Trivia

• Activating For the People will trigger any Perk that has "injuring a Survivor by any means" as an activation condition, as trading your Health State with another Survivor transitions you into the Injured State, fulfilling that condition.
• For the People is a Health-State Switcher, meaning it tells Dead by Daylight to instantly change your and the other Survivor's Health State to a different one.
  • Because of this, Perks that rely on inputting Healing charges (i.e. Solidarity, which converts the Charges) do not benefit from the Health-State switch, as no Charges are exchanged.
• However, using For the People does activate Perks that have completing a Healing action as their activation condition.
