Vigil perk incorrectly reduces hinder duration for Killer powers

Status:	Pending Moderation
Priority:	Medium
Added by:	dangererin on March 9, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	9.4.2
Actual Result:	Vigil reduces the duration of killer's powers making them less effective
Expected Result:	Vigil should only be applied to perks that affects survivors like Force Hesitation or Knock Out
Severity:	Blocker
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	Vigil has been the most used secondary perk for survivors to get exhaustion removed faster so they can Sprint Burst or Lithe away more frequently. But Vigil is too bloated with removing other effects that just completely nerf killer's powers and addons they are dependent on. The devs have also said with their own words that Vigil should not be apply towards killer's powers. SEE SCREENSHOTS FOR DETAILS

Steps to Reproduce

1. Play Freddy, use dream abilities to pull survivors to Dream World
2. Be sure survivors have equipped the Vigil perk
3. Use Dream Snare on Asleep survivor
4. Instead of 4.5s of Hindered, it's 1.5s because of Vigil
5. (Optional) As Clown, Throw Tonic potion on survivors then have them leave the clouded area
6. Instead of afflicting 1.6s of Hindered, it lingers for 0.5s instead

Explanation

Vigil reduces hinder duration caused by Killer's powers like Freddy's Dream Snare or Clown's Potion
