Call of Brine
Description
Your psychic abilities influence technology in devastating ways. After performing the Damage Generator action on a Generator, Call of Brine activates for 60 seconds. - The damaged Generator regresses at 115/120/125% of the normal Regression speed and its Aura is highlighted to you in yellow. - Receive a Loud Noise Notification each time a Survivor hits a Good Skill Check on the affected Generator.
Our take
Damage a Generator and for 60 seconds it rolls back at 115/120/125% of the normal Regression speed, its Aura is highlighted in yellow for you, and every Good Skill Check a Survivor lands on it pings you as a Loud Noise. The highlight is yours alone, so the regression and the sound reach everyone else.
How to use it Meant for a Killer who plans to pressure a Generator they have already damaged, because the 60 seconds only starts from their own hit. It has no effect on a Generator you have not touched.
Best for Overcharge, Eruption, Oppression and Surge are its partners, and the set is entirely about generator pressure. A Killer who wants a damaged Generator to keep punishing instead of hurting once.

What wiki.gg doesn't tell you
Call of Brine is one of the most efficient regression perks because it triggers on kick and lasts 60 seconds with no internal cooldown. The 25% regression boost at tier 3 is the highest non-conditional regression in the game. The trick nobody documents well: the loud noise notification is the same visual and audio cue as a survivor hitting a Great Skill Check on a regular gen, so Call of Brine doubles as a stealth detection tool. I have caught survivors off guard using just the audio cue, which is a level of info most killer builds do not get. At high MMR, Call of Brine is rated A tier because it covers 60 seconds of guaranteed regression with zero condition. Pair with Overcharge for the meta gen-control duo.
