Hangman's Trick Buff

Just an idea I had to make Hangman's Trick a little more useful when survivors aren't a sabo-squad:


Hangman's Trick:

Your ingenious modifications to Hooks prevent tampering and permanent damage and make them harder to find.

Hooks destroyed by sabotage or sacrifices repair automatically after 30/20/10 seconds.

Gain a notification when someone starts sabotaging the Hooks.

1/2/3 randomly chosen hooks around the map are special, and highlighted in yellow when you carry a survivor. Hooking a survivor on one of these hooks makes the hooked survivor's aura disappear after 5 seconds. This effect vanishes permanently from that hook if that hook is broken and respawns.

The automatic repair timer of sabotaged Bear Traps is also reduced by 60 seconds.

"No excuses, no equivocations... No crying." — Amanda Young


This makes the perk like a mini Hex: The Third Seal except only on a few hooks and gives it a bit more power... probably not enough to make it broadly used, but at least interesting enough to get some benefit for adept runs and when it comes up in random perk builds.

    It's an interesting idea! I like how it could play out during a match! 😁

    This would make the perk useful without making it OP, similar to how they buffed surveillance.
