Is there any perk that you thought did something completely different as a noob?

For me I thought that borrowed time would transfer the damage from the unhooked to the unhooker.

I didn't know what totems were so I thought hex's were OP

I thought Autodidact gave you a flat speed bonus to your healing speed.
I thought Thrill of the Hunt alerted killers of your exact location when you tried to blow up a totem.

I thought teachable perks where additional perk slots for that particular character lol, so I thought you could have 7 in total. I would play as Feng Min and not use any of her base perks because I thought I had unlocked them permanently and wondered why my vault wasn't working haha.
I also thought active totems were traps to give away my position so wouldn't ever cleanse them.

I thought "Exposed" means that the Killer sees my Aura. So Haunted Grounds-->All Survivors are visible for the Killer for a full Minute.

I thought "Exposed" meant that, too, back when I first started playing.😂

I once thought Thanatophobia works on dead Survivors too.

I thought that teachable perks transfer to other players. So if I unlock that teachable, everyone who plays with me learns that perk from me. To be fair, though, the ######### German translation makes it sound like that.

I thought OoO allowed just you to see the killer
Found out wrong when a hag kept finding me when I looked at her

I thought Ruin would actually help stop the genrush at high ranks

I thought Iron Maiden would let me see survivors in the lockers, like okay they changed the aura reading mechanic and offer now a counter...but nooo.
And Thanatophobia would work with dead survivors... because of thanatos=death and phobia = fear...but fear of death don't make you afraid of the death...nooo.

Thought Boil Over made my wiggle bar speed up quicker. I also thought Plunderers Instinct was only for finding chests.
My ever growing collection of keys and maps is glad that is no longer the case.

My first perk unlocked years ago in the Shrine was Lithe and I forgot, so I always thought Lithe was available as a perk like Deja Vu, or We'll Make It and wondered why it had a Feng comment underneath it.

@CallMeSpidey I was really angry when my Claudette didn’t have dead hard.😂

I didn't understand how Whispers worked for the longest time since the perk says "Sporadically hear the Entity's Whisper when standing within a 48/40/32 metres of a Survivor."
I thought I had to listen for the Entity's voice and could never figure out when it was happening.
Realized at some point the perk icon itself was lighting up whenever someone was nearby and going dim when they weren't.......

I didn't realize you could hit through something like the picket fences on Haddonfield. So if the survivor is too close to them on the other side they will still get hit.

This is a good topic.
Whispers procs for hooked and dying state survivors. That's a fact.
Does anyone know if whispers procs when someone is inside a locker?
And if slugs are treated as "survivors being around", why do killers get camping-penalized when there's one hooked guy and a crawling survivor is near?

Lol. I feel better to know I'm not the only one who thought this. I also thought you ran slower while injured.

Stridor: I thought I will hear survivals breathing...
Reality: I did not hear anything...

I thought Lightborn made you immune to:
- being burnt out of cloak as Wraith
- drop survivors when flashlighted
Turns out it prevents none

I thought No one left behind applied to all unhooks throughout the whole trial

No as a noob but - Thought Boil Over increased the wiggling.
3 -
I thought Strider actually did anything at all.

If I knew as a noob what I know now,
I wouldn't have unlocked almost any teachables, except for 2 or 3.

not exactly a perk, but i had a little misunderstanding with the Trappers Diamondstone Add On...
i literally thought Traps would instakill a survivor with it xD

XD this is awesome!

I thought Boil Over increased your struggle speed, not struggle effects. :(
But hey, at least we have flip-flop! :)

I could swear to God that Boil Over slowed the time to get out of the foe's grasp by 75%. Is that the portuguese translations isn't very explanatory.

I thought small game let you jump over the trapper traps lmao

I thought bond shows u to ur teammates.

i actually thought the game was way more complex, so I thought Botany Knoledge would let you pick up plants around the map to make bandages and stuff, boy was I wrong

I thought technician actually helped with gen repair speed because I was a dummy and didn't read it beforehand lol at the same time I didn't even know self care existed!! I just bought the game and had never been really told about it or watched gameplay I just thought it looked like an awesome game , I wasn't wrong about the awesome game part at least lol

Increases chances of finding rarer items like keys, maps, good medkits and toolboxes.
