Remote hook should become a future killer perk

They aren't going to do anything for survivors....that much is evident!! I guess they just don't cry enough

This is a good idea. I really like this feature and it would be so cool if this could become a perk.

Good idea, hooking in general is a huge waste of time so being able to reduce the time wasted is a huge QOL

hex perk sounds lame because hexes can be cleansed at very start of the trial. Maybe it is just a perk that starts with 3 tokens and nothing else.

It shouldn't exist at all. It discourages interaction between killer and survivors and there are already perks to prevent body blocking and sabo squads that punish those playstyles without removing interaction.

If there is a perks to prevent those kind of things, there is not a problem in having a perk to prevent interaction

Or you can make it other way around

Like "When you are using this perk, survivors will be hooked in random hooks, can't be shown as an aura, will teleport randomly if you stay close, and will not notify you when unhooked"

Ive found it works in a way that you can send someone to a hook before a flashlight has time to even blind you. And it would completely counter hook sabotage like lightborn counters blinds. It might end up a little strong for an anti bully squad build. Currently in the event you can only use it once, with a very long cooldown with recharging charges. Usualy the only time survivors have to finnish generators are when someones in chase or the killer is carrying someone to a hook. With one of those cut out in regular matches the killer might save too much time, especially on something like blight n nurse thatl see everyone once they throw someone to a hook instantly and can alredy go flying at everyone else

In theory the idea is nice, in practice it would be rather gamebreaking without some heavy drawbacks. The time it takes to hook is factored into the overall time alotted for survivors. If the killer now needs anything between 5 and 16 seconds less to hook regularly that's a lot less time survs have for anything else.

The effective immunity to nearly any and all anti-hook measures survs can take also seems like Pyramid Head's cages on steroids.

Limiting use to tokens is a good start - but making them recharge by chase is effectively rewarding bad chases and negates a good chase on surv side that is essentially a prerequisite early match to not get steamrolled. Differently put: The killer is supposed to be at a disadvantage early game because the killer naturally gets more pressure over the course of the match; the map effectively shrinks, resources dwindle and survs get eliminated. Such a perk would get the killer on pretty much equal footing early game, and thus be absolutely busted mid and late game.

I'd argue for tokens tied to gen progress; for each completed gen you get a token up to a maximum of four. If your first chase really lasted that long and it's because of that one specific survivor you overcommited then that should be plenty to make a comeback with the time and pressure you gained from that hook and the subsequent one. If you were, indeed, outmatched and the subsequent chase also takes a long time, then you have been outmatched and shouldn't get more than a draw. A perk should never allow you to punch above your weight.

I'd put that hypothetical perk into the "comeback" category - and if that's a category opened for killer it also ought to be opened for surv. Correct me if I'm wrong but safe for (maybe) We'll make it, survs don't really have a perk that can facilitate a comeback (and even We'll make it has a huge question mark; it can turn things around if you get lucky and get a whole round of resets through in record time - but that "if" is a pretty big one.)

If it works on survivors on the ground you could tunnel and not proc ds if the survivors have ds tho. Thats why pyramid head is such a good tunneler cause he can do that when survivors are tormented.

Plus you would still get bonuses from hooking perks like pop, grim, no way out, etc since you're hooking the survivor unlike pyramid head which needs to use a cage.

1. That is why I said teleport the survivor to an actually random hook, and hide the hook aura from the killer. Pyramid Head tunnels easily because the hook really isn't random, and if the killer tries to run across the map, they'll usually find the caged survivor there.
2. The perk can be written so that killers don't get any perk activations from remote hooking.
3. It's fine if a perk can deny DS. Survivors being able to DS isn't a 100% requirement of killer perks. Also, the perk can be written so it counts as a hook for the purposes of survivor perks, which means that it's better than cage of atonement for every other survivor hook-related perk.
4. According to the logic many people on these forums, this perk idea would be a buff for the survivors, because if they can't do things like hook sabotages, then they'll work on generators instead, which is more important for them to do. Therefore, this perk idea should be fine.

They should give Freddy the instahook power when a carried survivor is in the dream world (With say a 60 seconds cooldown).

Another idea is that the killer needs to pick up the survivor and wait a second before activating the remote hook, but this remote hook forbids survivors from self-unhooking. That would turn it into an anti-slugging perk for the killer.

Every night that I play the normal mode of DBD as killer, I'm stuck bleeding out multiple survivors, because they've done something that prevents me from getting them to a hook. It would be nice to be able to remote hook them, instead of just having them bleed out on the ground. This would allow survivors to do their pallet saves or flashlight saves, or DS, or whatever.

And yes, this would save time for the killer, but generator slowdown and generator blocking perks also give killers more time, and this would be an way to give killers time without slowing down the game for the survivors.

Yeah, I don't think it's a good idea. It's a fun thing to do during the event, but balance wise, it would most likely be overtuned, or completely underwhelming.

Really nice as killer but this is soooo strong. Don´t know if they can balance this.

Lets see it nerfs Background players, any Sabotage, Flashlights, Flashbangs, Boil over and similar perks to near useless items and all their perks related to it. As much I think SWF bully groups abuse many of the mechanics this makes the game serverly killer friendly and it would kill the game.
