It's active only if a killer downs and picks you up within 40/50/60 sec after you have been unhooked.
Also, if you touch a gen, heal or unhook while it's active, it deactivates immediately.

it runs on a timer after youre unhooked. performing any conspicuous action (an action you perform such as healing or doing a gen after being unhooked) will deactivate ds aswell

It can work after the 2nd.stage of the sacrifice. Don't know exactly how & when tho'.

Once you have been unhooked by another survivor (or escaped) then the perk will activate for a set amount of time, If the killer downs you (while the perk is active) and picks you up, it will start a very quick and small windowed skill check that allows you to shank him and escape his grab

Keep an eye on that timer because if a killer knows you have it then they'll just slug you

do not heal someone
do not heal yourself
do not tap a gen
do not sabo hooks
do not be at endgame

you must be downed or grabbed within 60 seconds

Only if you didnt use it first time
Only one DS per trial anyway

Thanks.
It means even 'when you failed the QTE the first time' ?

Failed QTE, timer runs out or you just did any of conspicuous actions

Don't use it 4 seconds is nothing it's like old 3 seconds in terms of distance, better run OTR

Probably yes but it depends. Off The Record doesn't work as Decisive Strike.

Both are good and both have the build they fit in. If you use IW and DH OTR will be useless but if you use any other exaustion perk and you dont use IW OTR will be better. It only depend on your build

If devs left the 5 second stun, then DS would be much better than OTR, but now it is better to play with OTR because these 4 seconds are terrible, the distance is sometimes not enough to reach a normal tile especially against fast killers (for example Dolls m2 attack will easily catch up with you after being stunned by DS so 4 seconds are not enough and should be reverted to 5)

if you do consiptious action, (like healing yourself or do gens etc.) the system automatically thinks that you are in safe state zone n you can start doing objectives so they implimented this mechanic of disabling your perk.
