The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

Upgrade to Surveillance.

I just recently got this idea, thinking about how Jigsaw was always the Game's master. Every piece had its place, everyone had to follow HIS rules and every thing was under his watch. Instead of simply giving you an auro of a kicked gen, the perk will do something like this:

Surveillance~
This game runs by your rules. Kicking a gen will cause a short circuit between gens that are 64 meters(maybe bigger, dunnu, depending on map) apart. This short circuit will immediately cause all affected gens to start regressing, as if kicked by the Killer. Regressing gens are shown in white, where as an activly worked on gen, which stays unaffected is shown in red.

What do you think fellow fog travelers? Would be glad to hear your feedback. Numbers can be tweaked accordingly, but I feel like this would actually give you the feeling of being the Game's master, like John Kramer always was.

    Hm, sounds interesting but might give you too much information for a simple action. If there are 2 other gens nearby and currently being worked on, you will get the information that there are at least 2 survivors working on them. I think Surveillance would be fine if they increased the timer to 20-30 seconds and alert the killer with an explosion that the generator is being worked on again.

    The thing is, that most perks just feel underwhelming and not worth it. This could potentially break the meta a tiny little bit. Surveillance is already such a niche perk, so I dunnu...

    Thinking about it, the new Alert would also be a counter against it. Since the gens will only be shown in red when survivors are activly working on them.
