What do you think of the new Object of Obsession

The title says it all. Personally, I think that it's a cool concept that can be especially good in the case of undying if you want quick information on the killer, but it may be beneficial to have an option to toggle the passive effect of having your aura revealed to the killer every 30 seconds and it seems like it can sometimes go an entire match without getting used. I am, however, writing this from a killer perspective and have not tried the perk myself yet, so this may be a little different than the general consensus around it.

    I thought it was fun and balanced and while it is balanced it's not fun. I mean, sometimes it's useful but it hurts me more than anything because the killer will always see me even when I don't want them to, such as when I'm healing or opening a gate,

    I like it and it's really helpful during chases. A problem I have with it is that when I don't want to show my aura it hurts me a lot.

    One very good thing now is that I don't feel guilty while using it now

    I think it's awesome and my new favourite perk and I love it and For The People.

    Don't you think it's a death penalty if only 2 survs are alive?

    I tried it yesterday evening and i actually like it now. It helped me in a few chases thanks to the perfect timing of the aura reveal and the aura reveal was helpful too (i knew exactly where a demo was about to teleport to after a hook for example)

    It's good information, pretty solid perk. I also assume the aura reveal every 30 seconds can be countered in the same way you counter bbq (gens, lockers..)

    Ditto. I've been enjoying the rework. I just want them to fix Sole Survivor now to compliment it.

    I haven't tried it yet, but I'm very excited for its prospects as an intel-counter perk, and actually also as a NOED counter by way of declaring the enemy's aura reading perks. Getting solid confirmation on the killer having Undying, BBQ & Chili or Nurse's Calling is probably quite valuable.

    It works exactly as you are hoping. It has come in clutch for me several times today.

    as the killer I have noticed that if you are the obsession the 3 seconds reveal every 30 seconds can catch you out sometimes especially if I am near by and you are hiding behind something.

    so my verdict on the new object is
