Killer Power - Scent of Blood
The Houndmaster and her dog operate as one. Her commands are followed without question or delay.

Special Ability: Chase
The Chase Command sends the dog out at high speed. Pressing the Power button again redirects the Chase, pivoting the dog's path. When the dog catches a Survivor, the dog starts a Grab. The Survivor becomes Hindered and is pulled toward The Houndmaster. The Survivor can get free by stunning the dog or can be rescued by another Survivor. Grabs that end without Injury leave the Survivor Hindered. Grab duration is shorter for Survivors with the Endurance status effect.

Special Ability: Search
The Search Command sends the dog to a target location, creating a Search Path. It has its own lullaby and, as it moves, its Houndsense radius rises over distance traveled. Survivors who enter the radius are affected by Houndsense and revealed by Killer Instinct. If The Houndmaster follows the dog’s Search Path, she gains increased movement speed over time. Leaving the Search Path ends the bonus movement speed.

Special Effect: Houndsense
Healthy Survivors affected by Houndsense receive Deep Wounds when Injured. Injured Survivors affected by Houndsense suffer from louder Grunts of Pain and longer Pools of Blood when put into the Dying state.

New Killer Perks:

• All-Shaking Thunder
  After you fall from a height, your lunge attack distance is increased by 75/75/75% for 8/12/16 seconds.
  This perk has a 5/5/5-second cooldown.
  
  
• Scourge Hook: Jagged Compass
  At the start of the trial, up to 4 random hooks are changed into scourge hooks. You see their auras in white.
  When a Survivor is unhooked from a non-scourge hook, it becomes a scourge hook.
  When you hook a Survivor on a Scourge Hook, the aura of the generator with the most progress is revealed in yellow for 6/8/10 seconds.
  
  
• No Quarter
  When a Survivor reaches 75/75/75% of a self-heal, they are faced with continuous skill checks.
  If one of these skill checks is missed or the heal is interrupted, the Survivor becomes broken for 20/25/30 seconds.

New Survivor Perks:

• Invocation: Treacherous Crows
  When in the Basement near the circle, press the ability button 2 to begin the Invocation.
  Invocations take 60/60/60 seconds. Other Survivors will see your aura during this and can join an ongoing interaction.
  Once the Invocation is completed:
  You become injured and broken for the rest of the trial.
  When a Survivor is in the Terror Radius and the Killer scares a crow, their aura is revealed to all Survivors for 1/1.5/2 seconds.
  Completing the Invocation disables that perk for all Survivors.
  
  
• Clean Break
  After you finish healing another Survivor, while being healed by another Survivor, press the ability button 1 to gain broken.
  After 80/70/60 seconds, you become healthy.
  This perk does not activate if your are already broken. The effect is cancelled if you go in the dying state.
  
  
• Shoulder the Burden
  Once per trial, as long as you are not on death hook, press the ability button 2 in front of a hooked Survivor to unhook them.
  When they are unhooked, they lose 1 hook state and you gain 1 hook state. You also scream and become Exposed for 30/25/20 seconds.

• A new map on the other side of Mount Ormond is here for testing on the PTB only! Explore The Ormond Lake Mine. (This map will not be part of the Chapter release)
