Change Log

Patch 1.3.0

• Quality of Life: Tinkerer now only affects modifiers positively.
• Nerf: decreased the bonus applied to modifiers to 6/8/10 %.
• Buff: Tinkerer's bonus is now additive.

Patch 2.1.0

• Mechanics Change: Tinkerer no longer boost Add-ons affecting the Power charge speed, but instead will give the Killer a noise notification if a Generator is repaired to 85 % and will also reduce their Terror Radius to 0 metres for 8/10/12 seconds.

Trivia

• The Terror Radius fades away and comes back instantly, not gradually unlike with Insidious .
• Up to Patch 2.1.0, Tinkerer was officially not supported on any Killer following the release of The Doctor besides The Cannibal as he shared most of his Add-ons with The Hillbilly.
  • It was unofficially supported on some of The Huntress and The Clown's Add-ons due to spaghetti-code.
  • Tinkerer gave the Developers a lot of additional coding to do, which is why the aforementioned Killers did not make any use of it.
  • Thus, with Patch 2.1.0 Tinkerer was changed into a completely different Perk altogether.
• Tinkerer's old flavour text still addressed The Hillbilly by his Alpha name "The Crooked", rather than by his current name:
  • "The Crooked makes impressive tools out of scraps... Tools aimed at maiming us in creative ways... It's horrifying to think it's actually intelligent." — Unknown, Notebook
