Matches: Exit Gate, Unhook, Endurance, Team
Extended Picks
#1
After being unhooked, grants a short window to stun the Killer with a Skill Check when picked up and escape, making you the Obsession until the effect ends after use or when the endgame begins.
#2
Gains growing immunity to the Killer's aura reads as teammates die, and when last alive your repair and gate/hatch opening speeds increase.
#3
After crouching to activate, you reveal nearby auras—including Survivors, the Killer, and key objects—while gaining Elusive and Oblivious before the effect ends and goes on cooldown.
#4
After being unhooked, temporarily blocks your aura, hides grunts and scratch marks, and grants Endurance until disabled by endgame or a conspicuous action.
#5
After cleansing or blessing a totem, you can channel the perk while empty-handed to reveal the auras of nearby chests, generators, hooks, the hatch, and exit gate switches for a short time.
#6
While injured, interaction speeds like cleansing, healing, repairing, vaulting, opening, sabotaging, searching chests, and unhooking are faster.
#7
When Exit Gates are powered, reveals gate auras, shows your aura while opening, and speeds gate opening.
#8
After being unhooked, you temporarily gain the ability to instantly remove your Exhausted status once, but this effect ends after use, after performing a conspicuous action, or once the Exit Gates are powered.
#9
After being unhooked, allows a brief Endurance while running and injured; cannot be used while Exhausted and causes Exhausted after use.
#10
Survivors near you perform key actions faster and the effect lingers briefly after they leave; only one instance of Leader can apply to a Survivor at a time.
#11
After taking three Protection Hits, the next hit in injured state is negated; once healed, your aura is revealed to the Killer at range, and the perk ends after you are downed.
#12
When the Exit Gates are powered, reveals all Survivors' auras, speeds up healing and unhooking, and boosts the Haste effect on Survivors you unhook.
