Survivor Perk Buffs

•Overcome

Any time the on hit speed boost is activated Overcome is triggered:

• Extends the duration of the On-hit Speed Boost by +2 seconds.
• The Perk has a cool down of 20 seconds. While on cooldown the player will suffer from the exhausted status effect.

Creator Notes: Overcome has a strong reward but had little use due to its competition with other exhaustion perks. This change makes overcome no longer work like other exhaustion perks while still ensuring that this perk can not be paired immediately with another exhaustion perk to create large distance between the killer & survivor. We also wanted to provide players a ways to get use with overcome even when injured.

•Iron Will

• Reduces the volume of grunts of pain by 100% for a maximum of 80 seconds when injured
• Anytime your aura is shown an additional 20 seconds will be added to Iron Will
• Iron will cannot surpass the maximum 80 seconds

Creator Notes: Iron Will initially gave the player little reason to choose other perks that also provided the benefit of suppress grunts of pain making it the go to perk to stay quiet. With this change we allow this perk to shine a bit more while also not dethroning other choices to suppress survivor grunts.

•We're gonna live forever

• increasing maximum tokens to 3

Creator Notes: We're gonna live forever is a strong perk that provides strong plays. Increasing the token allows survivors to pick up their teammates without feeling like they are giving up the secondary power of the perk.

•Plot Twist

While crouching and motionless press the active ability button to enter the dying state. Your aura will now be hidden by all survivors and the perk Icon will replace the survivor portrait during this time.

Creator Notes: Plot twist is a high risk high reward perk. It is difficult for players however to know if another survivor was downed by the killer or if plot twist is active. Causing players to leave the objective and help protect other players. With this change and the added information we hope to allow less scenarios where a survivor may have to plot twist again or pull other players away from other tasks.

•This Is Not Happening

• Increases the great skill check success zone while Repairing and Healing by 10/20/30 % when in the Injured State.
• Hitting great skill checks while this perk is active will give the player a token. cannot accumulate more then 4 tokens
• Once at 4 tokens the next great skill check you hit will provide an additional 4% of progress on healing or repairing

This Is Not happening gives an additional 1% on hitting great skill checks while active.

Creator Notes: This Is Not Happening is a perk that helps out newer players but underperforms when compared to the wide variety of other perks. The new added benefits allows the perk to compete against other choices while not losing it's overall identity.

•Deadline

Removed the criteria of being injured.

• Increase the odds of triggering a skill check by 25 % while repairing or healing
  Hitting Great skill checks provides the player a speed boost by 2% until the next skill check is triggered
  • Causes Skill Checks to appear in random places.
• Reduces the penalty for missed Skill Checks by -25%

Creator Notes: Deadline is one of those perks that has a lot of potential but has fallen low in pick rate due to its criteria to activate while injured and small benefit while also tackling more difficult skill checks. With this change we hope to give the player more of a reason to tackle more difficult skill checks while also being better rewarded.
