Who This Is For

- Survivors who lose tempo after first chase and need cleaner role-based loadouts.
- Anyone specifically solving for stealth outcomes this patch cycle.
- Break line-of-sight first, then reposition with purpose.
When To Skip

- Swap one perk at a time and track whether first-hook and endgame outcomes improve.

Extended Picks
#1
Interacting with a locker while sprinting fakes a rushed entry and makes you run past, hiding scratch marks and blood while creating a loud noise at the locker before going on cooldown.
#2
After you unhook another Survivor, the Killer’s aura is revealed to you briefly, while the unhooked Survivor leaves no scratch marks or pools of blood and gains a short burst of speed.
#3
While injured, hides scratch marks and blood for a limited time that can recharge while healing others; ends when the timer is spent or you leave injured state.
#4
After unhooking, you can crouch and activate to hide grunts of pain, blood, and scratch marks for nearby injured or dying Survivors while briefly revealing yourself to the Killer.
#5
After a rushed vault or locker exit, briefly hides your scratch marks before going on cooldown.
#6
When you are the only active Survivor, hides grunts of pain, blood pools, and scratch marks for a duration before deactivating.
#7
After stunning the Killer, briefly hides your grunts of pain, scratch marks, and blood pools.
#8
While injured, another Survivor blinding or pallet-stunning the Killer hides your grunts, blood, and scratch marks for a time.
#9
After blessing a totem, all Survivors in its radius leave no scratch marks and have their auras hidden from the Killer, with both effects briefly lingering after they leave the boon area.
#10
Entering a locker mutes grunts of pain; on exit, briefly hides grunts and blood while revealing teammate auras and the nearest generator, then goes on cooldown.
