How all of The Skull Merchant perks work in Dead by Daylight

The Skull Merchant will have access to three perks: Game Afoot, THWACK!, and Leverage.

Game Afoot

With this perk, while a Killer is chasing down a Survivor, and they happen to be the Obsession, this perk activates. It will damage Generators, and whenever you destroy Breakable Walls and Pallets, your chosen Killer receives a 5% Haste Status for 8/9/10 seconds. Whenever you hit a Survivor with the most time in a chase with a Basic Attack, this target becomes the Obsession. The Killer can only be Obsessed with one Survivor at a time, so this perk does not create multiple obsessions.

Leverage

When you have the Leverage perk, every time your Killer hooks a Survivor, they gain a token, and you can earn up to 10 tokens. When you Hook a Survivor, this perk activates. Each token your Killer has earned reduces the speed at which Survivors can heal by 3/4/5% for 30 seconds, making it harder for them to recover from their wounds.

THWACK!

The final perk The Skull Merchant can use is THWACK!, and it occurs after you hook a Survivor. Once you Hook a Survivor, performing the break action on the next Breakable Wall or Pallet makes Survivors within 32 meters scream and reveals their location through an Aura for 4 seconds. THWACK! is active for 45/60/75 seconds after the Survivor has been hooked.
