Haywire
Teachable by The Animatronic
Makes a half-opened Exit Gate regress when a Survivor abandons it.
Description
"For some reason, machinery has a habit of failing when you are near."
Whenever a Survivor stops opening an Exit Gate after accumulating at least 80 % Progression towards being opened, Haywire causes it to regress:
- Regresses at a rate of 80/90/100 % of the normal Gate-Opening speed.
- Causes Survivors to see the lights atop the switch flickering randomly while it regresses.
