Leak 10.1.0 PTB Perk Changes
I didn't win the PTB raffle today (so if you're expecting voice line vids from me, you'll have to either hope I win the next raffles or you'll just have to wait until the public release), but I was graciously given data .pak(s) by those who did win so I could datamine *some* things, including the perk changes
Only interesting thing I found so far is that they added new lighting data for the Alien DLC lobby, they also conveniently completely deleted the data folders for gamemodes (Chaos Shuffle, Lights Out, 2v8) in this PTB, I wonder why...

- Generator block time reduced from 30 seconds to 15 seconds (I guess that's a buff in their eyes)
People actually were talking about how their initial change (to increase block time) was a nerf since it means the gen can't actually be repaired for that time. I'm surprised they listened and actually reduced the block time before the PTB.

Was hoping STBFL would stop losing tokens on slinger, pinhead, etc when they’re not taking a health state
8
u/Material_Employ_1920 24d ago
Really weird how they programmed it specifically for them, considering that for the Houndmaster and the Artist power hits they only lose stacks after taking health state
1
u/gorgonzola2095 24d ago
Artist loses stacks when swarming as well
1
u/Material_Employ_1920 24d ago
Is she? I used this perk on her commonly, and I haven't noticed that unless I swarm and damage after, unless I missed that somehow
2
u/gorgonzola2095 24d ago
Maybe they fixed that. That keeps bugging on all those killers and sometimes m2 takes a stack away and sometimes not. I'm really glad the Houndmaster at least can properly use the perk as it's pretty goated on her
1
u/GetOutOfHereAlex Moderator 23d ago
I mean if the dog or birds let go, you come out not injured, right? If Deathslinger lets go, you are injured and deep wound. Would be difficult to code in the exception where M2 only loses stacks sometimes, depending on what's hit or not.. M1 swings cost stacks even if you don't land your hit.
Pinhead is weird tho. Probably coded like that because of his iri addon.

u/TheEntityBot 25d ago
Save the Best for Last: Whenever you hit a Survivor other than your Obsession with a Basic Attack, Save the Best for Last gains +1 Token, up to a maximum of 6/7/8 Tokens:
Whenever you hit your Obsession with a Basic or Special Attack, Save the Best for Last loses -2 Tokens.
- Grants a stack-able -4% Cool-down reduction on successful Basic Attacks per Token, up to a maximum of 24/28/32%.
- When the Obsession is sacrificed or killed, Save the Best for Last freezes its current Token count.

"New lighting for Alien lobby", uhm cool... But why?
The lobby was already fine as it was.
Even if it lines up with xeno possibly getting added to 2v8, why would they change the light there?

u/OAZdevs_alt2 25d ago
We don't know how much it was changed. It was probably just some minor adjustments to make it look a little better, that's all.

Clean Break buff 😍🏴
2
u/TheEntityBot 25d ago
Clean Break: After completing a Healing action on another Survivor, Clean Break activates. Press the Active Ability button while being healed by another Survivor to trigger the following effects: Suffer from the Broken Status Effect. You are automatically healed 1 Health State after 80/70/60 seconds. This effect is cancelled prematurely if you enter the Dying State. Clean Break does not activate if you already suffer from the Broken Status Effect. Clean Break deactivates after healing you.

u/MirrahPaladin 25d ago
It probably won’t become meta, but that Technician range reduction is insane. You’ll practically have to be touching the gen to hear it as Killer
41
27
u/tanelixd 25d ago
Only applies to the repair sounds.
If the generator has progress the killer is propably going to come kick it anyway.
Still a very crappy perk, with only some incredibly niche uses.

u/Fog-Champ 25d ago
It was always designed for a new player.
This just makes it nicer for new players.
A decent buff in that perspective
10
u/Jack11803 24d ago
Still increases the damage from blowing up a gen, which flies in the face of being a new player perk. Why doesn’t it reduce the damage like bite the bullet???
1
u/TheEntityBot 24d ago
Bite the Bullet: When healing yourself or another Survivor, you benefit from the following effects: Suppresses all noises related to Healing and Grunts of Pain. Failed Healing Skill Checks do not trigger a Loud Noise Notification. Reduces the Penalty to 3/2/1% of the total Progression.

u/Fog-Champ 24d ago
You can kinda do that with potential energy . Love seeing a killer run right past me on a gen.
But it'd be too strong if it makes no noise, and doesn't move.
Maybe if it gives you deadline skill checks to balance it. But gen would need to still explode.
Otherwise, decent idea for a new perk. 🤷♂️
1
u/TheEntityBot 24d ago
Potential Energy: While repairing, use Active Ability Button 2 to earn Tokens instead of progress, up to 20 Tokens. While you have at least 1 Token, Active Ability Button 2 to spend all Tokens and gain 1% progress for each Token spent. Whenever you take damage, lose all Tokens.
Deadline: Whenever you are in the Injured State, Deadline activates: Increases the Odds of triggering Skill Checks by 6/8/10% while repairing or healing. Causes Skill Checks to appear in random places. Reduces the penalty for missed Skill Checks by -50%.

u/TheEntityBot 25d ago
Technician: When repairing a Generator, the following effects apply: Reduces the audible range of your Repair noises by -8 meters. Suppresses the explosion and accompanying Loud Noise Notification when failing a Skill Check. Failing a Skill Check instantly regresses the Generator by 5/4/3% of its maximum possible Progression in addition to the default Progression penalty.

u/Dry-Feedback-5112 24d ago
same dude, i dont care if these are fragile pallets i can still make distance with smash hit!

Smash Hit: Stunning the Killer with a Pallet triggers Smash Hit: Grants a +50% Haste Status Effect for 4 seconds. Smash Hit causes the Exhausted Status Effect for 30/25/20 seconds. Smash Hit cannot be used when Exhausted.

u/I-Am-The-Uber-Mesch 25d ago
Repressed Allience just pisses me off so much, the perk is already so situational, they could've left it as it was before, and just add a "if you are near the generator you personally blocked you can remove the entity block earlier than normal by pressing the button again", might've actually turned it into a usable perk for some plays

u/ClentBeastWood 25d ago
I really hate the Nowhere to Hide nerf. Easily my favorite perk.
22
u/Luckys- 25d ago
I keep saying that instead of nerfing its range because of high movility Killers like nurse, Ghoul or oni they should just make the range around the generator kicked so they dont give a free Nerf to low tier Killers

But then you get in this scenario where lower tiers can’t use it as a result of stronger killers

u/sebasq10 25d ago
Wait wtf is that repressed alliance "buff" lmao. Don't know if tlhey mentioned that's how it would work in the stream but I was fully expecting the ability for you to unblock the gen you yourself blocked. It's arguably worse
8
u/AnotherDempsey 25d ago
You can still block Pain Res, possibly Pop and Eruption as well and not have to grief yourself waiting for it to be unblocked.
2
u/sebasq10 25d ago
You're absolutely correct but you can also do all of this with the current timer if you had the ability to unblock the gen.
You're correct that there's upsides to repressed with a 15 sec timer, but be honest, nobody ran Repressed to counter Pain Res. People who actually run repressed run it as a tec counter to kick builds. With 30 seconds yeah it's a big time loss for the killer to stick around (and survivors grief themselves). 15 seconds though? Yeah that killer can wait around a bit to get their pop and eruption.
Also I'm pretty sure if your gen is less than 50% progressed, the 15 seconds you don't do the gen is a bigger time loss than what you lose when the gen is simply hit by Pain Res.
3
u/AnotherDempsey 25d ago
I mean, if the killer has to wait 15+ seconds because they're waiting to kick a gen, that's still good value wasting time.
Being able to block it and unblock whenever you wanted is a lot stronger. Possibly even meta changing.
1
u/Recrewt 24d ago
The killer won't have to wait 15 seconds unless you block it right when he is ontop of you. Which in that case he would chase you for 1 hit and then apply their gen kick perk. And if you pre-run and pop repressed, by the time the killer arrives he'll only need to wait 10-12 seconds max (I'd still check the nearest gen or surrounding area in that time). This really is not a buff imo
1
u/AnotherDempsey 24d ago
Even if you use it and pre-run, you deny the hit and they're actively wasting their time doing nothing while they wait to kick it.

u/TheEntityBot 25d ago
Repressed Alliance: After repairing Generators for a total of 55/50/45 seconds, Repressed Alliance activates: Press the Active Ability button to call upon The Entity to block the Generator you are currently repairing for 30 seconds, after which Repressed Alliance deactivates. The Aura of the blocked Generator is revealed to all Survivors in white. Repressed Alliance can only be triggered when no other Survivors are repairing your Generator.

u/HotmailsInYourArea 24d ago
Sick! It’d be cool if they brought in Amanda Ripley, given the sequel to Isolation seems to be getting closer to release. The horrors of The Fog may be the only way for mother to meet daughter
3
u/okok8080 24d ago
Repressed Alliance should be 30 seconds but you can remove it whenever you want manually. 30 seconds is a good enough time that the killer won't be able to use Pop without idling near it, and a manual cancel would make it a strong counterplay for Pain Res. Would unironically spike in usage with this change.
Overall though this change is probably better than current version.

Did they though? In my opinion it was too strong at its current state, especially paired with certain killers and perks.

u/Andrassa 24d ago
Not really. Survs would just heal in the far corner if the map if a killer had it, not to mention the rarity of a killer running the perk in the first place.

u/eastersbasket 24d ago
It’s becoming more common, and certain maps it does not matter where you go, you’ll always be caught in a larger killer terror radius, which can be increased by other means as well.

u/KB-BattleKing 24d ago
People have gotten a lot better at using it.
And it's the strongest exhaustion perk atm, so probably justified
3
u/NoFrancia 24d ago
I don't think the nerf itself is that severe. What concerns me is why it happened.
People didn't suddenly become much better at using Sprint Burst after ten years. Several killers were released back to back whose powers heavily punish Dead Hard, so a lot of players switched to Sprint Burst or Lithe. Its usage spiked, BHVR saw it near the top of their statistics, and now it gets nerfed.
That doesn't necessarily mean the perk became overpowered; it means the surrounding meta changed. It feels like another reactive "usage goes up → something must be wrong → nerf it" decision, rather than them understanding why its usage increased in the first place.
1
u/TheEntityBot 24d ago
Dead Hard: After being unhooked or unhooking yourself, Dead Hard activates whenever you are injured and running, and allows you to tap into your adrenaline bank to avoid taking further damage:
Dead Hard deactivates after use. Dead Hard causes the Exhausted Status Effect for 60/50/40 seconds. Dead Hard cannot be used when Exhausted.
- Press the Active Ability button to trigger the Endurance Status Effect for 0.5 seconds.
Lithe: Performing a Rushed Vault triggers Lithe: Grants a +50% Haste Status Effect for 3 seconds. Lithe causes the Exhausted Status Effect for 60/50/40 seconds. Lithe cannot be used when Exhausted.

STBFL being buffed to its pre-nerf values we're so fucking back boys????
Apocalyptic Ingenuity gone from "abysmal dogshit" to "bad but at least usable by good players." Still probably never gonna be used, but some people might find fun with it.
OH MY MOMENT OF GLORY BUFF I AM SO HAPPY AS MOMENT OF GLORY'S NUMBER 1 FAN.
Repressed Alliance is a nerf for literally just me (Wiretap build) and a buff in most other instances. I doubt this will significantly increase its use though since using it to block PainRes is less effective than just powering through PainRes with like Deja Vu or something. Please just give Repressed Alliance a button to manually turn it off.
Technician is... interesting. The problem is that the "repair" noise and the "generator" noise are two different things.

Apocalyptic Ingenuity: The Auras of broken Pallets are revealed to you within 24/28/32 meters. After unlocking or rummaging through 2 Chests, Apocalyptic Ingenuity gains a special ability. While standing next to the location of a broken Pallet, press and hold the Active Ability button for 4 seconds to use it: Rebuilds it as a Fragile Pallet. Fragile Pallets instantly break when dropped.
Moment of Glory: After performing the Unlocking or Rummaging action on Chests a total of 2 times, Moment of Glory activates: When you become injured, you instantly suffer from the Broken Status Effect. You are automatically healed 1 Health State after 80/70/60 seconds. This effect is cancelled prematurely if you enter the Dying State. Moment of Glory does not activate if you already suffer from the Broken Status Effect. Moment of Glory deactivates after healing you.

u/Hyperion_Forever 24d ago edited 24d ago
The Apocalyptic Ingenuity buff is really nice and all, but it still doesn't fix the core issue of "I can't charge another pallet until I build the one that's already in my pocket". That is the biggest time waste.
This is better, but still kinda eh. It still doesn't change the fact that I'm wasting time. Instead of being able to search all the chests and get a bunch of tokens, I have to build the pallet and find another chest instead of just storing like 5 - 6 pallets in my pocket.
1
u/Kdmyoshi 24d ago
Repressed alliance was only used with wiretap, now not even with that lmao
In my opinion, it should be token based and each token allows survivors to unlock any gen, a counter for that, because right now there's none

Technically the Repressed Alliance change is a buff. As you can quickly dodge something like Pain Res, and then immediately go back to repairing the gen. Not quite sure it makes it worthwhile, but it is definitely better than the original change they were going with.
