Extended Picks
#1
Store generator repair progress as tokens and later spend them to instantly add the saved progress to another generator.
#2
Reveals the three generators closest together and slightly speeds repairing them.
#3
Great Skill Checks while repairing or healing build tokens that make subsequent checks come faster and give extra bonus progress, lost if you miss or are interrupted.
#4
While injured, interaction speeds like cleansing, healing, repairing, vaulting, opening, sabotaging, searching chests, and unhooking are faster.
#5
After several good repair Skill Checks, reveals the auras of any regressing generators for the rest of the trial.
#6
Completing a generator with teammates grants everyone who helped a temporary repair speed bonus.
#7
Gain tokens when other Survivors are hooked and spend them on a Great Repair Skill Check to grant extra generator progress.
#8
Great Repair Skill Checks reveal the Killer's aura for a short time while repairing.
#9
Working on a generator with other Survivors speeds repair for everyone nearby; only one instance applies per Survivor.
#10
While injured and repairing, Great Skill Checks build tokens and failures lose them; reaching enough tokens grants a one-time big self-heal speed boost until you stop healing.
#11
With an empty toolbox, great repair checks build tokens that recharge it at the cost of slower repairs afterward; once per trial you can rummage an opened chest for a basic toolbox.
#12
Opening or rummaging chests builds tokens that, on a great repair Skill Check, permanently reduce that generator's required charges by the stored amount.
