Rework suggestion for BT
Make the base kit BT last 10 seconds.
Then rework BT the perk to do the following:
Whenever you perform a hook rescue you are granted the endurance status effect for 6/8/10 seconds. While BT is active the hook rescue animation cannot be interrupted by the killer. Cancelling the rescue attempt still triggers the endurance effect. Once activated BT has a cooldown of 60/50/40 seconds. Conspicuous actions will deactivate the endurance effect (repairing generators, healing yourself or another player, blessing or cleansing totems but obviously hook rescues will not cancel it.)
It still wouldn't counter a face camping leatherface since they can get multiple hits off during the unhooking animation, but it would counter most other face camping killers.
Comments
you could make it increase unhooking speed by 50/75%/100%. the killer would only have 0.75 second window to grab the survivor instead of 1.5 second window. you might be able to unhook against leatherface with it instead of immunity to hook grabbing.
Isnt there another perk that used to do that? Was it WGLF or well make it? I think one of those used to but they reworked them.
Anyway. I get what youre saying, like if you could unhook someone before LF can fully charge his power, but he could still rev it and force a trade or worse rev it and get a cheeky free down if youre not being careful positioning for the save.
I wouldnt bother trying to balance it around LF. His ability is such an unbalanced outlier when it comes to camping ability, its like trying to balance perks around nurse in a way.
Im more interested in BT becoming a perk that could counter camping.
I mentioned LF because hes literally the only killer that can pretty much bypass any anti-camping perk.
If anything they should adjust his power so he cant use it when within 6-10 meters of the hooked survivor. Artists cant place birds near hook and trapper cant place traps under a hook etc etc it makes no sense that LF doesnt have a similar limitation.
I don't know any perks that grant unhooking speed of old. The only perks that i know that grant unhooking speed are no one left behind and desperate measures. No one left behind is too situational as it only works in end game and desperate measures is designed to be more of reverse old thanatophobia for healing. it doesn't have enough unhook threshold speed and going in front of the killer is still suicide without endurance.
Im more interested in BT becoming a perk that could counter camping.
Perhaps it could have all 3 effects. i would say if you try to unhook in front of the killer, your suppose to get slugged against all killer's. not to go into too much detail, but a lot of the 5 generator balance vs 12 hooks for killer tends to be balanced out by the killer being able to 1 hook and 2 hook survivors, so anti-camp perks tend to be quite oppressive for the killer in current iteration of the game due to hook-trading. They are adding reassurence to the game, so we'll see how that anti-camp perk plays out(if survivor use it).
