Eruption is a Unique Perk belonging to The Nemesis.
Prestige The Nemesis to Prestige 1, 2, 3 respectively to unlock Tier I, Tier II, Tier III of Eruption for all other Characters.
Description
The NE-α parasite provides you with the intelligence and awareness needed to set a trap.
Performing the Damage Generator action on a Generator applies Eruption:
- All affected Generators are highlighted to you in yellow.
- The next time any Survivor enters the Dying State by any means, all affected Generators explode and immediately start regressing, which removes the highlighted Aura.
- Instantly regresses the Generator by -10 % of its maximum possible Progression.
- Causes all Survivors repairing the afflicted Generators to scream and reveal their Aura to you for 8/10/12 seconds.

Change Log[]
Patch 6.1.0[]
- Buff: increased the Regression penalty from -6 % to -10 %.
- Buff: increased the duration of the Incapacitated Status Effect from 12/14/16 seconds to 15/20/25 seconds.
Patch 6.6.0[]
- Rework: now reveals the Auras of Survivors repairing an affected Generator for 12 seconds instead of applying the Incapacitated Status Effect.
- Change: modified the behaviour of the triggered Survivor screams to be consistent across all Unlockables:
- Survivor screams are now 3D with a maximum audible range of 19 metres (used to be a map-wide 2D scream).
- Triggers a Loud Noise Notification.
Patch 6.6.2[]
- Reversal: reverted the behaviour of Survivor screams to their original functionality.
- The reversal was motivated by the community's negative response to the range limit, which caused the Perks to end up weaker than before.
Trivia[]
- The NE-α parasite referenced in the description of Eruption is a genetically-engineered parasite created by Umbrella as a work-around for brain damage caused by the T-Virus. When successful, subjects demonstrated human level intelligence, and the parasite could manipulate the host into handling weapons.
- Eruption is the first Killer Perk to feature a quote by a Survivor.
- Eruption's trigger condition extends to all outside sources that put the Survivor into the Dying State. This includes Add-ons, Killer Powers, and Survivor actions in which the Killer does not down the Survivors themselves, such as the Trapper using the Honing Stone, a Survivor being downed by a Zombie, Survivors entering the Dying State after Deep Wound elapses and Survivors downing themselves using Plot Twist.
