Counter for Blast Mine?

[alprazolam]

So if the killer does his job and kicks the generator, he gets stunned for it? What kind of joke perk is this?

[Myu]

It seems like kind of a stupid perk. Like, yeah, it stuns the killer and blinds them, gg. But...what's the overall purpose?

Killer is damaging a generator 9/10 times when there's not a survivor around or already hooked. I guess the yellow aura goes away when they kick it and the survivor can then see when they kick it, but outside of that, the blind and stun don't feel very effective. It's basically a very minor setback in most cases that has such minimal benefit to survivors I'd be surprised to see anyone running this that wasn't a meme.

It is only active for 45 seconds once the survivor places it down, the only counter I know of right now is take the hit or ignore the gen for a few seconds or a few perks that allow you to kick them without touching the gen, Ruin, Surge, (If you already kicked it before) Eruption

[Roselon]

Also it's the PTB, most players will use the new stuff, for all we know in the base game survivors might not find it as useful as other perks

Considering most other perks, it might be useful for gen tapping, but when it comes to "What situation am I going to be in the most?"
It's always going to be the unbreakable/DS/Dead Hard and oh look there's three perks already.

You're not going to be able to use this ability efficiently as a survivor unless you're gen tapping or just memeing because there are a 'lot' better perks for monitoring a killer kicking a generator from afar.

useful when you find 3 survivors in repair and the first thing you do is hit the generator.

Yurp. Without a gameplay and mechanics overhaul the meta isnt going anywhere.

It's the devs bandaid fix.

Just another annoying perk like Head-On especially when ran by swf. I know it’s just a stun and it might seem minor but in red rank where gens fly each seconds matter a lot.

[Evil Henchman]

it's a pop counter, nobody asked for it so you will only find it in meme builds, but here it is

[G O R E F R I E N D]

Wouldn't Surge and Ruin counter this?

[Jackpot]

You’re right in the sense of it being a joke perk because it’s not even good, it’s at most a generator version of DS, one time use if successful.

Surge would.
Ruin also would whiles it’s up.

Just eat the stun. Considering it takes an entire perk slot of a survivor to stun you for a couple seconds, it should be just fine. Way less annoying than BT, Adrenaline, DH and DS, right?

Surge could counter it if you except the cool down and range
Ruin will counter it until the perk get destroyed ( which could happen fast with Jill new perk).

This whole new update is really driving home the point that the game favors survivors more. There are too many perks that expects the killer to do nothing for 30-60 secs which is insane.

I could see some use of it, while the killer is blinded and stunned the survivor could find a spot to hide at and wait for a killer to leave the area. Although it'll most likely have low chance of working.
