After finishing this match, you will automatically return to your place in the Killer queue.

Team Skill:
When repairing, reveal the generator's aura and your aura to other Survivors.
Gain the ability to trap a generator. Charges over 90 seconds. Repairing generators can decrease the wait time. Stand next to a generator to install a trap. The trapped generator has a yellow aura visible to Survivors and will stun and blind a Killer who tries to damage it.
The trap is deactivated when triggered or after 120 seconds.
Open Exit Gates 15% faster and reveal your aura to other Survivors within 128 meters.

Unlockable Skill:
After being caged, gain access to a listening device that automatically installs on a generator after completing 35% repair progress.
A bugged generator's yellow aura is visible to Survivors and reveals the Killer's aura when within 14 meters.
The device is deactivated when the generator is damaged or after 60 seconds.
If a listening device is already installed on a generator when 35% repair progress is reached, install a new listening device that resets the 60 second countdown.
