Change Log

Patch 2.6.3

• Buff: changed the difficulty modifier to tremendously across all Tiers.

Patch 6.1.0

• Buff: added the effect of greatly increasing the Regression speed of the damaged Generator over a given period.

Calculations

Future Version

Regression speed	Regression rate	Regression time (Generator at 99.99 % or ~90 Charges)
400 %	-1 c/s	90 seconds (1 minutes, 30 seconds)

It should be duly noted that the above calculation does not take into account that the Regression rate grows over the first 30 seconds and assumes an immediate full effect to give a frame of reference for the strength of the Perk.

Trivia

• This Perk was originally going to be named "Generator Overcharge".
• The Overcharge Skill Check will trigger for any Survivor attempting to repair the damaged Generator before the initial Overcharge Skill Check has been dealt with.
  As a result, if multiple Survivors interact in quick succession with the damaged Generator, multiple Skill Checks will appear (one for each Survivor).
• The Overcharge Skill Check will also "follow" a Survivor who interrupted the Generator repair before its appearance.
  That is, once the Skill Check is initiated, it will appear for the Survivor no matter what they do; failing the Skill Check will still cause progress regression, thus making it impossible to try and avoid the Overcharge Skill Check.
• Overcharge ignores the effect of the Instructions Add-on, which eliminates Skill Checks while repairing with a Toolbox.
