Diversion is a Unique Perk belonging to Adam Francis.
Prestige Adam Francis to Prestige 1, 2, 3 respectively to unlock Tier I, Tier II, Tier III of Diversion for all other Characters.
Description
After being within the Killer's Terror Radius for 40/35/30 seconds without being chased, Diversion activates:
- Press the Active Ability button while crouched and motionless to throw a pebble, creating a distraction for the Killer at a distance of 20 metres from your location.
The distraction consists of the following:
- Triggers a Loud Noise Notification.
- Creates fake Scratch Marks.
Diversion deactivates after use and resets its timer.
"There's what is easy and then there's what is right. If you confuse the two, there's no telling what you become." — Adam Francis

Trivia
- Lullabies do not give any progression towards Tokens.
- Neither does a fake Terror Radius induced by Madness when facing The Doctor, which gives Diversion the added functionality of knowing whether you are inside his actual Terror Radius or not.
- Diversion is often endearingly referred to as Pebble.
- Thrown pebbles do not collide with walls, objects, props and other characters.
- The landing zone spawning the Loud Noise notification and the Scratch Marks will therefore always be 20 metres away from the Perk user.
- If used in combination with Self-Aware, the Perk user will be able to see the Scratch Marks created at the landing zone.
- Diversion timer does not activate if the Survivor is affected by the Oblivious Status Effect.
