Hex Totems Show Up As Inactive

Kootta

Sometimes Hex Totems will show up as inactive for killers at the start of the match. They show up as cleansed on the killer's HUD and they do not show a totem aura for the killer. The affects of the hex perks are still active in game however. Survivors with Detective Hunch can also see the aura of these totems.

Here's a gif of the aura not showing up for killer.

Here's a gif showing a survivor cleansing a lit totem while no active hex perks show up on the killer's HUD. Notice that Haunted Grounds and Retribution both activate once the totem is cleansed.

If you open up this gif and play it as a video you'll hear the totem emit no sound.

This gif shows the aura reading of totems vanishing when in certain proximity. You can also see two hex totem auras even though Ruin shows up as the only active perk on HUD.
