POP GOES THE WEASEL
After hooking a survivor, a random generator/a random generator/the most progressed generator on the map will explode and regress by 20/25/30%, normal regression applies after the explosion.
How I would change pop goes the weasel.

Heh, that might be way too strong, it's a huge snowball and if you can manage to hook survivors often, no progress will be made. I like the current version, the timer is just too short for most killers.
The thing is, PGTW is meant to force the killer to LEAVE the hook.
Right now, I think it is way to weak(situational), but the core mechanic should stay: get a good benefit for leaving the hook.
Maybe something like a longer timer and an indicator which gens are repaired to what level.
Just make the auras brighter the closer they are to getting done.
It just needs a longer timer.
A think it just need it's time increased by 15/30 seconds.
The default 30 seconds ain't enough for slow killers or non high-mobility killers.
It's a strong and underused perk imo if a killer keeps track of where a gen is being worked on and just hooks near them and kicks then it sets survivors way back on progress.
Nah, I love seeing one of the pistons stop moving, if it appened at distance I wouldn't see it... but seriously, the perk is fine, I would just add 15 seconds to the timer so even slower killers can use it better.
Considering Wraith's All Seeing - Spirit is ultra rare I doubt they would add a similar effect on a perk. PGTW is also very powerful in combo with that addon since you can apply maximum damage with every application of PGTW.
I stopped using this perk, because to often the gen I was going to (because I knew it was clsoe) popped just before I could reach it and the timer was to short to get to another gen.
The perk should give a visual indicator which gens are repaired the most, so I do not waste my time running to a gen that is not even touched.
Serious? You want to bring up an ultra rare to dismiss this?
Ultra rares are meant to be strong and the "All Seeing"-spirit add on on it's own is garbage and would only be strong with a good combo.
How often do you see Wraith player use this add on? Like ever?
No absolutely not.
Try to chill out, I'm just saying that the ability to know which gen is most completed is tied to an ultra rare, so it's highly unlikely they would add that to the perk itself.
What Pop Goes the Weasel needs is a token / charge system, where you get a token everytime you hook a survivor. Rushing away from a hook in order to take advantage from PGtW's short timer only causes more harm than good.
Again… the core mechanic of the perk is to reward the killer for leaving the hook.
With token to spend some other time, the system would not work.
It just needs to give you charges when you hook someone and not have it timed. That's it.
But it would not make killer leave the hook and that is the primary idea behind the whole thing.
They just need to make the perk so good, that it is worth leaving the hook.
-Increase the timer
-show which gens are repaired to what degree
-done
