Extended Picks

#1
Deception
Interacting with a locker while sprinting fakes a rushed entry and makes you run past, hiding scratch marks and blood while creating a loud noise at the locker before going on cooldown.
#2
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.
#3
Dance With Me
After a rushed vault or locker exit, briefly hides your scratch marks before going on cooldown.
#4
Low Profile
When you are the only active Survivor, hides grunts of pain, blood pools, and scratch marks for a duration before deactivating.
#5
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.
#6
Boon: Shadow Step
After blessing a totem, all Survivors in its radius leave no scratch marks and have their auras hidden from the Killer, with both effects briefly lingering after they leave the boon area.
#7
Buckle Up
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.
#8
Come and Get Me!
After unhooking, you can crouch and activate to hide grunts of pain, blood, and scratch marks for nearby injured or dying Survivors while briefly revealing yourself to the Killer.
#9
Distortion
When the Killer tries to read your aura, consumes a token to block their read and hide your scratch marks for a short time; tokens recharge while you are chased and the effect is inactive in the Dying State.
#10
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.
#11
Parental Guidance
After stunning the Killer, briefly hides your grunts of pain, scratch marks, and blood pools.
#12
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.
