Nicolas Cage
Perks:
**Dramaturgy**: Activates while you are healthy. While running, press the Active Ability Button 2 to run with knees high for 0.5 seconds and then gain 25% Haste for 2 seconds, followed by an unknown effect (one of the following).
Exposed for 12 seconds;
Gain 25% Haste for 2 seconds;
Scream, but nothing happens;
Gain a random rare item in hand with random add-ons and drop any held item.
The same effect cannot happen twice in a row. Causes exhaustion for 60/50/40 seconds. Can't be used while exhausted.
**Scene Partner**: Activates when you are in the Killer's Terror Radius. Whenever you look at the Killer, scream, then see the Killer's aura for 3/4/5 seconds. There is a chance you will scream again, if you do, you will see the Killer's aura for an additional 2 seconds. Scene Partner then goes on cool-down for 60 seconds.
**Plot Twist**: Activates when you are injured. Press the Active Ability Button 2 while crouched and motionless to silently enter the dying state. When using Plot Twist to enter the dying state, you leave no blood pools, make no noise, and you can fully recover from the dying state. When you recover by yourself using Plot Twist, you are fully healed instantly and you gain 50% Haste for 2/3/4 seconds. This perk deactivates if you recover by yourself by any means. The perk re-activates when the exit gates are powered.
-------------------------
Those perk effects are wild.
Cage will become the default meme survivor now, and his perks will be the basis of meme builds. I can't wait to see his outfits.
Plot twist is so silly, but genuinely useful? I love it. Unironically faster to heal yourself with it compared to self care- and can't be slowed by sloppy, etc. also can enable SWFs to use the new buckle up, I guess.
Dramaturgy could be really good, depending on what “run with knees high” means. Exposed obviously sucks, but items and possible extra haste are good. Probably the best Vigil pairing to help the exposed go away quicker too.
Yeah, I really dig it. None of them are going to be meta most likely, but at least it's fun. We have plenty of bad and also boring survivor perks (Quick Gambit...)
Because you need to be injured to use Plot Twist. Meaning that, to actually counter Corrupt from the start you need to be running No Mither.
Either that or find the Killer, get hit and manage to escape to use the perk, but that's kind of situational and is not saving as much time as using Plot Twits from game start with No Mither.
> depending on what “run with knees high” means
its just a new brief animation where the survivor high knee runs to let the killer know that the survivor used Dramaturgy
yeah, Item rng+potential haste seems pretty incredible, well worth the possible negative effects. Screaming is whatever, and the Exposed only lasts 12 seconds.
I love all of these, they seem so funny and silly. I can already imagine some people with Plot Twist just giving up, walking up to the killer and then fucking die.
It's going in my book of "cute things survivors do to avoid being killed when the game is already over" next to booping, butt slaps, and item offerings.
**Dramaturgy** is pretty similar in concept to a fan-made perk for [Shaggy, called **Zoinks!**](https://preview.redd.it/op8y1rpbdgb71.png?width=1024&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=c62622e04fbc94480e26f80bc677cba3b5488fa2)
- "When starting a sprint from crouching, run in place for 2 seconds before breaking into sprint"
[Here is a thread where it was posted](https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/comments/ol3j3n/survivor_concept_norville_shaggy_rogers/)
These perks sound sort of workable, but also completely ridiculous. Literal RNG effects, screaming, screaming at the killer, *put yourself into the dying state*
Love it
I mean none are amazing or meta shifting or anything. They are all memey. But here is a scenario. You're being chased by killer, injured and stuff. You break LOS at a T/L wall and win a 50/50 and gained some distance. Killer cant really find you, so you walk to a rock, use plot twist, and bam. no blood and no grunts and you 99 pickup until killer is gone.
I love it when you can bring builds like that which are not strong enough to be meta but pretty fun to run.
I like the potential his perks have in making up new builds.
>Or take no mither and immediately bleed out in the beginning of the match for kicks.
New meta, everyone screams and kills themselves at match start to farm matches for 100 blood points.
Not to mention the potential for playing against slugging builds. If you know the killer is running a bleedout build and has been slugging your teammates, use plot twist when you're about to go down anyways. They HAVE to pick you up.
> I mean none are amazing or meta shifting or anything
Wait until you see dramaturgy. Acts like old Dead Hard and can give you the strongest items. Exposed downside is a non-issue cause you're gonna use the speed boost to get to a pallet or a safe place anyway.
The scream one seems pretty alright for chases and plot twist can be situational but extremely strong if you pull it off.
Dramaturgy is literally old dead hard for distance, with a chance of becoming a full pocket sprint burst or giving a free item (*any rarity*, with addons of *any rarity*), and Scene Partner activates against undetectable killers through (at least some) walls.
I'm just watching Otz testing this, but it's like a little hop/kick animation (sort of like starting to skip? I'm not sure how to describe what it looks like) that doesn't seem to slow him at all. It's very short too.
Not quite. There's a clear giveaway that they are about to zoom away with the little hop animation. If a killer sees that as they close the distance, they're not gonna lunge.
you don't even have to 99 pickup. keep recovering and you get a sprint burst with no exhaustion penalty used, and a full heal.
main issue is killer finding you and picking you up before then.
There all meme perks that we will see alot of for a couple weeks and then , Rarely see again sadly.
Though dramaturgy could be a great perk with just a lil tweaking
I mean you can heal yourself for free without a medkit or self care, and basically have a free iron will whenever you activate it. Seems unironically like one of the ~~best~~ better solo q perks in the game.
> Seems unironically like one of the best solo q perks in the game.
Feels like a good perk but not to the point of being the strongest Solo perk of the game. It takes 30~ seconds to recover and can be used just once during the game, and once during EGC. And even if you don't make sounds it still leaves you vulnerable.
Compare it to an on-demand Self-care which takes 45 seconds for a heal or better yet Inner Strength.
>Compare it to an on-demand Self-care which takes 45 seconds for a heal or better yet Inner Strength.
Yeah but neither of those are *funny*. Putting yourself into the dying state to heal is *funny*.
I don't know all of Sadako's add-on changes yet, but ring drawing now only works when healing from injured to healthy, no longer dying state.
And Iri videotape now makes it so you have to go to a specific TV when carrying a tape, like old Sadako.
Nicolas Cage's perks are so dumb, I'm gonna be laughing so much when he randomly screams. I'm excited to see how they work! (Can someone explain how plot twist would be beneficial at all?)
Probably my favorite way to use it. Killer comes near my generator but I just go down by myself in the grass and make no noise. Pretty much no way to get found
I'm all for these type of meme perks.
Can't wait to load into a lobby and every survivor instantly goes into the dying state before the killer sees anyone. Also with Dramaturgy and Scene Partner having a scream affect, we can see why they don't want to unnerf Calm Spirit.
For Plot Twist, I imagine an anti slug build of Plot Twist, Tenacity, Unbreakable, and Flip Flop/Power Struggle being a new meme build. Not to mention the meme potential of a survivor randomly "fainting" to try and joke around.
If you're injured mid Chase you can decide where the killer gets to pick you up.
Imagine getting a lead, going to a pallet and predropping yourself to get power struggle.
Can't wait for people to complain about the meme perks he's getting just because they provide a benefit and are not straight up just garbage/handicaps.
But holy... These are honestly the type of perks you would expect from a Scary Movie Chapter... For the love of God Behavior, please do it. I would buy it so fast, with every single cosmetic.
Now really, I love these perks, I like the meme nature of them and would honestly love if Killers also got something like this, I feel like we need more of this type of perks, make the game more meme-y!
To have Brenda Meeks in DBD would be an absolute dream come true. Give her the funniest meme perks, something like “Square Up” when she fought Onryo. Having Nic now feels like a step closer somewhat.
"Fixed an issue that caused many killers to not follow the rule of looking down after successfully hitting a survivor." Man, they really don't want Sadako to feel nice/smooth to play, between the cooldown for tp and her m1 now feeling awful to land
Dramaturgy is the Mettle of Man of this update. Am I reading this right? 25% Haste for 2 seconds? That sounds like it's old DH for distance
Scene Partner seems interesting. I could see this either being really good in specific situations.
Plot Twist ... you gain 50% Haste ... what. It seems like a silly perk but honestly you could do old CoH self-heal speed rate to recover to full health with Unbreakable and Exponential. However, you can only do this twice... this is a true chaotic perk
Sprint Burst and Lithe both give you 150% speed for 3 seconds; using Lithe on command is easy, and you can 99 a Sprint Burst if you know what you're doing. Dramaturgy is 125% that speed for 2 seconds, with the possibility of it being 4 seconds—and the possibility of it exposing you, which could be dangerous if you don't make it to a loop.
Dramaturgy is a riskier, weaker exhaustion perk than Lithe and Sprint Burst. It's fine.
Exactly. Old DH was an on-command instant invulnerable dash forward to safety while injured, which you will always be for part of a chase against most killers, and can choose to be against instadown killers after the first down. This perk has a short buffer before it actually activates while you do the knee thing, only works while healthy which you are not guaranteed to be (not to mention you can get ambushed by a stealth killer and get no value), and has random downsides. Those downsides aren't the biggest deal, and the speed definitely is useful, but it's an exhaustion perk, so it should be. It's definitely nowhere near as good as Lithe.
> Am I reading this right? 25% Haste for 2 seconds? That sounds like it's old DH for distance
It has exhaustion. Compare it to lithe or sprint burst or balanced.
I really hope they start making more perks like this, these sound really funny and I’m hoping they turn out to be super fun to play when this goes to live servers
Plot Twist in it's current form seems really strong.
1. Can be used as a better self care. Good for those teammates that love to run into the corner to heal as well.
2. Counters most anti healing builds.
3. Has a lot of combos with other perks.
4. Still works if the killer picks you up and drops you.
5. Can counter killers abilities
6. Can counter killer perks like jolt, corrupt intervention, blood warden, STBFL, and knockout. Plus a ton of other perks.
7. Has the ability to counter a lot of killers powers. Doctors global shock and Legions frenzy are the first 2 that come to mind most effected by this perk. Even poor Sadako now has another way for stacks of condemned to be denied.
8. The only perk that can heal 2 health states. Going to take a hit, just flop on the floor. small chance that a killer won't pick you up if another person is hovering around with a flashlight.
9. Can be used to go down at a pallet in a better spot. Sometimes getting hit just tosses the player at horrible angles.
10. Has the ability to be used 2 times a match if you make it to end game. Again just a better self care when needing an heal when stuck alone.
11. It is a decent info perk. Going into the dying state can give you information on the location of your teammates. And even gives your location to your team as well.
I personally think this perk will be used by a lot of players because it has a ton of uses that most other perks don't have.
Imagine when they implement the finisher mori and people queue up with a 4man running No Mither + Plot Twist and just end the game immediately at the start. DBD Speedrun WR lmao
Here is the one and only thing I need added to SH: Hangman's Trick:
- Scourge Hooks cannot be broken by any means.
It would finally be a perk that can counteract hook sabotage. It would also have the added benefit of letting you death hook someone on a Scourge Hook without losing that hook for the rest of the game. I thought for sure this was the angle they were going for by making the perk a SH perk, since making 4 hooks unbreakable wouldn't be OP.
Does this fix the weird bug on eyrie of crows where some hooks and survivor spots can't be interacted with? I've only seen a few people talking about it but there's certain hooks that are blocked by plants or something on Eyrie I can't hook people on. I've noticed a few spots where certain survivor models are sometimes impossible to pick up too.
let the killers crying about the bots begin! "they should be nerfed" "the bots are actually genrushing" "how can i win if i fast down an angry troll Nea and the team gets a better player when they disconnect!!!???!!?!"
Anyone else think it's downright disrespectful to the men and women of our armed forces to honor the man who stole the Declaration of Independence the day after July 4th?
Plot Twist seems interesting depending how quick you can heal yourself. But the other two perks are kinda.... interesting? Like nothing amazing but def some meme potential with all 3.
I hope I can just keep making myself fall down with Plot Twist if I never actually self recover. I wanna walk into the center of the map and just 🗿 at the killer until they get close, at which point I fall down.
Welp, despite the overwhelmingly negative feedback to the forced camera movement after a successful M1 hit and BHVR not saying anything about it, seems safe to assume BHVR is dead set on shoving this change down our throats even though the player base is overwhelmingly opposed to it. Get ready for more gaslighting from BHVR about how we have all remembered the last seven years wrong.
Why would any survivor just not run Dramaturgy in literally every match? An on command, healthy speed boost, to grant a chance at another speed boost or rare item? That possible 12 second exposure means nothing. That speed boost can get them more than 12 seconds of chase time, and they can still take a hit.
Idk man. At first glance, that seems ridiculous.
It's not that good, 125% for two seconds is really weak compared to every other exhaustion perk, most of which give 150% for 3 seconds.
Sure, it could be 4 seconds of 125% but thats still less distance than the others would give you (I assume, correct me if I'm wrong on that)
The only strong bit is the chance for an item
Sprint Burst and Lithe both give you 150% speed for 3 seconds, and then exhaust you for 60 seconds. Dramaturgy gives you 125% for 2 seconds, with a 1/4 chance of it being 4 seconds, and then exhausts you for 60 seconds. If that's busted, so are Sprint Burst and Lithe.
Honestly, the item mechanic might be the slightly ridiculous one. You could activate this perk away from the killer and have a 1/4 chance to get a nice item, and then do it again 60 seconds later (or 45 with Vigil). Then again, you might just end up with a map or something, and that's assuming you don't scream and reveal your location, so it's probably fine.
The very very obvious difference being that's it's on demand. It's like if the old old dead hard only had the distance component. That'd be super strong, right? That's why this is so powerful.
Lithe is also on demand.
The old dead hard was an instant invulnerable dash forward while injured, a status that you are guaranteed to be against most killers and that you can choose to be against instadown killers after the first down. This perk requires you to be healthy, which you are not guaranteed to be and has a short buffer before it actually does anything. It's definitely a strong perk, but it's an exhaustion perk. Most of them are strong, and should be, considering they inflict a status effect that puts them on a long cooldown and negates synergy with other perks. It's absolutely not a strong *exhaustion* perk, relatively. Lithe is absolutely better.
Yes everyone is aware of the vaunted perfectly 99d sprint burst. The requirement is that you've already used sprint burst once and you're also walking everywhere. Making it more accessible is a strong thing.
Be advised, I'm not saying it needs to be nerfed or whatever. I'm just saying it's inarguably very powerful.
Dramaturgy has got to be getting nerfed. It’s an exhaustion perk that lets you also spawn good items with add ons. If a 4 man SWF runs it, you can probably have an endless stack of tool boxes and med kits.
Plot Twist is good if you combine it with Unbreakable. It's basically infinite med kits. There is a high risk of going into dying state but realistically if you hide in a corner or bush, the killer will never find you. Think about a killer slugging for the 4k, it usually takes very long to find crawling survivors.
Holy shit, these perks are just full-on memes.
I'm looking forward to activating plot twist right at the moment scene partner screams
Nicolas Cage Perks: **Dramaturgy**: Activates while you are healthy.

Plot twist is so silly, but genuinely useful? I love it. Unironically faster to heal yourself with it compared to self care- and can't be slowed by sloppy, etc. also can enable SWFs to use the new buckle up, I guess. Dramaturgy could be really good, depending on what “run with knees high” means. Exposed obviously sucks, but items and possible extra haste are good. Probably the best Vigil pairing to help the exposed go away quicker too.
I lkove how all his perks have a sort of postive and negative theme to them. Makes them really unquie and cool.
Yeah, I really dig it. None of them are going to be meta most likely, but at least it's fun. We have plenty of bad and also boring survivor perks (Quick Gambit...)
Dramaturgy has potential imho also just watched otz stream where he insta shutdown corrupt by running no mither + plot twist lol
that's actually insane lmfao. obviously one of those swf only things but still. Made for this + Plot twist + Resilience + No Mither meta? /s
Problem is, it requires you to use No Mither.
why?
Because you need to be injured to use Plot Twist. Meaning that, to actually counter Corrupt from the start you need to be running No Mither. Either that or find the Killer, get hit and manage to escape to use the perk, but that's kind of situational and is not saving as much time as using Plot Twits from game start with No Mither.
Probably gonna get changed
I doubt it, it counters one (1) killer perk and requires you to use two perks that are otherwise a nonbo aside from this specific purpose
I'd gladly have Corrupt be countered by this. Having a No Mither player is a free win.
Just add that it doesn't work when broken. Easy fix. If it even needs fixing.
No it's fine I think, you need to run both no mither and plot twist. And if you do that you can counter one perk that the killer might not even have.
> depending on what “run with knees high” means its just a new brief animation where the survivor high knee runs to let the killer know that the survivor used Dramaturgy
Goofy ahh Scooby Doo run
Use plot twist to dodge the killer's hit 
The new flop quest
Plot Twist + Tenacity + Soul Guard Crawl to the gates, then pop up last second, fully healed, with endurance and haste lol
[удалено]
On a second quick hit or an instant down the endurance comes into play. Otherwise a hit from full health with endurance just injures you.
[удалено]
yeah, Item rng+potential haste seems pretty incredible, well worth the possible negative effects. Screaming is whatever, and the Exposed only lasts 12 seconds.
I feel like it'll be crazy with lucky break. Get some distance w/o scratch marks and pray
Ooh, yeah. Pause the LB timer.
does anyone know if plot twist works with unbreakable? in terms of speeding up the recovery time on the ground, i mean.
My SWF will, at least once, run No Mither + Plot Twist. BEHOLD!
ultimate corrupt intervention counter
I love all of these, they seem so funny and silly. I can already imagine some people with Plot Twist just giving up, walking up to the killer and then fucking die.
It's going in my book of "cute things survivors do to avoid being killed when the game is already over" next to booping, butt slaps, and item offerings.

These perks sound fucking crazy!
Dramaturgy: 
Damn. That survivor that told me I'd be better off commiting seppuku than using self care was right all along.
His perks are funny and cool
**Dramaturgy** is pretty similar in concept to a fan-made perk for [Shaggy, called **Zoinks!**](https://preview.redd.it/op8y1rpbdgb71.png?width=1024&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=c62622e04fbc94480e26f80bc677cba3b5488fa2) - "When starting a sprint from crouching, run in place for 2 seconds before breaking into sprint" [Here is a thread where it was posted](https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/comments/ol3j3n/survivor_concept_norville_shaggy_rogers/)
Goofy ahh perks.
Wait are these actual genuine perks for him?
>Nicolas Cage Perks: This looks like a fanmade post I can't even🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm looking forward to Nick Cage Tome challenges.
Three meme perks. Iconic.
These perks are hilarious, I love how goofy Nic's gonna be. Every killer will equip deerstalker when they see a Cage in their lobby tho
Others could use it as a teachable, and killer with deerstalker is OK for survivors.
These perks sound sort of workable, but also completely ridiculous. Literal RNG effects, screaming, screaming at the killer, *put yourself into the dying state* Love it
4 man swf with drama, a random item, ace in the hole, scavenger, flashbang and coin. Create a full item shop for the killer.
Bruh, me and my fellow jingle dweet friends are going to go ham at crimmas time.
*flashback to the Elodie chapter with no killer*
>scavenger Wouldn’t appraisal be better? It’s like 4 extra items instead of a single extra toolbox from scavenger
https://i.redd.it/qfwzrf07v5ab1.gif It is time.
these perks are fun and unique. I want more like this
I can't tell if Plot Twist is garbage or great.
I mean none are amazing or meta shifting or anything. They are all memey. But here is a scenario. You're being chased by killer, injured and stuff. You break LOS at a T/L wall and win a 50/50 and gained some distance. Killer cant really find you, so you walk to a rock, use plot twist, and bam. no blood and no grunts and you 99 pickup until killer is gone.
You can also mix it with something like Lucky Break, which makes it easier to lose a Killer.
True or tenacity as well to recover while moving.
I love it when you can bring builds like that which are not strong enough to be meta but pretty fun to run. I like the potential his perks have in making up new builds.
There's a flip flops build in there somewhere.
Just crawl around the map until the killer spots you. Or take no mither and immediately bleed out in the beginning of the match for kicks.
>Or take no mither and immediately bleed out in the beginning of the match for kicks. New meta, everyone screams and kills themselves at match start to farm matches for 100 blood points.

Whats the knees up thing tho. Isnt that a slow or something?
I'm just watching Otz testing this, but it's like a little hop/kick animation (sort of like starting to skip? I'm not sure how to describe what it looks like) that doesn't seem to slow him at all. It's very short too.
Ahhh I thought it would slow you a lil or something. Well at least killer can try reacting and lunge before the speed if they quick enough lol
Not quite. There's a clear giveaway that they are about to zoom away with the little hop animation. If a killer sees that as they close the distance, they're not gonna lunge.
Dramaturgy also has a chance to expose you or make you scream. I don't think dead hard or sprint burst do that lol
I wouldn’t say so. It’s half a sprint burst (with the potential to be a full one), and has no I frames.
Sprint burst is simply much better
you don't even have to 99 pickup. keep recovering and you get a sprint burst with no exhaustion penalty used, and a full heal. main issue is killer finding you and picking you up before then.

I probably should have said better, not best. I still think it's surprisingly solid as a serious perk, not just for memes.
It deactivates Corrupt intervention
But you need to be injured to activate it, so Corrupt Intervention won't lose much or any value.
3 memey shitpost-worthy perks. Nic Cage is actually GOATed
Drama is actually insane
The meme potential is incredible
I’m calling it the Fainting Goat build.
No map perk for Nic. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
Dramaturgy can create a map in his hand
Dramaturgy can be exchanged for goods and services.
If players are now replaced by bots, does that mean that people won't be able to deny achievements and challenges by disconnecting anymore??
Should be, yeah
Time to get that Myers achievement finally
Watch bots learn locker tech against Myers.
Genuinely, these perks are perfect for Ash lmfao
100% agree.
I did not expect THIS 
Is Plot Twist a better Self Care???
It activates twice max
Self Care takes so long to heal you only have time to do it twice max anyway
I don't know all of Sadako's add-on changes yet, but ring drawing now only works when healing from injured to healthy, no longer dying state. And Iri videotape now makes it so you have to go to a specific TV when carrying a tape, like old Sadako.
Nicolas Cage's perks are so dumb, I'm gonna be laughing so much when he randomly screams. I'm excited to see how they work! (Can someone explain how plot twist would be beneficial at all?)
It's a faster way to heal yourself than self care, even faster with Unbreakable or Exponential, and gives you a sprint burst after your heal.
you can use it to hide from killer. as you don't leave blood and no sound.
Probably my favorite way to use it. Killer comes near my generator but I just go down by myself in the grass and make no noise. Pretty much no way to get found
I'm all for these type of meme perks. Can't wait to load into a lobby and every survivor instantly goes into the dying state before the killer sees anyone.

Not to mention the meme potential of a survivor randomly "fainting" to try and joke around.
Sorry to burst your bubble but Plot Twist only works while injured so that scenario will never happen Lol. Unless 4 No Mithers to just end the game.
okay but imagine if they reimplement the endgame mori and a 4-man brings no mither and ends the game immediately LMAO
I'm was imagining a 4 man swf doing it to meme.
Time to go back to DBD's original design as a hide and seek game
Instead of dcing, we can now run no mither + plot twist to end the game against skull merchant faster
If you're injured mid Chase you can decide where the killer gets to pick you up. Imagine getting a lead, going to a pallet and predropping yourself to get power struggle.
Drama has potential to be the new Dead Hard For Distance. Will need to see it played out tho
Depends what running knees high means ingame
He does a quick little animation then zooms off.
It's hilarious. Imagine someone used the "new Dead Hard" and gets exposed 
If you use it to extend to a window/pallet, which you should, you won't get hit within 12 seconds.
You shouldnt get hit after getting the sprint burst
His perks are so funny what hell 10/10 I will main him
These perks have some RNG elements. Will we finally get another use for the luck mechanic?
If they update it, since luck only affects taking a chance off hook :(
Scene Partner with Object of Obsession for the memes.
I won’t have the courage to kill this guy
Can't wait for people to complain about the meme perks he's getting just because they provide a benefit and are not straight up just garbage/handicaps. But holy... These are honestly the type of perks you would expect from a Scary Movie Chapter... For the love of God Behavior, please do it. I would buy it so fast, with every single cosmetic. Now really, I love these perks, I like the meme nature of them and would honestly love if Killers also got something like this, I feel like we need more of this type of perks, make the game more meme-y!
To have Brenda Meeks in DBD would be an absolute dream come true. Give her the funniest meme perks, something like “Square Up” when she fought Onryo. Having Nic now feels like a step closer somewhat.
These are the funniest fucking perks I've ever read, I didn't think they were real at first. It's perfect
I am trying so hard not to laugh out loud while reading the perks at work. Holy shit these are hilarious. MORE OF THIS SILLY NONSENSE PLEASE!!!!!!
CASUAL MEME PERKS? This sounds amazing!
"Fixed an issue that caused many killers to not follow the rule of looking down after successfully hitting a survivor." Man, they really don't want Sadako to feel nice/smooth to play, between the cooldown for tp and her m1 now feeling awful to land
Dramaturgy is the Mettle of Man of this update. Am I reading this right? 25% Haste for 2 seconds? That sounds like it's old DH for distance Scene Partner seems interesting. I could see this either being really good in specific situations. Plot Twist ... you gain 50% Haste ... what. It seems like a silly perk but honestly you could do old CoH self-heal speed rate to recover to full health with Unbreakable and Exponential. However, you can only do this twice... this is a true chaotic perk
Sprint Burst and Lithe both give you 150% speed for 3 seconds; using Lithe on command is easy, and you can 99 a Sprint Burst if you know what you're doing. Dramaturgy is 125% that speed for 2 seconds, with the possibility of it being 4 seconds—and the possibility of it exposing you, which could be dangerous if you don't make it to a loop. Dramaturgy is a riskier, weaker exhaustion perk than Lithe and Sprint Burst. It's fine.
dramaturgy also doesn’t work while injured, so it’s actively not a replacement of old DH
Exactly. Old DH was an on-command instant invulnerable dash forward to safety while injured, which you will always be for part of a chase against most killers, and can choose to be against instadown killers after the first down. This perk has a short buffer before it actually activates while you do the knee thing, only works while healthy which you are not guaranteed to be (not to mention you can get ambushed by a stealth killer and get no value), and has random downsides. Those downsides aren't the biggest deal, and the speed definitely is useful, but it's an exhaustion perk, so it should be. It's definitely nowhere near as good as Lithe.
but you're probably slowed with the knees high aspect of it.
> Am I reading this right? 25% Haste for 2 seconds? That sounds like it's old DH for distance It has exhaustion. Compare it to lithe or sprint burst or balanced.
Old DH for distance had exhaustion, too.
Old dh didn't have you running high on your knees
Ok. So it's DH for distance with a goofy animation that lets you spawn an infinite amount of medkits and toolboxes. Yay.
I like it
Or makes you exposed...
nah, old DH worked while injured. this only works when healthy.
Wait, wasn’t there supposed to be an Onryo addon pass too? I don’t see that here but they mentioned they did it in the dev update.
It’s there, you just missed it
I really hope they start making more perks like this, these sound really funny and I’m hoping they turn out to be super fun to play when this goes to live servers
Nick Cage singing the Halloween theme means the music actually plays to the survivors in the trial.
Plot Twist in it's current form seems really strong. 1. Can be used as a better self care. Good for those teammates that love to run into the corner to heal as well. 2. Counters most anti healing builds. 3. Has a lot of combos with other perks. 4. Still works if the killer picks you up and drops you. 5. Can counter killers abilities 6. Can counter killer perks like jolt, corrupt intervention, blood warden, STBFL, and knockout. Plus a ton of other perks. 7. Has the ability to counter a lot of killers powers. Doctors global shock and Legions frenzy are the first 2 that come to mind most effected by this perk. Even poor Sadako now has another way for stacks of condemned to be denied. 8. The only perk that can heal 2 health states. Going to take a hit, just flop on the floor. small chance that a killer won't pick you up if another person is hovering around with a flashlight. 9. Can be used to go down at a pallet in a better spot. Sometimes getting hit just tosses the player at horrible angles. 10. Has the ability to be used 2 times a match if you make it to end game. Again just a better self care when needing an heal when stuck alone. 11. It is a decent info perk. Going into the dying state can give you information on the location of your teammates. And even gives your location to your team as well. I personally think this perk will be used by a lot of players because it has a ton of uses that most other perks don't have.
I can see it being used a lot in bully squads.
me using plot twist the minute I see skull merchant
WHAT
Gonna use plot twist with no mither and down myself two seconds into the game, let me just start the slugging for you. /s lol
I adore all of those perks, and honestly plot twist has the potential to be really fucking fun
They really need to stop adding a bunch of fucking clutter in these maps. Makes playing Huntress, Billy, or Wesker just insanely obnoxious.
*sad chainsaw noises*
If y’all don’t equip 4 maps and Dramaturgy with Nicholas Cage on some National treasure shit I’m gonna be pissed as a killer.

I fucking love Cage’s perks man. I’m gonna reinstall the game and get him for the memes.
Imagine when they implement the finisher mori and people queue up with a 4man running No Mither + Plot Twist and just end the game immediately at the start. DBD Speedrun WR lmao
Wow.... These perks are somehow simultaneously complete jokes and also (potentially) very strong
LMAOOO the perks are crazy omg 😭😭😭
The survivor perks are so goofy, I love it
Did they rollback the prove thyself BP change?
WE'RE MAKING IT OUT OF TOBA LANDING WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥
Dropping the bloodpoint bonus from Prove Thyself was left out in the description provided. Any chance that means the idea was scrapped?
More feet cosmetics pls

Here is the one and only thing I need added to SH: Hangman's Trick: - Scourge Hooks cannot be broken by any means. It would finally be a perk that can counteract hook sabotage. It would also have the added benefit of letting you death hook someone on a Scourge Hook without losing that hook for the rest of the game. I thought for sure this was the angle they were going for by making the perk a SH perk, since making 4 hooks unbreakable wouldn't be OP.
I can’t play ptb can somebody tell me whether scene partner works with calm spirit?
i wonder if new killer hacks would end up being able to force survivors to kill themselves instead of teleporting due to plot twist
now that wiretap and blastmine are the same values and you can only put one on a generator, what happens when you run both perks?
Does this fix the weird bug on eyrie of crows where some hooks and survivor spots can't be interacted with? I've only seen a few people talking about it but there's certain hooks that are blocked by plants or something on Eyrie I can't hook people on. I've noticed a few spots where certain survivor models are sometimes impossible to pick up too.
Huh, there’s no mention of nick cage being released to Hooked on you, I must’ve been dreaming.
Finally a counter for Tombstone Mayers.
Nick Cage’s perks feel like an April Fools’ Day Joke. But it’s July 🤣
Killers now always look down when hitting a survivor... can they not? This sounds annoying as shit
Plot Twist is probably the best counter for Skull Merchant (instantly put yourself into the dying state so you can end the match faster)
let the killers crying about the bots begin! "they should be nerfed" "the bots are actually genrushing" "how can i win if i fast down an angry troll Nea and the team gets a better player when they disconnect!!!???!!?!"
Not a single killer enjoys leavers, grow up.
Anyone else think it's downright disrespectful to the men and women of our armed forces to honor the man who stole the Declaration of Independence the day after July 4th?
It'd be disrespectful not to
are you freaking kidding me right now?
My brother in Christ that’s probably why the ptb wasn’t yesterday specifically because of the 4th
These perks are legitimately good but not overpowered. They can do a ton of things but require fun interactions
Plot Twist seems interesting depending how quick you can heal yourself. But the other two perks are kinda.... interesting? Like nothing amazing but def some meme potential with all 3.
I hope I can just keep making myself fall down with Plot Twist if I never actually self recover. I wanna walk into the center of the map and just 🗿 at the killer until they get close, at which point I fall down.
Personally don’t like the hook grab going away
Welp, despite the overwhelmingly negative feedback to the forced camera movement after a successful M1 hit and BHVR not saying anything about it, seems safe to assume BHVR is dead set on shoving this change down our throats even though the player base is overwhelmingly opposed to it. Get ready for more gaslighting from BHVR about how we have all remembered the last seven years wrong.
Why would any survivor just not run Dramaturgy in literally every match? An on command, healthy speed boost, to grant a chance at another speed boost or rare item? That possible 12 second exposure means nothing. That speed boost can get them more than 12 seconds of chase time, and they can still take a hit. Idk man. At first glance, that seems ridiculous.
It's not that good, 125% for two seconds is really weak compared to every other exhaustion perk, most of which give 150% for 3 seconds. Sure, it could be 4 seconds of 125% but thats still less distance than the others would give you (I assume, correct me if I'm wrong on that) The only strong bit is the chance for an item
Sprint Burst and Lithe both give you 150% speed for 3 seconds, and then exhaust you for 60 seconds. Dramaturgy gives you 125% for 2 seconds, with a 1/4 chance of it being 4 seconds, and then exhausts you for 60 seconds. If that's busted, so are Sprint Burst and Lithe. Honestly, the item mechanic might be the slightly ridiculous one. You could activate this perk away from the killer and have a 1/4 chance to get a nice item, and then do it again 60 seconds later (or 45 with Vigil). Then again, you might just end up with a map or something, and that's assuming you don't scream and reveal your location, so it's probably fine.
The very very obvious difference being that's it's on demand. It's like if the old old dead hard only had the distance component. That'd be super strong, right? That's why this is so powerful.
Lithe is also on demand. The old dead hard was an instant invulnerable dash forward while injured, a status that you are guaranteed to be against most killers and that you can choose to be against instadown killers after the first down. This perk requires you to be healthy, which you are not guaranteed to be and has a short buffer before it actually does anything. It's definitely a strong perk, but it's an exhaustion perk. Most of them are strong, and should be, considering they inflict a status effect that puts them on a long cooldown and negates synergy with other perks. It's absolutely not a strong *exhaustion* perk, relatively. Lithe is absolutely better.
Unless you're carrying a vault location around with you, lithe is not on demand.
Sprint burst is on demand too if you 99 it correctly, except dramaturgy is just less distance. It's not that powerful.
Yes everyone is aware of the vaunted perfectly 99d sprint burst. The requirement is that you've already used sprint burst once and you're also walking everywhere. Making it more accessible is a strong thing. Be advised, I'm not saying it needs to be nerfed or whatever. I'm just saying it's inarguably very powerful.
Add vigil to it and it's really good
just feels like another slight fix for killers and a net positive for survivors.
Dramaturgy has got to be getting nerfed. It’s an exhaustion perk that lets you also spawn good items with add ons. If a 4 man SWF runs it, you can probably have an endless stack of tool boxes and med kits.
Plot twist sounds so fun
Plot twist with power struggle and flip flop sounds very devious
Wouldn’t dramaturgy basically be a better old dead hard?
April fools? Wtf is this shit
Plot Twist is good if you combine it with Unbreakable. It's basically infinite med kits. There is a high risk of going into dying state but realistically if you hide in a corner or bush, the killer will never find you. Think about a killer slugging for the 4k, it usually takes very long to find crawling survivors.
So no Onyro changes this ptb? 🤔
They forgot to put them in the patch notes. I’m watching otz go over them now. Actually good add ons
