Simple and easy fix for wake up
I understand why they did the change to discourage selfish behavior. But the change was not right and wrong. Here’s a very simple way the perk should change to be better
Gain a token for each safe unhook or protection hit up to 4.
Each token will increase the time it takes to open an exit gate by 8/10/12.5%.
When exit gates are powered, Reveal your aura to every survivor when opening an exit gate, auras of gates are revealed to you.

They didn’t change this to ‘discourage’ anything. They buffed it to 50% on the PTB, killer mains complained about it being paired with Sole Survivor, it was nerfed. The only reason BHVR is hiding behind their given excuse—which makes no logical sense, by the way, given the description for this game and dozens of other perks—is because they don’t want to cause an uproar by saying the perk was too strong. Even with the way it will scale you’re unlikely to reach 50% as it requires 4 survivors to make it to EG. At that point you don’t even need a perk for faster exit gate opening.
Keep it’s base at 25%, but for every survivor alive you gain an extra 12.5% speed bonus to opening gates, simple change.
Your suggestion is unnecessary because at the end of the day it’s an endgame perk and you may not get to use the perk at all often.
