Overcharge
It is a trap, But a trap one must step in... - Herman Carter
Description
You are fuelled by your hate for progress.
Performing the Damage Generator action on a Generator applies Overcharge:
- The next Survivor interacting with that Generator is faced with a difficult Skill Check.
- Failing that Skill Check instantly regresses the Generator by 2/3/4% of its maximum possible Progression in addition to the default Progression penalty.
After Overcharge is applied to a Generator, the following effect also applies:
- Increases the Regression speed from 85% to 130% over the next 30 seconds.

Our take
Generator Regression perk. Generator regression perks slow down the Survivor's main objective. Even one regress can be the difference between gens popping and gens stalling.
How to use it Hit gens that Survivors are actively working on. The longer they have been worked, the more value Overcharge provides. Don't tap fresh gens - the progress loss is wasted.
Best for Pressure-oriented Killers who want to keep Survivors off the objective without camping.
