Kill Switch update: The issue affecting Baermar Uraz's Ugly Sweater has been fixed and the cosmetic has been reenabled in all queues with this update.

Whoever suggested this gen delaying perk, I love you, but I'd like to make another proposal.

I forget who on here proposed this idea, but there was someone who came up with a gen-slowing perk idea that I really liked. It went along the lines of whenever someone was hooked, it would make all gens not being worked on start regressing, and gens being worked on would lose 6/8/10% regression.

I love the idea, but I'd suggest to combine the effects on all gens, no matter if they're being worked on or not. This would give killers an alternative to Ruin, and it would reward good play on the killer's end (ending chases quickly would stall the gens for longer). Any thoughts or suggestions?

    This would have a great chance to be mortally abused. It could promote camping as it now forces people to save hooked survivors in order to progress. Any killer with a brain will simply wait for the sheep to come.

    i am sure everyone is saying “just work on gens whole camp lolol.” Realistically, how often does that REALLY happen in game? I have seen people swarm hooks a million times when there is a face camp. 

    It it could be viable in a SWF due to comms, but with a group of randoms it would be a severe hindrance.

    It should be per survivor hooked or injured a gen regresses 2%/5s and each upgrade would either give it an extra %or two or decrease the amount of seconds to lose that % (and that effect is applied to 1 gen per survivor that falls under those category i.e. 2 injured survivors and 1 hooked that is 3 gens regressing)

    This is more of a rework idea for Thanatophobia tbh. But it did give me an idea of making my idea more like 2% times the amount of time you've hooked a survivor on all gens. This gives you more incentive to not camp and keep going around and hooking the survivors, which seems to be the big concern with this idea from other people.

    I would stack it with Ruin and Overcharge, or Pop Goes The Weasel, probably. I'd have weeks to kill the survivors at that point.

    This is why we need the lol button. Take a second and think about that perk for longer then 2 seconds and you’ll see why it’s a bad idea.
