Community Challenge, be creative - Design your own Perk

Killer Perk: Excommunicado

If one fails... we all do.

After a survivor fails a safe hook rescue, all survivors are given the exposed status effect for 10/15/20 seconds.

LOL This would be so great if it was more like "Players who are not within the killer's terror radius cannot interact with pallets, with the exception of survivors using the perk Any Means Necessary to reset already-dropped pallets."

MY perk would be something more along the lines of "Whenever a survivor is hooked, the fog within x/x/x meters of the hook grows increasingly thick if the killer is within x/x/x meters of it." It would be really helpful in maybe discouraging killers from camping/ circling hooked survivors quite so closely, imo. Imagine you're playing against a Clown main (who I think most survivor mains would agree is one of the more annoying killers to play against. Clown mains almost always seem to facecamp SUPER hard), and they hook their first survivor. I imagine the distances would be about the same for my perk as for a perk like Kindred, where survivors can see the killer's aura if they're within a certain distance of the hook? So imagine the Clown is trying to facecamp the survivor- the closer to the hook they are, the thicker the fog gets (I am imagining it being almost similar to a flashlight blind, but with the killer's field of vision slowly shrinking and going black around the edges until they can see only a sliver of the screen). Not only will that aid survivors in rescuing each other, it will give killers a reason not to just stand around and ruin the game with their crap strategy.

Survivor Perk: I appreciate my life!

You appreciate your own life in such a way that it will give you enough momentum to survive.

Increases movement and jumping speed of windows and paddles by 3/4/5% for 60 seconds each time you enter the INJURED state.

Killer Perk: Come back here!

You will never allow any survivor to make fun of you.

After being stunned, the aura of the survivor that provoked it will be displayed for 5/7/9 seconds and during that time, it will enter into state VULNERAVILITY.

Dexterity - You have weathered previous battles well thus you are built to take a hit A Whilst injured, you have 3% 4% 5% chance that the next melee attack doesn't put you into the dying state.

SURVIVOR PERK: Emboldened

Help your friends, help yourself.

When being chased, this perk activates. Vaulting and Running are now 1/2/3 percent faster.

You also leave no scratch marks every 6/4/2 seconds.

When injured, you leave no blood trails.

Emboldened has a cooldown of 60/50/40

Drag you down

You harness the power of the entity to drag the survivors progress down and keep them from escaping. Once per trial, before all the gens are completed, you can damage a completed generator. Doing so notifies the survivors, who see the aura of the generator for 60/50/40 seconds and brings the generator back to 80/70/60% where it continues to regress normally. This is unaffected by other perks that affect generator regression, such as Oppression, Pop goes the weasel, Hex: Ruin, and any others. P.s. In case you haven’t noticed, this is a killer perk.

New Killer Perk: Literally STBFL but different

Earn a token for each time you hook your obsession. Each token grants a 5% stackable cool-down reduction on successful attacks. You can earn up to 8 tokens. (max 40%)

You gain a new obsession after hooking your current one.

Hooking anyone that is not your obsession will make you lose x tokens.

I just want a perk that would be useful for killers like Plague who can't utilize STBFL as efficiently as Demo or Pig.

Blood in the Water:

(survivor perk)

kind of risk - reward perk

;holding down a button (no idea what one) for 2 seconds with standing in the killers terror radius , keeps your blood from flowing, failing to release the perk again in the next 5/10/15 seconds cause your blood loss to double for 15/16/14 seconds and give a noise indicator to the killer , Blood in the water cant be activated again for 30/25/20 seconds

Bump in the night"

(killer perk)

standing still for 2? seconds , reveals blood/scratch marks that have already disappeared 5/7/10 seconds ago

Killer Hex: Coldest Winter-

The cold unmakes everything.

You become obsessed with one survivor. 

After 3/2/1 generator is completed, a random dull totem lights up if there is one. 

Your obsession suffers the exposed status effect. 

Putting the obsession into the dying state with a basic attack shifts the obsession to another random survivor if there is one. 

If at anytime the obsession is killed, this hex totem instantly breaks. 

The Hex effects persist as long as the related Hex Totem is standing.

Untouchable- 

Every 40/35/30 seconds, one of the following randomly occurs:

-The closest window to you is blocked for 10 seconds.

-The closest pallet to you is blocked for 5 seconds. 

-The farthest generator from you is blocked, if it is not being repaired, for 15 seconds.

You see the aura of whatever is blocked in white.

Eclipsed- 

You must suppress the light. 

Earn a token for each concurrently regressed generator by your own hand. Eclipsed can earn up to 3 total tokens.

For each token, you damage generators 8/9/10% faster.

1 Token- Generators regress 75% faster.

2 Tokens- Survivors repairing generators suffer from the oblivious status effect.

3 Tokens- You gain a 10% haste status effect within 15 meters of generators regressed by your own hand. 

Ohhh, I have one interesting one

Perk: Body guard. Anyone who comes between you or your friend's way will be punished. While running, press the Active Ability button to dart backward. If the killer is in range, stun the killer for 3 seconds. Causes the Exhausted status effect for 60/50/40 Seconds. Body Guard cannot be used while Exhausted. Body guard can only be used while within 4/6/8 meters of another survivor

Killer Perk: House of Pain

Whenever you injure a survivor with a basic attack that survivor will suffer from the oblivious status effect until fully healed.

Perseverance: You've got a goal set in stone, and won't let anything stop you. While standing within 12/15/20 meters killer and are not in a chase you will heal over the course of 20/10/15 seconds.

Finders Keepers: Only becomes active upon starting a trial (Not pre game) You use all that is available to you. Allows a survivor to carry, use, switch, and possibly escape with 2 items, and decreases item consumption by 10/12/15%

Finders Keepers was a perk idea I made with my original DLC Depths Forgotten back in July of 2019, and Perseverance was an idea I came up with recently. Hopefully you guys like them!

Do you mean expose in the meaning of their auras become visible or the status effect 'exposed'?

hello everyone! Here i have 3 killer perks and 3 survivor perks, that are fitted for my war at hell chapter idea, featured in my profile.

Hope you like them!

KILLER PERKS

Postraumatic stress: every time a survivor stuns, or blinds you, recieve a token. Each token grants a 2/3/4% extra movement speed in chases, up to a máximum of 2/4/6 tokens.

Panic Atack: every time a survivor is inflicted by any status effect, his repair, healing, sabotaging, cleansing and searching speed is reduced by a 2/4/6%.

War Regulations: You become obsessed with one survivor. When you hit your obsession, all survivors within 16 meters will scream, revealing their location, and any generators in range that had progress will start regressing

SURVIVOR PERKS:

Radiography: when you or your teammates are recovering from the dying state, all survivors will see the killers aura until fully recovered.

Postoperatory Rest: after completely repairing a generator while injured, you will fully heal after 15/12/10 seconds. This also aplies to all injured survivors that are reparing along with you.

Quick Pause: when you or your teammates are hooked, the killer will no longer see the generators aura until that survivor is unhooked.

Bro I love that perk, that would so good on Wraith, Ghost Face and Plague! I really hope they add yours in!

Sounds far to me

I have a roulette perk but don't have a name for it

through your trials you have abilities you don't remember

can see all survivors auras at all times but have a 10% action speed penalty

can see all hook auras at all times and always sabotage them but have a 20% decreased hook timer

can see the killers aura at all times but have a 5% movement speed penalty

can run 5% faster at all times but can only aura read aura flares and pools of devotions (only at perk level 2 and onward)

have endurance unless in deep wound and goes on cooldown after used unless you get downed or fully healed at the cost of a hook state (only at perk level 3)

these perks each have a 20% chance of happening and only one happens at a time

3 Survivor perks.

Now or Never: Under normal circumstances, you cannot recover while in the dying state. When someone is on the hook, you can recover fully and you recover 10/15/20% faster than normal for each person on a hook.

Braced for the Worst: When you are affected by the Exposed status effect and healthy, being hit with a basic attack will put you into the injured state instead, and you will be afflicted by the Broken and Deep Wounds status effects. You have 10/15/20 seconds to mend from Deep Wounds and you stay Broken until the next time you are put into the dying state.

Compensating Competence: When another survivor fails a skill check while you are working on a generator with them, the generator explosion is delayed and you face a very difficult skill check. If you succeed the skill check, the generator does not explode. If you fail the skill check, the generator then explodes and loses an additional 10/5/0% progress.

Might need to be limited to within range of an injured survivor, but this is actually a fairly balanced perk idea on paper, especially if the killer can hit you while you're in the dash animation and it isn't a Dead Hard equivalent.

Architecture of the Fog

The entity has studied the hatch's design, carefully emulating it to fight against its power. When the hatch would spawn, a second hatch also spawns within x radius of the nearest survivor. If a survivor has a key, it spawns closest to them instead. The killer can see the aura of this second hatch. If a survivor attempts to leave through this hatch, the entity's claws burst forth, causing nearby survivors to scream and reveal their location to the killer.

While the second hatch is open, the actual hatch is quieter by 25/50/75%.

I got a year's worth of perks.

Survivor Perks:

I imagined a witchy kind of survivor, like a magic voodoo person or like an oracle.

-Blessing: Ward of Persistence

Instead of cleansing the hex or dull totems, the survivor instead places a blessing on the totem at xx% the speed of cleansing, signified by a blue flame under the totem.

While a blessed totem is active, all team members can continue to perform actions while in the dying state at xx% speed while within xx m of the blessed totem. This includes Repairing, Healing, Sabotage, Unhooking, Cleansing, Exit Gate Opening, and Chest Unlocking.

The Killer can destroy the blessed totems if they find them, the same way they kick a gen or destroy a pallet.

-Cleansing Spirit

While in the killer's terror radius, the survivor can block off the totem from being cleaned or destroyed by any other survivor or killer, only allowing the user to interact with the totem for xx seconds. During this time, the survivor can walk away from the totem without having to restart cleansing or blessings.

Cleansing Spirit had a cooldown of xxx seconds.

This was for a survivor who used to be in prison.

-Catching the Chain

Once you have escaped through the Exit Gates, your remaining health states will be given out randomly to the remaining survivors.

-Enlightened Surveyor

The survivor destroys / blesses totems, giving them tokens. After looking at an objective at any time during the match, it becomes tracked.

The survivor can then spend a token by entering a locker, with each tracked objective lighting up for the duration of the time the survivor is in the locker.

Killer Perks:

I just thought of a killer who used to be a lawyer or something for this one.

This one is for a hacker killer.

When both exit gates are powered, the lever next to each exit gate opens the opposite door. Once opened, the aura of both exit gates are shown to the survivors. Yellow showing the opened gate and red showing the closed gate.

-Hex: Hardware Malfunction

While repairing a kicked gen, it is xx% more likely that a skill check will occur. When a skill check does occur, no great skill check zone will appear. If the skill check is accomplished, the generator will regress by xx%; however failing the skill check will act as a Great Skill Check, but still cause the generator to explode.

-CTRL+X

When a survivor sabotages a hook, they suffer from the Deep Wound status affect. Once mended, the survivor will return to their previous health state . (ie. if you were injured, you'll still be injured and if you were healthy when hit you will remain healthy after mending)

This was for a stay-at-home spouse or teacher who went insane and killed their family or students.

Perk

Revengeance (Name can use some work)

You lust for the blood of those who hurts you. Every stun like pallet stuns, flashlight saves, and wiggling free. Will result the survivor responsible for the stun will have their aura shown to you for 10 seconds, and will receive the "Exposed" status effect for 30 seconds. If you put the survivor in the dying state before the 30 second period runs out, you are given the opportunity to mori the survivor.

These are all survivor perks:

INGENIOUS WORK:

You don’t like it when someone breaks your progress for fun, even when you’ve worked so hard on it.

Every time the killer breaks a generator that you’ve worked on; the generator progresses instead of regressing for 10/15/20 seconds.

The aura is shown in yellow when the generator progresses.

If the action is interrupted by another survivor, the generator explodes, reducing 4/7/10% and the entity will block the generator for 30 seconds. 

There is a 120/90/60 second cooldown.

DEVIANT:

You used to always be the teacher’s pet, but this time, it’s your time to make up the rules.

You become the killer’s obsession. 

Every time you stun or blind a killer (head on, decisive strike), the perk activates. 

The next time you stun the killer with a PALLET, your stun lasts 1.5/2/2.5 second(s) longer.

Once successfully used, the Exposed Status Effect is applied to you for 15 seconds.

BOOK SMART:

Your book smart ways have made you able to manoeuvre through survival in high school.

When in a chase and not injured, the window that should be blocked by the entity is instead open for you for another use. 

Once you have used the window, it will be blocked again for an extra 30 seconds. The perk goes on cooldown for 120/90/60 seconds.

LET’S END THIS:

In the end, you will always survive, no matter how the odds.

You are given three traps; you can lay your traps down with the active ability button for 4/3/2 seconds. When the killer walks into the trap, they are stuck for 5 seconds. You become the killer’s obsession once a trap is successfully used.

Once all traps are used the perk deactivates for the rest of the trial.

LIFEGUARD:

Keeping people out of danger is what invigorates you to survive.

You unhook survivors 35/40/45% faster. 

When they are unhooked, you and the unhooked survivor gain a speed boost of 150% of your regular speed for 3 seconds as soon as you both start running.

You and survivor will lose the speed boost if you don't run after 25 seconds. 

You gain the Exhausted status effect for 60/50/40 seconds.

ON CALL:

When others are down and out, you always find a way for them to feel better. 

Start the trial with a First Aid Kit/Emergency Med Kit/Ranger’s Med Kit, with a total of 38/42/46 charges available to the med kit.

Healing is 35/35/35% faster on other survivors. 

Healing is 35/35/35% slower on you. 

When you finish healing a survivor with your med kit, the killer’s aura is shown to all remaining survivors in the trial for 4/6/8 seconds.

If you survive the trial, you will keep the med kit with the regular charges available to that specific med kit. 

If you are sacrificed or killed, you don’t keep the med kit.

Let me know which one is your favourite! :)
