(6) General Perk [Eruption] is changed to: If a damaged Generator has a yellow aura and a Survivor is in a Dying State at the same time, all affected Generators will explode, lose 10% progression, and start regressing.

(13) Changes to the general Killer's perk [Hex: No One Escapes Death]: Once the Exit Gates are powered, the Hex will activate any Dull Totem left on the Map: Survivors suffer from the Exposed effect, and you gain 2/3/4% Movement Speed.

This effect lingers for 0.5 seconds when the Killer no longer looks at you or goes out of range. The icon of Spine Chill reveals the current intensity of the Killer's Terror Radius.
(4) General Perk [Lightweight] is changed to: Scratch Marks are more scattered and last 3/4/5s less.
(5) Laurie Strode's Perk [Decisive Strike] is changed to: When unhooked (on her own or with the help of others), Decisive Strike becomes available for the next 40/50/60s. When grabbed by the Killer, a successful Skill Check will let you escape and stun the Killer for 3s. Decisive Strike then deactivates regardless of the success of the Skill Check. Once the Exit Gates are powered or when performing a Conspicuous Action, the Perk will deactivate. You are also more likely to become the Killer's Obsession.
(6) Bill Overbeck's Perk [Borrowed Time] is changed to: Endurance effect after being unhooked now lasts 6/8/10s. Haste effect after being unhooked now lasts 10s. Performing a Conspicuous Action deactivates the Borrowed Time effects.

(12) Changes to Laurie's [Sole Survivor]: Each time a Survivor is killed or sacrificed, you gain 1 Token. Each Token makes your Aura unreadable to the Killer within a radius of 20/22/24 meters.

(13) Changes to Jeff's [Distortion]: You start the match with 3 Tokens. Whenever the Killer reads your Aura, 1 Token is consumed to activate the Distortion Perk. No Token will be consumed if you are within the radius of Boon: Shadow Step. For 6/8/10 seconds after Perk activation, you will not leave any Scratch Marks and your Aura will be unreadable to the Killer. You gain back 1 Token (up to a max of 3) for every 30 seconds spent within the Killer's Terror Radius. Distortion does not activate if you are dying.
