Knock out NEEDS TO GO.

GensByDaylight · August 2023

Knock out is a perk from Bubba that prevents other survivors from seing your aura when downed if not within a small radius.

This perk is outright unhealthy for the game, its almost like eruption, as it does nothing to SWF but hurts solo q. It also has the "wait it out" feeling where you have to sit there and wait for 1-4 minutes.

There is no reason for this perk to exist. No one would complain if it was removed and DBD would be slightly healthier if it was changed.

you don't have enough perks to stand up?

I must have seen killers use this perk in maybe two games in the past year. Are you really seeing it used that regularly that it is a big enough issue that the perk must be removed from the game?

Can you not just crawl into open space and wiggle so they can find you?

EDIT: I looked at killer perk usage and Knock Out has a pick rate of 0.67%. So hardly any killers use it.

It was probably just bad luck, but getting bled out 3 times in the past 2 nights by killers with knock out is very boring.

I did crawl into the open, but the average solo q teamates did not care to get out/off of their lockers/chests/totems.

Well hopefully it was just a bit of bad luck, and according to the stats, you shouldn't see it again for a long time!

Thanks for the tip, I will now run Knockout.

I agree, it should’ve been changed a long time ago. Luckily not many killers use it.

The aura disabling should have a timer to it, like its other effects. That's all it needs.

It's kind of a boring perk. Maybe they could rework it into something more spicy.

Unbreakable exist btw.

Also, the last time I got slapped by Knock out was....

forever ago? The perk is fine.

Sure, if they remove "made for this" in exchange.

It needs to be made that once a survivor is downed the next survivor downed gets the effects but the previous survivor no longer has it. Been having issues with that perk also lately.

Hmmmm... this is literally top of my head, but how would people feel if this perk lost the allies cant see your aura effect, and instead slowed recovery/healing from dying rate by 40%?

Or perhaps blocks endurance for 45 secs or something
