I DON'T KNOW WHY

But I feel like, in the past, this perks , when it was active, touch ALL gen, and not the one one with the most progression...

I say that because, when I see the nerf who gonna happen for this perks... I was wondering... At this point, if the perks work now with token, why left him be a scourge hook and not a "normal" perk?making him to touch every gen with progression.. It's no point that you have to find a white hook, using it only four times

Plus... If dev want to adress something about tunnel... Why not take rid of the tokens, and making him working ONLY if the killer run after a survivor who are not hooked in the match?

    I agree that I'm curious why it remains a scourge hook perk if it now works with tokens.

    I agree. With it's nerf, it should be a regular hook perk and affect all generators.

    "all generators" - no, not at all. One Hook and instantly up to 45% of overall Gen Progress gone? So 4 Pain Resonance Hooks would have the potential to add up to 2 more Generators to the Trial...


    @Topic:

    I would agree, it should not be a Scourge Hook anymore. Does not really make any sense when you only get 4 uses out of it IT and only works with a newly hooked Survivor (which is good, because it gives an incentive to not tunnel or at least dont hook the same person twice in a row, even tho, tunneling is obviously still better) then the Killer should not have to rely on RNG.

    Yes, that make no sensE anymore to be a scourge hook... Because, you got two problem here

    1- Like I said, you have to find a scourge hook near you, and only for four times, it's the only one where you got that

    2- Litterally ... Why the killer have to quit this hook? He can just camp , waiting for the other survivor for saving his teammate, and hook the new (or even, tunnel the old one) for using the same hook again, four times..

    if it was a normal hook perk and you're limited to 4 times usage what if you are in a situation where gens have little progress or you know Survivors are currently not on gens it'd be like using pop on a low percent gen but the difference is you get to use pop a lot of times and decide which gen should take priority but with pain res being a normal hook perk you'll have situations where you'll lose tokens and not get any real value.

    so imo keeping it as a scourge gives you the option when you wanna use it.

    When you play with scourge hook, you are like a Moth

    The hook is shiny, YOU WANT to use it... E-VE-RY-TI-MES

    It's too shiny to not decorate it with some dead meat
