Incorrect Activation Requirements for Eruption Perk

Status:	Fix Incoming
Priority:	Medium
Added by:	Anonymous on July 13, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	10.0.2
Actual Result:	Eruption perk states that killer needs to down a survivor
Expected Result:	Eruption perk should state that it activates when survivor goes to dying state for any reason
Severity:	Minor
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	Noticed this after a conversation on the forums that the new description in error claims you need to down the survivor yourself when in reality the only requirement for activation is that a survivor goes to a dying state for any reason from the perks release. Posted a picture of the old description to show that it currently is stating it wrong and the logs show it activates on survivor going dying state while using Plot Twist.

Steps to Reproduce

Launch the game
Equip Eruption
Have a survivor with Plot Twist
Get progress on a gen
Kick the gen
Hit the survivor
Survivor uses Plot Twist
Observe that gen exploded

Explanation

Eruption description is currently stating wrong activation requirements as it says "when you down a survivor". Originally it stated "Whenever a Survivor enters the dying state". So there is no requirement to killer to down anyone themselves as long as someone goes to dying state from deep wound bleed or even using Plot Twist. This is clearly another of those errors that happened when the descriptions were changed to be clearer.

It also wrongly states that when killer damages a gen when it should state when killer kicks the gen himself to activate it on a gen. Another badly worded part of it that needs clarification. Currently how its writen you could think it works on any gen damaging action killer can cause.
