Deja Vu - mini buff

Today, while I was working at one of the three generators close to each other I thought to myself: "This generator needs to be done or we'll end up in 3-gen situation! If only I had a way of communicating to my teammates (solo Q) that this generator is high-priority".

And then I realized that it could be a nice addition to Deja Vu (I like this perk personally, especially with a Map).


Deja Vu

Same as before:

The Auras of 3 Generators in closest proximity to each other are revealed to you for 30/45/60 seconds, at the start of the Trial and each time a Generator is completed.

If you are holding a Map that can track Objectives, Generators revealed by Déjà Vu are added to the Map.

New function:

Each time You complete a Good Skill Check while repairing a Generator whose Aura is revealed by Deja Vu, the Aura of the Generator will be revealed to all Survivors for 3 seconds.


Edit (I was away for a while and couldn't write this earlier):

Effects of changing Deja Vu:

  1. A less used perk gets buffed and hopefully more used
  2. Another aura revealing perk for Survivors (second after Better Together)
  3. At the same time, slight buff to Trail of Torment (because of aura revealing)
  4. Forces Survivors to hit Good Skill Checks ---> games slow down a bit (good for Killer)
  5. At the same time, forces Survivors to hit Good Skill Checks. slight buff to Gearhead
  6. It's a buff to one of the common perks not tied to levelling any Survivor --> slight buff to new player experience (new players don't care about hitting Great Skill Checks)

    I really wanna see a cool aura effect from Deja Vu, but I don’t think this is the way to do it. This version of Deja Vu is just a Better Together with infinite range and inconsistent information.

    On the flip side, I do like your thinking when it comes to three-genning. However, current Deja Vu kinda already does that, though you’ll need to be observant to notice. It’s a little perturbing, which explains why the perk has yet to receive any attention in recent time.
