Extended Picks
#1
After healing or recovering from Dying, grants brief Endurance on a cooldown; when Cursed, allows full self-recovery from the Dying State.
#2
While injured, you can drop silently into Dying State with hidden grunts and blood and self-recover to full health for a brief Haste burst; usable once until endgame allows a second use.
#3
After blessing a totem, all Survivors in its radius recover from the Dying State much faster and gain the ability to fully pick themselves up.
#4
Permanently Broken but grants self-recovery and hides blood and grunts while injured or dying, letting you recover fully on your own.
#5
In the Dying State, recover faster and can pick yourself up once per trial.
#6
While healing a dying Survivor, you both see the Killer’s aura, and once they are picked up, they briefly leave no scratch marks and gain a burst of speed without becoming Exhausted.
#7
While in the Dying State, crawl faster with quieter grunts and your aura is hidden.
#8
Healing dying Survivors is much faster, and those you pick up gain brief Endurance with a short cooldown.
#9
While healthy and healing another Survivor without a Med-Kit, instantly heal them by trading your health state, applying Broken to yourself and often making you the Obsession.
#10
After completing a heal, enables self-recovery from the Dying State once enough progress is made, but inflicts Broken and causes you to collapse again after a short 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
After being unhooked, temporarily blocks your aura, hides grunts and scratch marks, and grants Endurance until disabled by endgame or a conspicuous action.
