Trivia[]

  • Wiretap is only charged from the Charges its Perk User contributes towards the Generator and ignores other Players.
    • Effects that increase or reduce the Perk User's Repair speed also affect how fast Wiretap charges, including the Repair Efficiency penalty when multiple Survivors repair the same Generator.
  • The Aura-reveal distance is fixed and cannot be extended by using the Perk Open-HandedIconPerks open-HandedIconPerks open-HandedIconPerks open-Handed, since it emanates from the Generator itself, rather than the Survivor.
  • The Aura-reveal effect remains active even if the Generator is currently being blocked by The Entity.
