Change Log

Patch 2.0.0

• Quality of Life: no longer loses partial progression when consuming a Token.

Patch 3.7.0

• Buff: increases the Token-based Great Skill Check's Progression bonus by 1 %.

Trivia

• Stake Out does not consume a Token if you succeed a regular Great Skill Check.
• The Lullabies of The Nightmare and The Huntress do not give any progression towards Tokens.
  • The same is true for a fake Terror Radius induced by the "Discipline" Add-ons, which gives Stake Out the added functionality of knowing whether you are inside The Doctor's actual Terror Radius or not.
• Stake Out can be used in a similar fashion to Premonition or Spine Chill , alerting you to being in the Killer's Terror Radius as long as the Perk has less than 4 Tokens.
• Stake Out does not gain any Tokens when in the Dying State or when hooked.
• It is not advised to use Stake Out together with Autodidact as Autodidact disables Great Healing Skill Checks, cancelling out the benefits of Stake Out.
• Stake Out does not gain any Tokens whenever the Killer is affected by the Undetectable Status Effect.
