•Can the guards insta down survivors if survivors have the exposed status effect?

•What perks work with Guards? Example: Does Force Hesitation, Forced Penance, Thwack, etc work if a guard does any of the required actions?

    Guards cannot instant down.

    Any perk that triggers on a health state loss will work with his Guards. Perks that require a Basic Attack, like Sloppy, will not work.

    The assassin inflicts deep wounds with his attacks, so perks that work with that (most recently: MFT) will be affected.

    Guards cannot instadown a survivor in any way, the closest you get is with a double hit from the guard and yourself (and god does it feel GOOD when you pull it off, specially when its frame perfect)

    Like mentioned earlier, any perk that requires Basic Attack WONT work for the guards, such as NOED.

    Spirit Fury: Doesnt work for the guards, the perk only counts if you are the one breaking the pallet directly.

    Gen Kicking Perks: Same as above, kicking gens with the guards wont apply the effects of the perks.


    Regarding the Guards themselves, each one has different perks:

    Carnifex: Hunts double the time than the others, and breaks stuff considerably faster (almost instantly).

    Assassin: Moves faster on the hunt, and when hitting a healthy survivor it will apply deep wound on them.

    Jailer: Has a considerably bigger detection radious, and patrols for a longer time.

    Forced Hesitation works and is an extremely powerful perk on Knight as it allows you and your guards to combo hits with each other if either of you gets a down next to another survivor.

    Forced Penance also works but I'm not sure about Thwack.

    Gen regression perks will not work when ordering a guard to break a gen but Surveillance works like normal after a guard has finished breaking a gen. You can also run PGTW and decide which gen to use it on by kicking the priority gens yourself for the extra regression and ordering your guards to break the others so you can conserve PGTW until you want to use it.
