Vault Perk Synergy Analysis

Sorry in advance for the recording and editing.

BHVR recently removed the synergy between vault speed perks and powers that have "special vaults." I did some testing to figure out which powers were affected by this change and here are my results.

(Add-ons used: "Shadow Dance" - Blood & White)

(Perks used: Bamboozle & Superior Anatomy)

1. Wraith (Invisible):

  • Vault speed add-ons work ✔️
  • Vault speed perks work ✔️
  • Vault speed add-ons and perks combined work together ✔️

2. Myers (Tier 3)

  • Vault speed perks work ✔️

3. Legion (Feral Frenzy)

  • Vault speed perks do not affect window vaults ❌
  • Vault speed perks do not affect pallet vaults ❌

4. Wesker (Virulent Bound)

  • Vault speed perks do not affect window vaults ❌
  • Vault speed perks do not affect pallet vaults ❌

Personally, I would like for these changes to be reverted so that we could have consistency from these perk synergies. It would give more fun and variety in builds for Legion and Wesker like it did before the change. Additionally, these vault speed perks working with their powers do not make them overpowered or overly oppressive as they both have cooldowns after vaulting with their powers in order to injure a survivor, so I find these nerfs to be unwarranted and unnecessary.
