Extended Picks

#1
Unbound
After a Survivor becomes injured, Unbound activates for a short time and grants a brief Haste effect after vaulting a window. The Haste effect cannot stack with itself.
#2
Zanshin Tactics
Reveals the auras of nearby pallets and windows. When a Survivor drops a pallet, briefly reveals that Survivor's aura.
#3
Lethal Pursuer
At the start of the Trial, briefly reveals all Survivors' auras and increases the duration of other Survivor aura reveals.
#4
Bamboozle
Permanently increases vaulting speed. After vaulting a window, blocks that window for Survivors for a short time and can refresh or transfer the block by vaulting windows.
#5
Dark Arrogance
Increases vaulting speed while vaulting windows. Pallet stuns recover more slowly and blinds last longer.
#6
Fire Up
As generators are completed, gains tokens that increase action speeds for key interactions such as picking up Survivors, breaking, damaging generators, and vaulting windows.
#7
Knock Out
After a Survivor drops a pallet and moves away shortly after, applies Hindered to them briefly.
#8
None Are Free
Gains Tokens from first-time hooks. After all generators are completed, blocks all windows and upright pallets for a duration that scales with Tokens.

Hex: No One Escapes Death

#10
Batteries Included
While near a completed generator, grants a Haste bonus that briefly lingers after leaving the area.
#11
Rapid Brutality
Prevents the Killer from gaining Bloodlust and grants brief Haste after landing a basic attack on a Survivor.
#12
Friends 'til the End
