## Event Mechanics

### Void Energy

The ultimate goal of the Event Mechanics is for Killers and Survivor to collect *Void Energy*.

*Void Energy* can be gained in three different ways:

* Repairing an Event Generator:
	+ Repairing awards **3 Void Energy** every **9 seconds**.
	+ A maximum of **75 Void Energy** can be obtained from repairing Generators.
* Hooking a Survivor on an Event Hook:
	+ Hooking awards **5 Void Energy** per Hook.
	+ A maximum of **15 Void Energy** from hooking Survivors.
* Destroying a Pumpkin:
	+ Destroying a *Treat Pumpkin* awards **1 Void Energy**
	+ Destroying a *Neutral Pumpkin* awards **2 Void Energy**
	+ Destroying a *Trick Pumpkin* awards **3 Void Energy**

*Void Energy* can be transferred between the Survivor and the Killer in two different ways:

* Stunning the Killer:
	+ Stunning transfers **3 Void Energy** from the Killer to the Survivor that stunned them.
* Downing Survivors:
	+ Downing transfers **3 Void Energy** to the Killer from the Survivor they downed.

### Unstable Rifts

Players can hold a maximum of **15 Void Energy** at a time, after which they will no longer gain any additional *Void Energy* and see the Aura of a nearby **Unstable Rift**.
At this point, Players are encouraged to bank their *Void Energy* at an **Unstable Rift**, after which they can once again gain new *Void Energy* from the aforementioned interactions.

This process is repeatable until a maximum of **30 Void Energy** is banked into **Unstable Rifts**.

As a Killer, when the Trial ends, any **Void Energy** not yet deposited into an **Unstable Rift** would automatically be accounted for and deposited into the **Sky Rift**.

As a Survivor, the same would be true upon escaping the Trial.
If a Survivor dies, however, that energy would be lost.

### Sky Rift

Each Map featured a so-called *"Sky Rift"*, a large Rift Portal up in the sky of the Map, akin to the one shown in the main Lobby during the Event, only a lot smaller.
The **Sky Rift** was purely decorative in nature and had no other effect than to, lore-wise, collect any remaining **Void Energy** Players were holding in their inventory and had not managed to deposit into **Unstable Rifts** before escaping the Trial (Survivor) or ending it (Killer).

### Unlocking Cosmetics

When a Player manages to transfer **30 Void Energy** into **Unstable Rifts**, they trigger the *Rift Satisfied* Score Event, which grants them **10,000 Bloodpoints**, and they are also granted the ***Haste*** **Status Effect** for **15 seconds**.
The strength of the **Status Effect** has a chance of **75 %** to be **+5 % Movement speed** or a chance of **25 %** to be **+10 % Movement speed**

Additionally, Players will be rewarded with a random piece from the **12 Event Cosmetics** after the Trial concludes.
