Overcharge

Dead by Daylight killer perk · Unique perk of The Doctor

Slowdown

What does Overcharge do?

Performing the Damage Generator action on a Generator applies Overcharge:
• The next Survivor interacting with that Generator is faced with a difficult Skill Check.
• Instantly regresses that Generator by 2/3/4% of its maximum possible Progression in addition to the default Progression penalty.
After Overcharge is applied to a Generator, the following effect also applies:
• Increases the Regression speed from 85% to 130% of its default value over the next 30 seconds.
