Trivia
- The Regression Penalty of Surge is not applied on top of the default Regression Penalty of a Failed Skill Check , which would be 10 %.
- Since any affected Generators start regressing automatically, Surge conflicts with using Pop Goes the Weasel or Overcharge . It does, however, activate Surveillance on Generators affected by it.
- Surge can also apply to Generators blocked by The Entity , through Perks such as Repressed Alliance , Thrilling Tremors and Dead Man's Switch .
- Surge can also apply to already regressing Generators.
