Scourge Hook: Floods of Rage
Description
You form a psychic connection with The Entity and alter the rules of the Trial. At the start of the Trial, 4 random Hooks are changed into Scourge Hooks: - The Auras of Scourge Hooks are revealed to you in white. Each time a Survivor is unhooked from a Scourge Hook, the following effects apply: - The Auras of all other Survivors are revealed for 5/6/7 seconds.
Our take
Four random Hooks are Scourge Hooks from the first moment, their Auras shown to you, and every unhook from one reveals all other Survivors for 5/6/7 seconds. That read only fires when a rescue actually happens, so a hook that stays occupied gives you nothing.
How to use it Rescues are what trigger it, so run it when you expect Survivors to unhook each other. Worthless against a team you plan to leave on the Hook.
Best for Scourge Hook: Jagged Compass shares the same four Hooks, so the two read the same map. Rampage and Enduring deal with what happens when a rescue goes wrong.

What wiki.gg doesn't tell you
Scourge Hook Floods of Rage is one of the strongest Scourge Hook aura perks because the 7 second reveal covers full chase time. The trick nobody documents: the reveal applies to the rescuer as well, so the killer often sees the rescuer running toward the hook for a guaranteed chase. I have caught several off-brand rescuer survivors because of this reveal, which feels almost unfair in the killer's favour. At high MMR, Floods of Rage is rated A tier because it converts every Scourge Hook rescue into a chase. Pair with BBQ and Chili for the meta aura-read stack and Pain Resonance for gen pressure. Note: survivors who know which hooks are Scourge Hooks will avoid them, denying the perk value.
