Kill Switch update: The issue affecting Baermar Uraz's Ugly Sweater has been fixed and the cosmetic has been reenabled in all queues with this update.

Windows Of Opportunity/Zanshin's Tactics Buff

I really enjoy Aura Reading Abilities but those two perks have such a long cooldown and the effect itself is not good enough to have such cooldown.

My suggestion would be this:

Zanshin's Tactics shows all Windows and Paletts in 30 meters. Getting stunned punishes the survivor, giving them the hindered status effect, reducing their movement speed for 3 seconds after 1 second they stunned the killer. Hitting the survivor activates a 40 seconds long cooldown. (Effect does stack with other Hindered Effects.)

Windows Of Oppurtunity shows all Windows and Paletts in 30 meters. Stunning the killer gives you the haste effect for 5 seconds increasing your movement speed for 7% and also activates a 40 seconds long cooldown. (Effect does not stack with Hope or Blood Pact but increases the duration of the Haste Effect. Stacks with Sprint Burst, Lithe and Balance Landing.)

    I've wanted WoO to increase vault speed, but this is better. Also like the Zanshin idea!

    I always thought a nice buff to windows would be to give you some kind of subtle info that a pallet is fake such as cracks in the edges of the auras etc something to counter order and Freddy pallets idk maybe its bad but I figured I might as well share

    Dislike Zanshin. I would prefer it stay active all the time and work as follows: Shows all auras of interactables within 28 meters / 36 meters / 44 meters. Simple yet informative.Why should getting a stun as a survivor punish the survivor? If anything stuns should be made less powerful, but solving core issues with perks is never a good idea.

    For WoO, I suggest the same treatment as above: Shows all auras of chase interactables within 28/32/36 meters of you. As previously stated, stuns should not be made more powerful in any way that isn't a 5% change in stun duration or the like (as an example).

    @Kind_Lemon Why should getting a stun as a survivor punish the survivor? Because the killer "tactically" messed with that pallet or something?

    That's a great Idea but I thought that Small Game already provides you with that information and I really don't want to steal the use of that perk.

    The reason is that just knowing where everything is in a certain area sounds maybe good, but it's actually not really helpful as killer. Most of the time you just want to know where a palett or a window is if you are in a chase. Or maybe as Trapper/Hag it's kinda more helpful but thats it.

    Because the perk goes for a strategic or tactic expect, I thought it would be nice if you can play more around paletts and windows. And I personally like Status Effects alot so that's why I came up with this idea.

    Exactly. It's kinda about having your goal in mind and that's why I would give WoO the same treatment. But I am always for new ideas.

    But I don't like the Idea of just leaving them as an Aura Reading Perk, because it's pretty bad as killer. As survivor it's kinda okay, but still not medium good perk.
