Overview

The Status HUD indicates to the Players how they are currently affected by Perks  , Add-ons   and in-game mechanics.

It consists of three sub-systems: Perk Effects, Status Effects and Proficiency Indicators.
The latter two were implemented with Patch 1.5.0.


Status Effects

 
 

Status Effects show whenever a Survivor is affected by a special effect or affliction, indicated by a corresponding icon above the Perk diamond.
The icon's colour will reflect whether it is a buff (yellow) or a debuff (red).

Tiered Status Effects feature chevrons on the icon. The more chevrons a Status Effect shows, the stronger is its effect.
There are currently just two tiered Status Effects: Bloodlust   and Madness  .

Status Effects that are on a timer may have their timer refreshed by a new application of the effect, but will not stack their afflictions.

  The Blindness Status Effect impairs all Aura-reading abilities of Survivors, temporarily disabling them.

Proficiency Indicators

 
 

Proficiency Indicators indicate to Survivors how various effects from either their own or someone else's Add-ons, Perks, Offerings, etc. affect their performance at the interaction they are currently performing, by showing corresponding icons above the progress bar and colour the bar itself accordingly.

Unlike Status Effects, Proficiency Indicators are not inherently a buff (yellow) or a debuff (red) in effect, but can be either, indicated by the colour of the icon and the colour of the progress bar.

Chance

  The Chance Proficiency Indicator works alongside the Luck mechanic and indicates whether the action the Player is currently performing has a higher or lower chance at succeeding.
  • Only applies to actions that have the possibility to fail, such as escaping from Bear Traps   and self-unhooking from a Hook  .

Perk Effects System

The Perk Effects System was the original (and up to Patch 1.5.0 only) system available to display any Unlockables affecting a Player that are not equipped by themselves.
It displayed all HUD information in regards to Perks and Add-ons affecting Survivors and Killers.
With the introduction of Status Effects and Proficiency Indicators, its only use these days is to indicate effects another Survivor's or the Killer's Perks   have on the Player.

A Perk affecting other Survivors will display its icon with either a turquoise (buff) or red (debuff) background (see below), next to the Perk Diamond in the lower right corner of the screen.

Prior to the implementation of Status Effect and Proficiency Indicators the type of effect an Add-on had on the Player could not be conveyed by that system and relied on the Player recognising the icon and knowing about its effects, which was ultimately deemed too user-unfriendly, especially for newcomers and inexperienced Players, prompting the devs to implement the new system.

The Perk Effects System was kept for Perks, however, as it is easier to remember Perk icons and their associated effects, and continues to be used to this day, hinting at its age by continuing to use a turquoise colour instead of yellow to display buffs.

Change Log

Patch 2.5.0

  • All Timers no longer stack or automatically reset, but will now take the highest remaining Status timer and ignore the other.
    • If the new Timer is the higher one, the previous timer is discarded and the Status Effect icon will visually reset to 100 %.
    • If the new Timer is the lower one, the new timer is discarded and the Status Effect icon will remain at its current progression.

Patch 3.4.0

  • The red debuff icon applied by Perks no longer appears on the Survivors' HUD until the debuff is active.

Patch 4.5.0

  • The Deep Wound timer is now 20 seconds across the board.


Trivia

  • There is an unused Status Effect called "Vision". It would most likely have been used to show when something enhanced one's Aura-reading abilities, but no such Unlockable currently uses it.
