- Increases the Action Speed penalty by a further 12%, if there are 4 Survivors, who are either injured, dying, or hooked at the same time.

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.
