Lightweight Rework

Your running is light and soft, making your tracks harder to follow.

Your Scratch Marks start to disappear 2/3/4 seconds sooner.

The sound of your footsteps and breathing while running are reduced by 25/50/75%.

The idea here was to make Lightweight better but not make any one thing completely silent like Iron Will does with breathing. I think reducing your footsteps sfx and panting when running would be really unique since we don't have anything that affects those yet. If 75% seems like too much it could be toned down to 15/30/45% mayhaps. If Lightweight was changed to work like this would you consider using it?

    i don't think 75% is too much, footsteps are already a somewhat minor part of the audio a killer utilizes to effectively track you. In the name of making the perk an actually usable sidegrade to certain perks like iron will 75% seems very fair.

    I wouldnt mind if it did something like this but it would make the most sense to make it more similar to stridor. (0%/0%/25%)

    I actually think quieter footsteps should go to Fixated. What I would like to see with Lightweight is that blood trails disappear sooner as well. We don’t have anything for that.
