• Ah I see, that’s a shame.

  They wouldn’t necessarily have to be on a gen, but it would look odd if someone just casually walked up and just stared, ya know? Gen work in survival form could slightly hamper overall repair speed, instead of regress. Ideally the survivor would be scanning for The Thing, as opposed to staring at the progress bar constantly. I’d assume the red stain could be toggled off when in the survivor form, but I’m not sure how that actually works, I’m relatively new to the game.

  The survivor perks and injuries themselves would work as an eventual hard-counter to the shifter, as eventually The Thing would no longer need to shift such as in the movie, where it only did so when it had the advantage or was forced to. After all, when everyone is battered and bruised, it’d be odd if a random Meg or Dwight waddled up uninjured. And good communication would be a hard-counter to its ability, as poor communication is what lead to the extreme paranoia in the film.

  You’re right about exposed, it does seem sort of overkill given the other bonuses one would have. I do see your points though, as for how this would work in addition to perks and add-ons, I’m unsure if it would be possible to balance without neutering it.
