    Some say it's just a map add-on that marks a specific location in a way that's only visible to Survivors, but I prefer to believe it's Jesus, come to save us all from the Entity.

    It's an Add On for the map (glass bead) - survivors only can see it, not the killer.

    I think it's what happens when someone tags something with a map. I've never actually seen it yho

    I'm pretty sure the Entity IS Jesus.

    Jesus doesn't feed on hope. That's some weird Bible you must be reading.

    Yeah, lately I've been fooling around with this addon. It's not the strongest addon by any means, but it I agree: it's cool indeed.
    The only useful function of it I think is this: if you spawn right next to a hex totem, mark it. There's a good chance that killer's first order of business will be checking that area, so it's better not to cleanse it right away, but you can notify your fellow survivors that it's there. Alternatively, if killer's also using Thrill of the Hunt, you can signal that you started to cleanse it - hopefully they jump on the other Hex totem. Of course there's the same problem as with hook gymnastic signaling: you can't be sure your mates get it.

    Use the pre-game chat, that usually works.

    When I first saw that I just imagined a voice saying "Step into the light..... there's a totem here"

    Hm, I've been aching for the Where Did They Go achievement for a while. Maybe with this thing........

    @George_Soros you'd need someone with a key as well. Otherwise yeah it might help you earn that achievement.

    Yes I have thought about that as well. Its a trophy for me (PS4) and its pretty much the only one between me and the platinum.

    Ive thought about trying to raise a group on here to try and get it.....

    Here? Are you mad? Everyone knows that people active on forum are the dregs of DBD society. Incompetent losers with no talent or ambition whatsoever, living in their mothers' basement. A most useless bunch, they are.

    Indeed but I would only need 3 good ones to form a team. Only requirement's being they have a PS4, want the trophy, have voice comms and preferably a massive stash of keys! I think it could take a good few attempts...
