Alan Wake has three perks: Champion of Light, Boon: Illumination, and Deadline. Most of Wake's perks involve his main motif, his flashlight and light in general.

Champion of Light

The glow of the flashlight looks a little different, feels a little warmer.

  • While you are holding a Flashlight, this perk activates.
  • When you are shining a Flashlight, you have 50% Haste.
  • When you successfully blind the Killer, they also gain 20% Hindered for 6 seconds. This effect cannot stack.
  • Then, this perk goes on cooldown for 80/70/60 seconds.
  • Haste increases Survivor movement speed.
  • Hindered reduces Killer movement speed.

“I squeezed the flashlight like my life depended on it, willing it to stop coming any closer.” – Departure

Boon: Illumination

Your keen insight is something best shared with others.

  • Press and hold the Ability button 1 near a Dull or Hex Totem to bless it and create a Boon Totem. Soft chimes ring out in a 24 meter range.
  • Survivors inside your Boon Totem's range see the aura of all chests and all generators in blue.
  • If you have a lit Boon Totem, you cleanse or bless Totems 6/8/10% faster.
  • You can only bless one Totem at a time. All equipped Boon perks are active on your Boon Totem.

"A shift in reality. Heavy with hidden meanings" – Return

Deadline

Desperation creeps in, and you push yourself to work harder.

  • This perk activates when you are injured.
  • Skill Checks appear 6/8/10% more frequently when repairing or healing and appear in random places.
  • The penalty for missing skill checks is reduced by 50%.

“The night had been one desperate situation after another.” – Departure
