Diversion
There's what is easy and then there's what is right. If you confuse the two, there's no telling what you become. - Adam Francis
Description
Diversion charges while inside the Terror Radius without being chased by the Killer.
After charging for 30/25/20 seconds, it activates:
- Press the Active Ability button while crouched and motionless to throw a pebble in the direction you are facing, creating a distraction for the Killer 20 metres away from your location:
- Triggers a Loud Noise Notification.
- Creates fake Scratch Marks.
Diversion deactivates after use and resets its timer.

Our take
Standing inside the Terror Radius without being chased charges Diversion over 30/25/20 seconds, then a crouched and motionless Active Ability throws a pebble 20 metres ahead of you, faking Scratch Marks and a Loud Noise. Using it resets the charge, so a bad throw costs you the full wait again.
How to use it Take it when you have a safe window to stand still and watch. Hold it while you are being chased, because the charge only builds when you are not.
Best for Sprint Burst and Lithe pay for the repositioning that follows the pebble, and Windows of Opportunity is the third option. Diversion is the pick for a survivor who can afford to stop moving before the chase begins.
