Extended Picks

#1
Dark Arrogance
Increases vaulting speed while vaulting windows. Pallet stuns recover more slowly and blinds last longer.
#2
Zanshin Tactics
Reveals the auras of nearby pallets and windows. When a Survivor drops a pallet, briefly reveals that Survivor's aura.
#3
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.
#4
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.
#5
Knock Out
After a Survivor drops a pallet and moves away shortly after, applies Hindered to them briefly.
#6
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.
#7
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.
#8
Hex: No One Escapes Death
After the Exit Gates are powered, lights a remaining Dull Totem to grant Haste and apply Exposed to all Survivors. Once revealed, the hex totem's aura becomes visible to nearby Survivors with the reveal range expanding over time.
#9
Nemesis
When a non-Obsession Survivor blinds or stuns the Killer, makes them the new Obsession. When the Obsession changes, applies Oblivious and briefly reveals that Survivor's aura.
#10
Enduring
Reduces the duration of pallet stuns. Does not apply when stunned while carrying a Survivor.
#11
Forced Hesitation
When a Survivor is put into the dying state, nearby other Survivors are hindered for a short time. Has a cooldown.
#12
Hex: Devour Hope
A Hex that lights a Hex Totem and gains tokens when Survivors are unhooked far from you. At higher token counts, grants haste after hooking, applies Exposed to all Survivors, and can enable killing dying Survivors.
