Why do Scourge Hooks Break?

The entire point of using a Scourge Hook perk is to use the same hooks repeatedly. They have different properties than normal hooks so I don't understand why they break.

  • Four spawn on a map, that's one for each survivor.

    The benefit from Scourge Hook is on that survivor being unhooked, so why would you sacrifice a survivor on a Scourge Hook? If they're on death hook, put them somewhere else.

  • Most likely balance for number of survivors left in the match if one dies on that hook for future scourge hook perks. It's why there's only 4 spread around the map i assume.

  • Another perk to work around, can only do your best to not kill a survivor on one. Sometimes, you just won't have any other choice. One also doesn't get full value of all perks every time.

  • Make sure you are checking them for Sabo. They still light up bright white, so you have to check the angle on the beam + hook part to make sure it hasn't been sabotaged. Pretty sure they are still lighting up when they have been broken due to Sacrifice, but I might have been mistaken.
