Some Perks I Would Love To See Buffed (And How I Would Buff Them)...

Scourge Hook: Hangman's Trick

SH: Hangman's Trick was clearly trying to push the perk into a defense perk for your Scourge Hooks, before it's effect only applied to normal hooks but changing it to Scourge Hooks gives it limited utility, I think expanding upon what is already there can help this perk stand out a bit more.

New Effect:

Scourge Hook: Hangman's Trick reveals the aura of any Survivors within 10/13/16-meters of a Scourge Hook (applies without the need to care a Survivor).

Additionally, Scourge Hooks are not destroyed when a Survivor is sacrificed on them.


Blood Hound

Blood Hound's effect acts as a tracking perk but often does not provide enough utility to be used since Blood can often be covered up by terrain or grass, I think the concept is good but it needs a bit more refining.

New Effect:

Blood Hound makes Blood left behind by a Survivor glow a bright white, this Blood can be seen through obstructions up to 10/15/20-meters as long as you are not in a chase.


This Cannot Be Happening

This Cannot Be Happening is there to buff the Survivor when injured to provide a much needed boost to their gameplay, however it's current boost is often lackluster compared to other effects like Resilience leading to it not being picked often.

New Effect:

While Injured, the Great Skill Check Zone is 50/60/70% larger, hitting a Great Skill Check grants an additional 1/1.5/2% Progress and a 10% boost to Action Speed for 10 seconds.


Urban Evasion

Urban Evasion is a stealth perk but often has no utility outside of it's current effect. Many people consider this perk to be a hinderance especially when other perks like Fixated/Self-Aware provide a better effect and utility.

New Effect:

Your movement speed while crouching is increased by 100%. While crouching, you recover from negative status effects 5/10/15% quicker (stacks with other effects).

    The suggestion for This is not happening and Urban Evasion looks good, but I think the effects of Hangman's trick and Bloodhound would be still too minor. I think these two might need total rework.

    I like the Urban and Bloodhound changes but This Is Not Happening would be broken. 10% for 10 seconds is massive, especially with toolboxes or Hyperfocus to give you more skill checks. Pair it with Resilience and Deju Vu and that's 25% bonus speed plus whatever the toolbox would give you..

    The 2% bonus is also too good. Pair it with Stake Out's extra bonus and Hyperfocus and gens will fly. And with it being 70% larger you'll never struggle to hit those Hyperfocus skill checks so everyone is just going to be repairing gens at an insane speed.
