Extended Picks
#1
Starts with Tokens and consumes one when a Survivor is first hooked on a Scourge Hook to damage the most progressed generator and make repairing Survivors scream. Disables once all Tokens are spent.
#2
After your first hook, a dull totem becomes a Hex Totem and generator auras show repair progress; once four generators are completed, remaining generators explode, lose progress, and begin regressing, then the hex totem dulls and the perk disables.
#3
After hooking a Survivor, the next manually damaged generator immediately loses a portion of its current progress. Deactivates after use or when its timer expires.
#4
After damaging a generator, increases its regression rate and highlights its aura. Also triggers loud noise notifications when Survivors hit good skill checks while repairing that generator.
#5
Converts several hooks into Scourge Hooks and highlights their auras. Unhooked normal hooks become Scourge Hooks, and hooking on a Scourge Hook highlights the most progressed generator for a short time.
#6
After hooking a Survivor, you have a short window to trigger an explosion on a nearby generator that removes progress and starts regression.
#7
Highlights the auras of damaged Generators based on their regression state and increases the audible range of repair-related noises.
#8
Converts additional hooks, including Basement hooks, into Scourge Hooks and highlights them. When far from a Survivor hooked on a Scourge Hook, their sacrifice progresses faster.
#9
After damaging a Generator, grants Undetectable and reveals the damaged Generator's aura to Survivors while it regresses. Deactivates when regression stops and has a cooldown between activations.
#10
After hooking a Survivor, reveals the auras of other Survivors who are far from the hook.
#11
When a generator is completed, reveals the auras of Survivors near that generator. When the final generator is completed, reveals all Survivors’ auras briefly.
#12
After each Survivor is hooked for the first time, gains a token and later blocks all Generators once you move far enough from the Hook. Once fully charged, also reveals the Obsession's aura.
