• Victor can no longer be kicked after successful Pounce attacks which do not latch onto a Survivor. (REVERTED)
• Victor’s Pounce now latches onto Survivors when they are put into the dying state. While Victor is attached, the Survivor cannot return to the Injured state. Other Survivors can crush Victor during this time to help the dying Survivor. Victor automatically returns to Charlotte after 20 seconds. (REVERTED)
• While Victor is attached to a Survivor or holding a Survivor in a locker, Charlotte gains a 10% Haste effect. This bonus is lost when hitting a Survivor. (REVERTED)

• Decreased the time it takes to charge Victor’s Pounce to 0.85 seconds. (was 1 second)
• Increased the cooldown for Victor to come back after being crushed to 10 seconds. (was 6 seconds)

Behaviour Interactive noted the following: We have received a lot of comments about The Twins’ strength during the PTB. We have made the decision to revert the changes to Victor’s pounce and keep the various quality of life improvements (faster switching between Charlotte and Victor, ability to recall Victor, and Add-on adjustments & base kit inclusion). We may revisit The Twins in a future update, if necessary, but these smaller tweaks will make The Twins feel better to play for the time being.

  Decreases Victor’s Unbind time by 33%. (was 50%)

  Decreases Pounce charge time by 10%. (was 20%)
