Better than New
Survivor • Rebecca Chambers
Completing a healing action on another Survivor temporarily boosts their speeds for blessing, cleansing, healing, and unlocking until they are damaged again.
Boon: Illumination
Survivor • Alan Wake
After blessing a totem, all Survivors in its radius see the auras of all chests and generators, and you bless and cleanse totems slightly faster while your boon is active.
Calm Spirit
Survivor • Jake Park
Crows rarely alert to your presence, you never scream, and your chest and totem interactions are silent, but your blessing, cleansing, and unlocking actions are noticeably slower.
Clairvoyance
Survivor • Mikaela Reid
After cleansing or blessing a totem, you can channel the perk while empty-handed to reveal the auras of nearby chests, generators, hooks, the hatch, and exit gate switches for a short time.
Counterforce
Survivor • Jill Valentine
Cleansing is faster by default; each cleansed totem further speeds cleansing and reveals the aura of the farthest totem.

Inner Strength
Survivor • Nancy Wheeler
After cleansing a totem, hiding in a locker for a short time heals you one health state; cannot be used while Broken.
Leader
Survivor • Dwight Fairfield
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.

Survivor • Laurie Strode
When the Killer reads your aura, you see theirs and gain small action speed bonuses; if you are the Obsession, your aura periodically reveals to the Killer.
Overzealous
Survivor • Haddie Kaur
Cleansing or blessing a totem grants increased repair speed until you lose a health state.
Resilience
Survivor • All Survivors
While injured, interaction speeds like cleansing, healing, repairing, vaulting, opening, sabotaging, searching chests, and unhooking are faster.
Small Game
Survivor • All Survivors
A directional detection cone gives an audio cue for totems on a cooldown; cleansing totems narrows the cone via tokens.
Spine Chill
Survivor • All Survivors
When the Killer looks at you within range, warns via the perk icon and slightly speeds many interactions, lingering briefly after they look away.
