A quick Blast Mine question
A quick perk question I shouldn't have to ask but whoever writes the perk descriptions isn't good at it.
What does "After repairing Generators for a total of 66%" mean?

If a gen has 100 charges, you need to repair 66 charges from ANY gen in order to proc Blast Mine.

Pretty much as Pulsar said. Something to note, the perk only counts repairs made by yourself. Helping another survivor with a gen will not make the perk activate faster.

So you just need the equivalent of 66% of one gen's worth of repairs to activate it and I guess that can be spread across several gens.
I'm not crazy in thinking that "After repairing Generators for a total of 66%" is not clear at all, right?

It seems pretty clear to me. 100% of something is all of it. So 66% is just; "Repair a gen for just over half of its total progress".

"[...] whoever writes the perk descriptions isn't good at it."
That's rude. It happens not to understand something, it doesn't mean it wasn't clear at the beginning.
You could just have asked the meaning of the perk instead of saying the one who write it "isn't good at it".

Honestly though, as a writer, a lot of the descriptions in this game are incredibly complex for no reason. Just look at For The People, or Aftercare. They could be explained so easily but are really janky-looking.

It's between gens, not just one gen

This except generators have 80 charges, so you need to repair any generator for an equivalent of 52.8 seconds.

I feel like it should say 52.8 seconds (or rounded to 53) instead of 66%. Saying 66% is ambiguous and makes it sound like it will charge faster while cooperating with a teammate, while 53s makes it clear it will not activate faster.

I'd does charge faster with a brand new part install, both blast mine and flashbangs do, as well as faster with toolbox repair
