Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Bring back Technician!

Let's be real, who actually remembers Technician other than it's Feng's perk? When was the last time it was used by someone other than a new player (besides me cuz I hold onto things of old)? Technician in it's current state is not good. It got shadow nerfed AGES ago to have really no benefit for the drawback. Any player that consistently is on survivor could identify why Technician is not a good perk. Even players who play killer more often know it's not a good perk.

In older patches of DBD, Technician used to be one of the most enjoyable stealth perks in the game (to me at least)! I know it mechanically did not silence the player's gen repairs but it may as well have! That silence allowed for aggressive stealth gameplay, like repairing a generator right underneath a killer's nose, building this tension on whether you will get caught or not. For me, I like to play the game as this tense game of hide and seek where you don't want to get caught but you need to achieve your objective. You need to take risks that may get you caught and Technician made that risk even more intense!

Simply put, I just want the perk to silence gen repairs again. I feel THAT benefit is worthy of it's drawback, plus it would be a stealth perk that would continue to encourage the players using it to work on generators. And to be clear, I don't want gen progress silenced, just a Technician user's repair noises. I want to have fun with this perk again! (It would virtually be the same perk, just silent repairs would make the game fun for players who enjoyed the aggressive stealth play)
