◆ Teachable perks

Tier
Babysitter

Babysitter

Steve Harrington

While you have a reputation for being self-centred, you risk it all to help those in need.
Whenever you unhook a Survivor, the Aura of the Killer is revealed to you for 8 seconds, while the unhooked Survivor benefits from the following effects for 20/25/30 seconds instead:
• Suppresses the creation of their Scratch Marks and Pools of Blood.
• Increases the strength of their Haste Status Effect by +10 %.

“I promised to keep you shitheads safe, and that's exactly what I plan on doing.”

Camaraderie

Camaraderie

Steve Harrington

Life has taught you the importance of friendship which has given you strength.
If you are hooked and enter the Struggle Phase, Camaraderie activates:
• Pauses the Struggle Phase timer for 26/30/34 seconds as soon as any Survivor comes within 16 metres of your Hook.

“So, remember once you get in there... pretend like you don't care. There you go, you're learning my friend. You're learning.”

— Steve Harrington

Second Wind

Second Wind

Steve Harrington

You have learnt to avoid awkward situations with parents.
Part of you still thinks your best option is to run away and hope things will take care of themselves.
When you heal another Survivor for the equivalent of 1 Health State, Second Wind activates:
• The next time you are unhooked or unhook yourself, you suffer from the Broken Status Effect until Second Wind deactivates.
• You are automatically healed 1 Health State after 28/24/20 seconds.
While Second Wind is active, the following conditions will deactivate it:
• Successfully being healed by Second Wind.
• Being put into the Dying State before the timer elapses.
Second Wind does not activate if you already suffer from the Broken Status Effect.

“Yeah, that's a no.”

◆ Lore

Popular and arrogant, yet compassionate, Steve Harrington is an unlikely mentor and leader. He often acts as a surrogate big brother to a younger boy named Dustin. He even helped him find his slimy inter-dimensional pet Demogorgon, D’Artagnan. His reputation as a protector grew and he soon became a sort of ‘babysitter’ for a group of kids in Hawkins with a knack for messing around with strange and dangerous things. His courage is unmatched so that he was even able to fend off a Demogorgon when it threatened his friends. One evening he received a call for assistance from his friend Nancy Wheeler. He drove all the way to the Hawkins National Laboratory to see if she was okay. He searched the area but only found her notebook. Before he realized what was happening the ground opened up and a swirl of black mist filled his eyes. When he awakened he was in a strange place that seemed familiar but unfamiliar at the same time.
