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 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.
#4
After hooking a Survivor, blocks the first generator a Survivor stops repairing for a short time and highlights it. Cannot activate while its effect is already active.
#5
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.
#6
Unhooking a Survivor from a Scourge Hook applies Haemorrhage for a duration. After they are healed to full once, they suffer reduced healing and repairing speeds until injured again.
#7
After damaging a generator, highlights it, and when a Survivor is put into the dying state, highlighted generators explode and begin regressing. Survivors repairing those generators scream and have their auras revealed.
#8
After damaging a generator, makes other generators begin regressing and forces difficult Skill Checks on Survivors repairing them. Has a cooldown.
#9
Highlights the auras of damaged Generators based on their regression state and increases the audible range of repair-related noises.
#10
Survivors failing repair or healing skill checks grants tokens. Damaging a Generator consumes tokens to apply extra regression and temporarily block that Generator.
#11
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.
#12
While at least one Survivor is injured, downed, or hooked, applies a stacking action speed penalty to Survivors. If all Survivors are in those states, the penalty increases further.
