Mindbreaker
The specimen's apparent telepathic ability can evoke feelings of dread and fatigue in nearby individuals. - Hawkins National Laboratory
Description
Your distressing presence drains and weakens your prey.
All Survivors repairing a Generator suffer from the following afflictions:
- Incurs the Blindness and Exhausted Status Effects for the duration of the Repair action.
- If a Survivor was already suffering from Exhausted prior to Mindbreaker affecting them, the Status Effect's timer will be paused and not recover for the duration of the Repair action.
- Both Status Effects linger for another 3/4/5 seconds after a Survivor stops repairing.

Our take
Survivors repairing any Generator are blinded and Exhausted for as long as they repair, and a Survivor who was already Exhausted has that timer frozen instead of recovering. Both effects hang around for another 3/4/5 seconds after they let go, so stepping off the Generator does not clear it instantly.
How to use it The longer you hold Survivors on a Generator, the more this costs them, which is exactly when it is worth the slot. A repair that ends in one short burst costs them very little.
Best for Overcharge punishes the same Generator interaction with a Skill Check instead of a Status Effect, so the two stack pressure without needing anything else in the build.
