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
Killer perk. Regression perk. Call of Brine is the cleanest regression boost in the killer kit - one kick converts into 60 seconds of 25% boosted regression plus skill check intel.
How to use it Kick the most progressed generator. The loud noise on Great Skill Checks tells you when survivors are still repairing, even from across the map distance.
Best for Gen-control killers who can patrol 3-gens and snowball regression. Pairs with Overcharge and Eruption for the meta regression trio and Oppression stack coverage.

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.
