Extended Picks
#1
When the Exit Gates are powered, reveals all Survivors' auras, speeds up healing and unhooking, and boosts the Haste effect on Survivors you unhook.
#2
After being unhooked, temporarily blocks your aura, hides grunts and scratch marks, and grants Endurance until disabled by endgame or a conspicuous action.
#3
While injured, interaction speeds like cleansing, healing, repairing, vaulting, opening, sabotaging, searching chests, and unhooking are faster.
#4
After being unhooked, you immediately gain partial healing progress toward recovering.
#5
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.
#6
After you are unhooked, the used hook immediately breaks for an extended time and the Killer’s aura is briefly revealed to you.
#7
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.
#8
When you unhook another Survivor, their Endurance and Haste effects after the unhook last significantly longer.
#9
After blessing a totem, all Survivors in its radius heal others faster without Med-Kits and can see the auras of injured teammates.
#10
Healing and unhooking actions become faster for each injured, dying, or hooked Survivor.
#11
Perform a long basement invocation that others can help speed up; once completed, crow scares in the Killer's terror radius reveal their aura to all Survivors while you remain injured and Broken for the rest of the trial.
#12
Perform a long basement invocation that others can help speed up; completion permanently reduces generator repair requirements but leaves you injured and Broken for the rest of the trial and disables other copies of this invocation.
