Change Log
Patch 3.0.0
- Nerf: changed the activation condition to require triggering the Protection Hit Score Events instead of getting hit by regular Basic Attacks.
Patch 3.3.0
- Buff: can now be activated more than once per Trial.
Patch 6.1.2
- Rework: reworked Mettle of Man to be more in line with other Perks granting the Endurance Status Effect.
- Change: now reveals the Aura while Endurance is active.
- Quality of Life: reduced the required number of Protection Hits from 3 to 2.
Patch 6.2.0
- Reversal: reverted Mettle of Man back to its previous version.
- The reversal was motivated by an overwhelmingly negative community response, who perceived the perk as even weaker than before.
- QoL: no longer causes Endurance to appear in the Status HUD in order to differentiate from Mettle of Man's unique effect.
Trivia
- After Mettle of Man deactivates, any subsequent Protection Hit will start to accumulate new Tokens again, allowing for the Perk to be used several times in a single Trial.
- Mettle of Man will still activate even if a Survivor has the Deep Wound Status Effect, and does not apply Deep Wound on activation.
- Mettle of Man will not protect you from being put into the Dying State if you are Healthy.
