Perk Loadout

This loadout focuses on stalling generator progress while you maintain map presence.

  • Pain Resonance — regress the most progressed gen on hook
  • Pop Goes the Weasel — burst gen regression after hooks
  • Corrupt Intervention — block far gens at the start
  • Lethal Pursuer — locate survivors instantly

Game Plan

Apply early pressure with Corrupt, then snowball with hook-based regression.

  • Use Lethal Pursuer to find an early chase
  • Hook quickly to trigger Pain Resonance
  • Kick the gen you just regressed with Pop

Tips

Avoid tunneling early — spreading hooks maximizes your slowdown value.

  • Patrol the three strongest gens
  • Don't commit to long chases against good loopers
  • Track the Pain Resonance scream to your next target
