I get it would be unfair I would expect the the lose of progress I'm supposed to lose but technician is supposed to prevent the gen from exploding I was on that gen alone why did it blow up.

    What perks did the killer have?

    Honestly I'd be happy if they buffed Technician just so that you don't lose an additional amount of progress on top of a missed skill check.

    Bite the Bullet is basically the same thing except for healing skill checks and it doesn't have an additional regression penalty for missed skill checks. For being a beginner friendly perk Technician is very punishing.

    In its current state you can grief your fellow survivor teammates by purposely missing skill checks and reducing the progress of the gen more than they can repair it, that's how much it chunks off. It's ridiculous.

    The Scourge hook that blows up the gen.

    I agree 100%.


    There should be no risk involved, it's already a dead perk.


    Here's what it should do:


    Suppress explosions caused by your failed skill checks.

    Generators you work on have 30/60/90% reduced audio and have reduced visual cues.

    Generator pistons move much slower as you actively repair.


    Then at least the perk would do SOMETHING.

    Wrong, it's supposed to prevent you from making a loud noise notification which it does. Not "prevent a generator from blowing up".

    it really should prevent the explosion sound, but not cancel out the regression from killer perks.


    and it would open up the meta to more variety now that scrounge hook perks are actually pretty popular on the killer side. not to mention all the other perks that make gens explode. i

    I see.

    Yeah, that might actually be a decent buff to technician, as long as it doesn’t prevent the regression. It REALLY needs to lose the additional regression penalty after a failed skillcheck though.
