Trivia

Borrowed Time triggers each time its user unhooks another Survivor.
If a Survivor gets caught in a Bear Trap while under the effects of Deep Wound, freeing themselves or being rescued by another Survivor will return them to the Injured State instead.
- However, if The Trapper uses the Honing Stone Add-on, its effect will override this if the Survivor frees themselves, putting them into the Dying State.
Before removing the Terror Radius condition in Patch 4.7.0, Borrowed Time would not activate to false or illusionary Terror Radii and stealth Killers would not trigger the Perk.
