Open Handed does not seem be working consistently.

I am playing on PS5.

Since the update to Open Handed to extend aura reading ranges by 8/12/16m, there are a few instances where Open Handed (Tier 3) is NOT extended the aura reading range of expected interactions with aura reading.

Open Handed is NOT partially countering Knockout (I was in a game against Myers running Knockout Tier 3 on Family Residence. He was slugging survivors, and when I was searching them out, I couldn’t see them until within Knockouts standard 16m range, despite running Tier 3 Open Handed).

Open Handed Tier 3 doesn’t seem to be extending Tier 3 Buckle Up from its 48m range to 64m (as expected) to dear to detect the recovery progress of dying survivors. The detectable range seems to be the same whether Open Handed is used with Buckle Up, or isn’t used with Buckle Up.

Open Handed Tier 3 also doesn’t seem to be extending the range of Better Together either. I was Felix on Temple of Purgation running Better Together, Open Handed, Technician, and Visionary (all perks are at Tier 3). Open Handed works perfectly fine with Visionary: I could see any unrepaired gen auras within a 48m range. I had been using this build a lot, expecting that other survivors should be able to see any gen I am working on, highlighted in yellow within the same range as Visionary: 48m due to Open Handed. Imagine my surprise when in the exact same match a Nancy was also running Better Together, except what was occurring was any red gen auras revealed within a 48m range due to Visionary were suddenly turning Yellow when I moved roughly a tile closer towards any gens revealed by Visionary. At first I thought it was because the Nancy was NOT initially on a gen revealed to me by Visionary. Am I making sense here? Any gen the Nancy was working on wouldn’t be known to me until I was closer than the initial range any gens Visionary & Open Handed revealed to me. Gens auras will be red, THEN turn yellow when I was closer. My presumption being that Open Handed was not extending Better Together’s default 32m range.

    Additional info if it helps.

    I play as David and Felix. I have used Open Handed T3 on both Characters.

    So far new Open Handed is definitely working with:

    • Bond
    • Visionary
    • Kindred
    • Saboteur
    • Plunderer’s Instinct

    I have used Buckle Up on BOTH Felix and David with new Open Handed, and the detectable range to see the recovery progress of dying survivors does NOT seem to be extended from 48m.

    I have only been in ONE match where another player was using Better Together and the range was not extended to a 48m range.

    I have only been in ONE match where the killer was running Knockout (i rarely come across it as survivor). I was running Open Handed, but dying survivor auras were still obscured to just a 16m range.
