Extended Picks

#1
Made for This
While injured, finishing a heal on another Survivor grants Endurance, and while Deep Wounded running gives a small Haste bonus.
#2
Resilience
While injured, interaction speeds like cleansing, healing, repairing, vaulting, opening, sabotaging, searching chests, and unhooking are faster.
#3
Boon: Circle of Healing
After blessing a totem, all Survivors in its radius heal others faster without Med-Kits and can see the auras of injured teammates.
#4
Lucky Break
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.
#5
Dead Hard
After being unhooked, allows a brief Endurance while running and injured; cannot be used while Exhausted and causes Exhausted after use.
#6
Desperate Measures
Healing and unhooking actions become faster for each injured, dying, or hooked Survivor.
#7
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.
#8
For the People
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.
#9
Overcome
After taking a hit from healthy to injured, your sprint burst lasts longer; causes Exhausted and cannot be used while Exhausted.
#10
Plot Twist
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.
#11
Invocation: Treacherous Crows
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
Invocation: Weaving Spiders
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.
