Boon Perks
Boon Perks are Perks
that interact with and depend on the Boon Totem Mechanic, which was introduced with Patch 5.3.0, alongside Mikaela Reid
.
There are currently 5 Boon Perks available in Dead by Daylight
.
Overview
Boon Perks, like their Killer-equivalent, make use of the Totem Mechanic and are tied to a blessed Boon Totem
.
Boon Perks are only active for as long as their Boon Totem remains blessed and become inactive when snuffed out by the Killer.
Survivors can re-bless a snuffed-out Totem indefinitely.
Blessing
When a Survivor has equipped at least one Boon Perk, they can walk up to any Dull or Hex Totem and bless it, turning it into a Boon Totem after completion.
All equipped Boon Perks are applied simultaneously to the same Boon Totem.
The Boon Totem will give off a blue shimmer and soft, windchime-like sounds.
It takes Survivors 14 seconds to bless a Dull Totem and 28 seconds to bless a Hex Totem.
Blessing a Hex Totem will dispel its Hex.
Visual & Sound Effects
While within the radius of a Boon Totem, the Survivor's HUD displays a blue overlay around the edges of the screen.
Additionally, the Boon Totem emits a constant shimmering, wind-chime-like sound effect accompanied by a drone-sound.
When creating a Boon Totem, one of 3 distinct map-wide audio cue is played, which resemble the thunderclap sound of a Hex Totem having been cleansed, but less explosive.
Totem Aura
All Survivors can see the Aura
of any blessed Boon Totem at all times.
Stacking
It is possible for Boon Totems to be located close enough for their Areas of Effect to overlap.
In those overlapping areas, all effects from the various Boon Perks will apply.
However, if there are Perks with the same effect, only one instance of the effect will apply, meaning they will not stack.
