Change Log

Patch 3.1.0

  • Nerf: added AFK Crows as a Deactivation condition.
    • This means that if and for as long as the Survivor using Head On has accrued at least 1 AFK Crow, they are unable to trigger the Perk.

Patch 3.7.0

  • Quality of Life:added a timer to the Perk icon in order to make it clearer when it will be ready.

Patch 8.1.0

  • Quality of Life: now correctly applies Overheat when stunning The SingularityIconHelpLoading singularity.pngIconHelpLoading singularity.pngIconHelpLoading singularity.png in Overclock Mode.

Patch 9.0.0

  • Reversal: removed AFK Crows as a Deactivation condition.
    • This change was likely a by-product of the AFK Crows Rework in the same Patch.


Trivia

  • Head On begins counting down from the moment the Character model is fully inside the LockerIconHelp lockers.pngIconHelp lockers.pngIconHelp lockers.png.
  • If a Killer carrying a Survivor gets stunned by Head On, they will release the carried Survivor.
  • If a Survivor performs a rushed action to leave a Locker with Head On equipped, the animation will be slightly different from the default one. The Survivor will burst out of the Locker with their arms crossed in an X shape compared to the normal animation.
