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.

Eruption has a cool-down of 30 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.
