PTB
Public Test Build. The Terrifier 10.3.0 test build is listed for Steam.
Perk Tier
Tier I, II, or III selects the corresponding value from a perk's three listed numbers.
Bag of Toys
The Terrifier's Power. Opening the bag offers two random Toys to choose from before the bag enters cooldown.
Toy
A single-use item selected from Bag of Toys: Acid Bottle, Flail, Handgun, Flamethrower, or Bike Horn.
Deadliness
Progress tracked for each Toy. Applying Torture adds 1 point; at maximum Deadliness, a damaging Toy can down an injured Survivor.
Torture
An effect applied to injured Survivors by Art's damaging Toys. A different Toy can then down the Survivor and apply Terrified.
Terrified
The status applied by Art's different-Toy sequence. Taunting a hooked or downed Terrified Survivor removes it and grants Deadliness to all Toys.
Taunt
Art's Ability action. Against a hooked or downed Terrified Survivor, it grants 1 Deadliness to every Toy and removes Terrified.
Power Mori
A short Mini-Mori triggered by certain Killer Powers. The Terrifier has weapon-specific Mini-Moris.
Token
A perk resource with its own rules. Best Gift Ever spends 1 Token per new item type, while Dark Sense spends 1 to trigger an Aura reveal.
Haste
The bonus granted by perks including Funny Business, which gives 10% Haste for 10 seconds before its random result.
Exhausted
A status applied by Laughingstock near completed Generators. Shared Trauma permits recovery from it while running for a limited window.
