Bada Bada Boom

Summary

After repairing generators enough, you can trap a window; when the Killer vaults it, they become Hindered for a short duration, and the trapped window’s aura is revealed to all Survivors until the trap triggers or expires.

In-game description

You may not be a fighter, but you have clever ways of striking back.

Effect

After completing 20 % worth of Generator repairs, Bada Bada Boom activates.


While active, press the Active Ability button while standing next to a Window to install a trap to it with a countdown of 40/50/60 seconds:

  • Triggers when the Killer vaults through the Trapped Window:
    • Inflicts the -50 % Hindered Status Effect for 6 seconds.

The trap is deactivated after its countdown has elapsed or it is tripped.

The Auras of Trapped Windows are revealed to all Survivors in yellow.
