Buffs/Rework Ideas For Underused/Underwhelming Perks

If it's not obvious already, I really like writing stuff like this. There are so many perks in Dead by Daylight, yet still so many are never really used. Now I'm not trying to shift the meta here, but I would like to shed some light onto some perks that could use a bit more attention so that they aren't completely left in the dark to never be used. As always, feel free to share your ideas!

Beginning with the Survivors' side:

Buckle Up

Unlocks potential in one's aura-reading ability. The recovery and wiggle progression of dying and carried Survivors can be determined by the intensity of their auras at a distance of up to 48 meters.

When you heal a Survivor from the dying state to injured or healthy, both you and the healed Survivor see the Killer's aura for 4-5-6 seconds.

Deja Vu

Unlocks potential in one's aura-reading ability. Paranoia paired with the horror of failure drives you to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

When you repair 1-2-3 generators for 30 seconds, its aura will be revealed to you at a distance of up to 128 meters away. If the Killer breaks a generator affected by Deja Vu, the generator's repair progress can be determined by the intensity of its aura until it stops regressing. If the generator is trapped, then its aura will be revealed in yellow.

Deja Vu can only affect 1-2-3 generators at once.

Distortion

You start the trial with 3 Tokens.

When any generator is completed, gain a token. When your aura would be shown to the Killer, Distortion activates and a token is consumed.

For the next 10 seconds while Distortion is activated, your aura and scratch marks will not be shown to the Killer.

• Distortion does not activate while you are in the dying state or in a trap.

No One Left Behind

It is inconceivable to leave someone behind.

Once the exit gates are powered, your altruistic action speed is increased by 40%-50%-60%. Any injured Survivors within an 8 meter range of you will have their grunts of pain reduced by 50% and leave no scratch marks. Once out of range, this effect persists for 15 seconds when out of range.

Gain 100% more bloodpoints in the Altruism category.

Pharmacy

You have a knack for finding medicine. Searches through chests are 40%-60%-80% faster and the noise created are reduced by 8 meters.

Pharmacy guarantees an Emergency Med-Kit with the Self Adherent Wrap add-on on your first completed chest search.

Vigil

You look over your friends even in dire situations. You and your allies within an 8 meter range will recover from the Exhausted, Hemorrhage, Mangled, Hindered, Blindness, Madness, and Oblivious status effects 20%-25%-30% faster. Once out of range, this effect persists for 15 seconds.

Flip-Flop

You have an uncanny ability to escape the inevitable.

While in the dying state, your recovery progression is converted into wiggle progression when you are picked up by the Killer, up to a maximum of 50%-60%-70% total wiggle progression.

Lightweight

Your running is light and soft, making your tracks harder to follow. The sound of your footsteps are reduced by 75% and your scratch marks stay visible for 2-3-4 seconds less than normal.

That's all I've got for the Survivor's side. Some perks that may still need looking into are Mettle of Man, Sole Survivor, Left Behind, Slippery Meat, Solidarity, and Wake Up!.

Moving onto the Killer's side...

---

Coulrophobia

Your presence alone instills great fear. Survivors within your terror radius will have their repair, healing, and sabotage speeds reduced by 9%-12%-15%.

Cruel Limits

Your ties to the otherworldly manifest when your prey attempts to get away.

When any generator reaches 50% repair progress, receive a loud noise notification from that location and all windows and vaults within a 24 meter radius from the generator will be blocked by the Entity for all Survivors for the next 22-26-30 seconds.

Cruel Limits can only trigger once per generator.

Insidious

At the start of the trial, you receive the Undetectable status effect for 60 seconds. Any time you hook a Survivor, you become Undetectable for 20-25-30 seconds.

Mindbreaker

Your distressing presence drains and weakens your prey.

While repairing generators, Survivors are afflicted with the Exhausted status effect. Any existing Exhausted effects are paused during repairs. After ending the repair action, Survivors will be afflicted with Exhausted for 8-9-10 seconds.

Injured Survivors who are repairing a generator with more than 50% repair progression will be afflicted with the Oblivious status effect as well. After ending the repair action, Oblivious will linger for 8-9-10 seconds.

Monstrous Shrine

Your fervent care of the hooks in the trial have aroused the Entity's interest. When you hook three Survivors, the next time a generator is completed, all generators will be blocked by the Entity for 20-25-30 seconds.

Remember Me

You become obsessed with one Survivor.

Each time you hit your obsession, you increase the opening time of the exit gates by 5 seconds up to a maximum of 20-25-30 seconds.

When there is one Survivor remaining and you close the hatch, the opening time of the exit gates are increased by 15 seconds if the obsession has been killed or sacrificed.

The obsession is not affected by Remember Me.

• The Killer can only be obsessed with one Survivor at a time.

Shadowborn

You have a keen vision in the darkness of the night. Overall brightness is increased by 25% and your field of view is increased by 9-12-15 degrees.

Field of view gains do not stack.

Territorial Imperative

Unlocks potential in one's aura-reading ability. The auras of vaults and pallets are revealed to you within a 18-22-26 meter range. During a chase, when a Survivor is 2 meters from a vault or pallet, its aura will turn white.

Tinkerer

When a generator reaches 75% repair progression, you receive a loud noise notification and the Undetectable status effect for 10-12-15 seconds.

Unrelenting

You recuperate faster from attacks made by your main weapon. Your missed attack cooldowns are reduced by 25%-30%-35%. Your successful attack cooldowns are reduced by 15%.

Missed and successful attack cooldown reductions do not stack.

Beast of Prey

Your lust to kill is so intense that your connection with the Entity is momentarily lost, making you totally unpredictable.

You gain Bloodlust Tier 1 30% faster. After gaining Bloodlust Tier 1:

• Your red stain disappears.
• You gain a speed bonus of 15% to vaulting and breaking.
• Gain 50% more bloodpoints for actions in the Hunter category.
• You cannot exceed Bloodlust Tier 1.

Breaking pallets will not cause you to lose Bloodlust. You lose Bloodlust when you hit a Survivor or lose the chase.

Beast of Prey has a cooldown of 100-80-60 seconds.

Fire Up

The increased pressure of losing your prey fills you with anger and gives you unsuspected motivation. Each time the Survivors complete a generator, Fire Up grows in power.

• For each generator completed, exit gate or hatch opened, gain a 4%-4.5%-5% speed bonus to picking up, dropping, breaking pallets or generators, and vaulting for the remainder of the trial.

Overwhelming Presence

Your presence alone instills great fear. Survivors in your terror radius suffer from inefficiency.

Affected Survivors will not be able to perform Great Skill Checks. All skill checks performed while in your terror radius will pause their action progress for 2-3-4 seconds.

Surge

Your eerie presence charges the air and interferes with technology.

Putting a Survivor into the dying state will cause all generators within a 32 meter radius to instantly explode and regress. This applies additional regression of 8%-9%-10%.

And that's a wrap. Like the Survivors, here are some other perks that could use some improvement: Iron Maiden, Lightborn, Mad Grit, Spies From The Shadows, and Hangman's Trick.

Quick Note: In this thread, I think Beast of Prey and Territorial Imperative should swap rarities.

Feel free to tell me what you think. I know that most of this probably isn't gonna happen, but hey, it's fun to brainstorm.
