The Hunter trait Peeper will slow down progress if planted next to a machine.

First use of Abnormal in a match will take 50% of progress, while each consecutive use od Abnormal will take a lower percentage of progress. This trait also allows the hunter to break machines and remove a percentage of progress.

The Hunter trait Abnormal allows hunters to see the Cipher Machine's progress.

Panic - Reduces decoding speed of survivors by 3% for each teammate in a Rocket Chair.

Possessive - Reduces decoding speed of survivors within Terror Radius by 3 - 7%.

Deterioration - Reduces decoding speed of wounded survivors by 5%.

Mech Elite - Increases leeway so that Calibrations are easier.

Self Deception - doesn't notify the hunter when a Calibration is failed.

Survivor's Instinct - Increases decoding speed of remaining survivors when teammate(s) have been eliminated.

As such, calibrations will be considered dynamic, and it depends on the player's skill if they are buffs or debuffs.Д®ffects of Chosen Traits and Persona Talents Survivors Of course, failed calibrations reduce progress, and normal calibrations don't increase the progress. Therefore, survivors that trigger more calibrations can be considered to have a decoding buff, as the overall time for decoding will be lessened if the player manages to hit perfect calibrations for each triggered. Note that hitting Perfect calibrations actually increases the cipher progress. Static buffs are built into the character's traits, while Dynamic debuffs are situational. There are two types of buffs and debuffs. If Accelerated Decoding is active, then the time to finish a Cipher Machine is 60 seconds. A survivor with normal decoding speed (100% on the table below) can finish a Cipher Machine in 80 seconds if they are (1) uninterrupted, (2) all calibrations are successful (but not Perfect), and (3) are not affected by Hunter traits. In general, decoding speed is dependent on whether calibrations are perfect, successful, or failed, and if the survivor is interrupted by the Hunter.
