5 seconds. Useable every 45 seconds.

"Not so fast"- entity blocks the hatch for 60 seconds if another survivor dies on the hook after all generators are completed. Goes into affect when hatch would normally open.

"Limp Bizkit- Break stuff" - smash one pallet before being dropped after 4 hooks. (Then go down in hooks for tiers, only usable once.)

"Toxic Cramp" - once a survivor has crouched too many times in rapid succession, survivor gets a cramp. The become exhausted, cry like the injured state, reveal their location and cannot run for 60 seconds.

Survivor:

"Crawl before you can walk" - once put in dying state, manage to crawl 48 meters (radial, out from the center not total by going in circles. A substantial distance.) from that location and return to injured state.

"I think we did a pretty good job so far" - if all survivors are in the dying state at the same time with 5 generators left to complete, all survivors return to the injured state extept the last one to fall. (Anti slug and a restart. I don't like ending the game like that but it happens and sometimes I let the survivors restart but they think it's farm time.)

Full disclosure, I like keys, I like old moris occasionally, I like the hatch, I like the new ruin over the old. There should be some greater counter to the hatch since grabs are gone. I do hate that ruin and undying feel essential until you get crazy match making sessions. Really limits the game for killer. The thought of a killer dropping a pallet during a stand off is kind of funny.

"Here I come"

Once a generator is completed all survives in a 5/10/15 meter range suffer from the exposed statues effect for 10/20/30 seconds.

This would be a great perk for anti gen rush, and would work well with other perks.

mvp:

Each time you are unhooked by a survivor that survivor heals you `x\x\x %` faster for the next 20 seconds with more difficult skill checks. If you are healed during that time you gain MVP status.

A survivor with MVP status gains the following aura effect for the next 60 seconds, all effects are applied to the MVP and any other survivor working on the same generator.

• Increases repair speed by x/x/x %
• Causes skill checks to beslightly/moderately/tremendouslymore difficult and frequent
• The regression penalty for missing a skill check is increased slightly/moderately/tremendously

"I stay on top by hanging with the best of the best." - Cocky Survivor

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

NOTE: Edited the perk description to be something the survivor has to equip on themselves. Previously it was a status that the unhooking survivor could apply to the hooked survivor. This might still be a valid approach but it seems a bit fairer and has less potential for toxicity if it is a perk chosen by you and not forcibly applied to you.

Gameplay Impact

This perk is meant to promote teamwork with the trade-off of more intense repair actions and I could see it scaling based on the number of survivors(skill checks are harder with more survivors). This would potentially give survivors an edge in gen speed but with the risk of zoning in and losing focus on anything else but hitting skill checks and potentially causes more regression than what they gain by missing skill checks.

If the perk was meta enough the killer perks below would go really well against it and would hopefully stack in some way. If the skill checks were too difficult for the survivor (such as against the doctor) the survivors would then need to wait a few seconds before healing to avoid activating MVP or wait out the 60-second timer.

Perk Synergy

Synergizes with other altruism and skill check perks such as Leader, Prove Thyself, Desperate Measures, and We'll Make it and potentially Stake Out, Technician, and This is Not Happening.

This also promotes the use of skill check and anti-teamwork killer perks such as Discodance, Distressing, Gear Head, Huntress Lullaby, Overcharge, Oppression, and Unnerving. When possible these perk effects would stack on MVP, causing skill checks to be extremely difficult but potentially very rewarding.

Slam Dunk

In moments of fear and panic, you are prone to giving it your all while leaving yourself winded afterwards.

Stunning the killer with a pallet will increase the stun duration by 1.5 seconds, and you will receive the exhausted status effect for 60/50/40 seconds. (Enduring would work to help counteract this perk)

Clear Vision

This perk, Clear Vision, removes all visual altering effects from the survivor. This includes vision blindness from Deep Wounds, vomit on the screen from Plague, the torment from Pyramid Head, Clown bottles, Doctor Madness, etc. Note: It doesn't remove the effects of these powers, but it does remove the vision altering aspect. Clown bottle? Still hindered. Plague vomit? Still broken. Doctor's madness? Still see hallucinations. If this was in the game, I'd take off ds for it.

Yeah, extremely strong for the first minute but then leaves you with one less perk. It's like a more high risk/reward version of Corrupt Intervention. Great idea.

Got 3 Killer ones for you, thought about them a lot and they are from a post I did earlier.

3 Killer perks:

You ever been in a situation where you can't swing a three gen, but pop is just not enough pressure to keep the game rolling? How about a perk that lets you swap progress with another gen?

After kicking a generator, this perk activates. The kicked gen is immediately put into the corrupt state after five seconds have passed, whatever generator the killer is staring at will have its progress swapped. This does not begin regression on EITHER gen, only swaps the gens. This will not synergize with pop, in order for that to happen you will have to kick the gen a second time. cooldown for perk is 120/105/90 seconds. (that is if we are still even doing tiers at this point expect a similar sentiment for the rest of the perks)

Kind of lame that only one killer can get hook progress without having to pick the survivor up... lets fix that shall we.

For every generator repaired, and when the end game collapse begins, the killer receives one stack of this perk. When the required amount of stacks is achieved, they can be consumed to summon a phantom hook on a downed survivor. After channeling for 3 seconds, a phantom hook will be summoned at the location of the survivor to instantly hook them. After a survivor is rescued from the hook, the hook will be destroyed. Survivors being healed cannot be channeled, and a survivor cannot be healed after channeling has begun. Tokens consumed per summon is 4/3/2.

Totems are lame. Survivors are always breaking my damn totems, but it takes to long to stop them even if I know they are working on it. I feel completely helpless and I certainly don't want to constantly drop chases and lose the game defending my totems. What to do, what to do... I got it, I will do it for them.

A blue hex totem is spawned and cleansing it does not remove this perk. Every time a survivor cleanses a totem, you gain one stack of this perk. For each stack of this perk the killers movement speed is semi-permanently increased by 1%/1.5%/2% for dull totems. If a hex totem is cleansed, one stack of bloodlust is also gained. Upon a generators completion, 1 stack will be removed.

There are NO NEGATIVE STACKS.

The killer can no longer see hex totem auras

The killer can kick their own totems, doing so to hex totems removes their assigned perks.

Now I just need names for these...

I'm the one you want

When you see a survivor in trouble you feel compelled to help,

When the killer breaks line of sight for 3 seconds from another survivor while you're in it, gain a 10% speed boost for 5/6/7 seconds

I like the idea of this as it could be good for how I like to play of distracting the killer after an unhook. It would also encourage more save plays in higher ranks but the killer can exploit this as some will get greedy and try and activate it for the sake of a speed boost.

I would donate my firstborn child and a few kidneys for a perk that helps you escape chase. Maybe obscure the killer's screen with blood for a few seconds after being hit, so you can make a sleazy getaway without them knowing everywhere you go.

OMG! I love making perks! I have a ton of Survivor (and a few Killer) OCs! Hope yall don't mind if I share some? Some of them are older and a bit outdated, but still...

(Below the Spoiler! I only posted the three Unique perks of two of my characters.)

Killer Perk:

After hooking all but 1 remaining survivors, that survivor becomes the obsession and their aura is revealed to you. After you hook that survivor, this effect transfers to the survivor that hasn't been on a hook for the longest time. This perk deactivates, when only 3/2/1 survivors are alife.

good for getting that last bbq stack or finding the blendette that keeps hiding

I've made some perks for a Killer OC of mine, including one I really wish was in the game.

EYE FOR AN EYE: You punish those who put others in harm's way for their own gain. If a Survivor unhooks another Survivor within 14 metres of you and inside of your Terror Radius, the rescuer becomes Exposed for 10/15/20 seconds. The rescued Survivor sprints 20% faster for this duration.

It could be good against Borrowed Time, but most importantly, it'd stop Survivors from farming their teammates. I hate when someone unhooks their teammate right in front of me and just leaves them to die. It would sort of work like a reverse Make Your Choice. Making the "rescuer" Exposed is very powerful, but I feel like the speed boost balances it, allowing the rescued Survivor to make a quick getaway. I also added "inside of your Terror Radius", so Killers using stealth-based Powers or Perks can't just camp the hook and instantly down the rescuer.

I'm currently working on a pitch for an "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" themed chapter. I'm having trouble thinking of good perk ideas for the Gatherer, but I came up with these 3 perks for Daniel:

DISCOVERY:

When you cleanse a totem, the aura of another random totem will be revealed to you for 20/25/30 seconds.

CARRY ON:

Carry On activates on your first hook state.

If you are unhooked within 8/10/12 seconds after the start of your Struggle Phase, the next time your are hooked will be considered your second hook state.

If you are unhooked before your Struggle Phase begins, Carry On will be deactivated for the rest of the Trial.

LIGHT THE WAY OUT:

Unlocks the ability to open the Hatch without a Key as long as you are the last Survivor remaining in the Trial.

If you are within a range of 4/8/12 meters of the Hatch, the Aura of the Hatch will be revealed to you and all remaining Survivors.
