We have temporarily disabled Firecrackers and the Flashbang Perk due to a bug which could cause the Killer's game to crash. These will be re-enabled in an upcoming patch when the issue is resolved.

Tweaks to the Obsession mechanic?

Currently, there are 8 Obsession perks:

  • Survivor: Object of Obsession, Sole Survivor, and Decisive Strike.
  • Killer: Dying Light, Play With Your Food, Save The Best For Last, Remember Me, and Rancor.

I know these perks take up such a small percentage of perks, but what if there was a passive benefit for survivors/killers when the other has an obsession perk, but you don't?

For survivor - if the Killer has one or more obsession perks, and you become the obsession without having an obsession perk, what small benefit should you have for being one? Some ideas:

  • small speed increase when being chased
  • bonus unhooking speed
  • small speed increase when healing or repairing
  • limited aura-reading protection

For killer - if a Survivor has one or more obsession perks, and you don't have one, what small benefit should you have for having an obsession? Some ideas:

  • bloodlust triggers sooner if chasing the obsession
  • reduced attack cool down when obsession is in TR
  • obsession's scratch marks last a bit longer
  • obsession's aura is read a bit longer

What I mean by small, is it's not enough to make a huge difference, but enough to have a noticeable benefit.

    Is the killer able to actually tell who the obsession is in game PRIOR to hitting them and seeing their badge change shape?

    That could be one of the killer benefits, yes.
