Knock Out is a Unique Perk belonging to The Cannibal.
Prestige The Cannibal to Prestige 1, 2, 3 respectively to unlock Tier I, Tier II, Tier III of Knock Out for all other Characters.
Description
The trauma caused by your brutal attacks makes crying for help painfully difficult.
Putting a Survivor into the Dying State with your Basic Attack blocks their Aura from being revealed to any Survivor, who is farther than 32/24/16 metres away from them.
For the next 15 seconds, the following effects apply to the dying Survivor:
- Reduces their Field of View and causes them to be deafened.
- Suffers from the Blindness Status Effect.
- Reduces the Crawling speed by -50 %.
- Reduces the Recovery speed by -25 %.
"Oh, that gun's no good. The old way... with a sledge! You see, that way's better. They die better that way." — Nubbins Sawyer

Trivia
- Knock Out applies the deafening sound effect to Survivors afflicted by it.
- Knock Out used to be trumped by various Perks that allowed Survivors to see their injured peers, but this was changed in Patch 4.1.0.
In the Dark
- In the Dark was an earlier version of Knock Out, and is still the name of it in the Game files.
- Instead of the current effect, it would have increasingly reduced the Killer's Terror Radius, depending on the number of Survivors left in the Trial.
