Overview[]
Equipping a Scourge Hook Perk transforms a few selected Hooks
, which are randomly selected throughout the Trial Grounds, into Scourge Hooks.
Scourge Hooks inflict Survivors, who are either hooked onto or unhooked from them, with various adverse effects, depending on the equipped Scourge Hook Perks.
Behaviour[]
Whenever a Scourge Hook Perk is equipped by the Killer, the game transforms 4 Hooks into Scourge Hooks.
This number is static and does not stack with other Scourge Hook Perks.
The only exception to this is the Perk Scourge Hook: Monstrous Shrine
, which transforms the Hooks inside the Basem*nt
in addition to the four regular Scourge Hooks.
If a Killer has several Scourge Hook Perks equipped, a Scourge Hook will apply all of their combined effects to the hooked/unhooked Survivor.
Visual Differences[]
As far as Survivors are concerned, Scourge Hooks are completely indistinguishable from regular Hooks.
The only exception to this is the Perk Saboteur
, which highlights Scourge Hooks in yellow to the Perk user whenever another Survivor is being carried by the Killer.
For the Killer, Scourge Hooks feature a special white outline emanate a smoky visual effect rising from their base, along with floating pieces of orange-glowing ashes.
As soon as the Killer carries a Survivor on their shoulder, the Auras
of Scourge Hooks are highlighted to them in white.
