Description
“Your acute senses are on high alert.
When the Killer preforms a break action, the Killer is revealed to you for
5 seconds.”
I have true sight. – Feng Min
This perk can be unlocked at Level 40 on Feng Min.
How This Activates
- Killer breaks a pallet.
- Killer breaks a breakable wall.
- Killer damages a generator.
My Thoughts
At first, this perk may not seem like a simple, yet profitless, although this is not the case…Alert is a very informational perk, it can help survivors plan their next move. If you’re in a chase, survivors can see the killer’s next move, making it easier for them to mind-game and loop, making them last longer.

Description
“You start the trial with a -25% progress penalty for Skill
Checks to heal Survivors.
For every successful Skill Check while healing a Survivor,
you receive a token up to a maximum of 5 tokens.
Each token grants you a +15% progress bonus. [Only to healing]
Great Skill Checks cannot be preformed while using
Autodidact.”
- Autodidact is not active when using a Med-Kit to heal.
There’s no limit to what you can achieve, as long as you back it up with hard work. – Adam Francis
This perk can be unlocked at Level 40 on Adam Francis.
How This Activates
When healing a fellow survivor, when granted a skill check, and you successfully hit it…you will receive a token that can add up to 5 tokens, and will each give you a 15% healing bonus when healing survivors, these all add up to 45% bonus.
[Don’t quote me on the 45% bonus.]
My Thoughts
If you get the first two skill checks out of the way, it rely’s a bit on the RNG…but this perk can be very beneficial when used properly. Incredibly for healing survivors who’ve been hooked, slugged, or in the end-game. Personally, I would use this perk with Second Wind.

Description
You have learnt to avoid awkward situations with parents. Part of you still thinks your best option is to run away and hope things will take care of themselves.
When you have healed other Survivors for the equivalent of one Health State, Second Wind activates.
- While Second Wind is activated, the next time you are unhooked or unhook yourself, you are affected by the Broken Status Effect.
- After a total duration of 28/24/20 seconds, Second Wind automatically heals you from Injured to the Healthy State.
Second Wind deactivates once you are completely healed or if you are put into the Dying State before Second Wind successfully triggers.
- You will lose the Broken Status Effect once Second Wind deactivates.
Second Wind does not activate if you are already affected by the Broken Status Effect.
Yeah, that’s a no. – Steve Harrington
This perk can be unlocked at Level 40 on Steve Harrington.
How This Activates
After healing a survivor a full health-state, [Injured to Healthy, Dying to Injured] Second Wind activates…when you’re unhooked or you unhook yourself, you are given the Broken Status Effect for a certain amount of time, and once that is over you will become fully healed.
My Thoughts
Honestly, I use this perk soooo much in-game and it’s actually better than it seems. This perk automatically heals you after being unhooked, so you don’t have to worry about being healed and do a generator for the time being. Although, tunneling killers can counter this perk it’s still very effective, personally, I would use this perk with Autodidact

Description
Unlocks potential in one’s Aura-reading ability.
Auras of Pallets, Breakable Walls, and Vaults are revealed to you when within a range of 20 metres.
Windows of Opportunity has a cool-down of several seconds when vaulting or dropping a Pallet during a Chase.
“Rise and shine, work hard, carve out your name,
Take aim, pull the trigger, hit the bulls eye for fame,
Know the value of faith, an’ family, and don’t you complain,
Open wide, your windows of opportunity”
— Kate Denson’s “Windows of Opportunity”
This perk can be unlocked at Level 35 on Kate Denson.
How This Activates
- When moving around in the map, within 20 metres, auras of pallets and windows are revealed to you.
- This perk deactivates for 30/25/20 seconds after vaulting or dropping a pallet when in a chase.
My Thoughts
Windows Of Opportunity is a very informational perk for chases, this perk can be used when not knowing a map and chaining together loops, windows, and pallets…I especially believe this perk could be used more and even slightly changed a bit to where it’s more effective.

Description
“Getting close to the Killer fills you with determination.
For each 15 seconds you are standing within the Killer’s Terror Radius and are not in a chase, you gain a Token up to a maximum of 2/3/4 Tokens.
When Stake Out has at least 1 Token, Good Skill Checks are considered Great Skill Checks, consume 1 Token, and grant an additional Progression bonus of 1%.”
I had you, I had you on your knees. You’re runnin’ scared because we had you. We’re gonna close this case!” – Detective David Tapp
This perk can be unlocked at Level 40 on Detective David Tapp.
How This Activates
Whenever you’re in the Killer’s Terror Radius, [Heart-beat Sound] you gain a Token, that can be added up to 4 Tokens, Good Skill-Checks are then turned into Great Skill Checks and each-token grants up to an additional 1% bonus on the generator.
My Thoughts
This perk may not seem very decent, since it only gives a 1% progression bonus…it’s actually more effective than it seems. Stake Out is useful when gen-rushing, in a three-gen, or when a killer is camping a certain generator. I rarely see this being used, and it create a bad game into a totally different game when used.
