Extended Picks

#1
Borrowed Time
When you unhook another Survivor, their Endurance and Haste effects after the unhook last significantly longer.
#2
Off the Record
After being unhooked, temporarily blocks your aura, hides grunts and scratch marks, and grants Endurance until disabled by endgame or a conspicuous action.
#3
Babysitter
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.
#4
Dead Hard
After being unhooked, allows a brief Endurance while running and injured; cannot be used while Exhausted and causes Exhausted after use.
#5
Decisive Strike
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.
#6
Resurgence
After being unhooked, you immediately gain partial healing progress toward recovering.
#7
Breakdown
After you are unhooked, the used hook immediately breaks for an extended time and the Killer’s aura is briefly revealed to you.
#8
Leader
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.
#9
No One Left Behind
When the Exit Gates are powered, reveals all Survivors' auras, speeds up healing and unhooking, and boosts the Haste effect on Survivors you unhook.
#10
Resilience
While injured, interaction speeds like cleansing, healing, repairing, vaulting, opening, sabotaging, searching chests, and unhooking are faster.
#11
Deliverance
After a safe unhook, allows a one-time self-unhook during first hook stage but inflicts Broken afterward.
#12
We'll Make It
After unhooking a Survivor, your healing others is much faster for a limited time.
