Dead Man's Switch
I've seen the look on a man's face when he realises he's going to die. - Caleb Quinn
Description
After hooking a Survivor, Dead Man's Switch activates:
- Blocks the first Generator any Survivor stops repairing for 40/45/50 seconds.
- The Blocked Generator is highlighted to you in white.
Dead Man's Switch cannot activate if its effect is still active from a previous activation.

Our take
Hook perk. Hook perks trigger on hook events - either for the Killer (more pressure on hooked Survivors) or for the Survivor (extra chance to escape the hook).
How to use it Hook perks are most powerful in the early game when Survivors are more spread out. A hook on one side of the map forces the others to rotate.
Best for Killers who want to leverage the hook state for map pressure or Survivors who want a hook escape.
