Survivors should have a "survivor radius".

There should be a terror radius for survivors so that killers can always know when they're getting close to one. There could be a visual component, too, so that players who are hearing challenged wouldn't miss out. It could cover the entire area within 32m of a particular color, sort of like how boon totems work, and the colors could be combined in base of multiple survivors (so if one survivor's survivor radius is blue and the other's is red, the areas around them could be purple).

This would also help when you're a solo queue survivor so that if you're injured and another survivor isn't, you can take the killer over to that survivor instead so that they can generously take the hit.

It should also show every survivor's aura for 5 seconds every 60-90 seconds to help stop genrush squads and SWFs.

    For solo survivor? Sure.

    For killer and swf ? 😂 You gotta be joking.

    So basically modified versions of Bond and Whispers basekit?

    I mean that wouldn’t be terrible for solo survivors, but for killer? No way.

    Just run whispers. Survs shouldn't have stealth plays ruined, killers already have it easy enough.

    Adding survivor terror radii and repeating Lethal Pursuer so stealth is no longer viable, Nurse ascends from god status to mega god status, and so survivors can more easily sandbag their teammates on gens?

    ...

    I think I need to go to bed.

    Just equip Whispers. We already have a perk for this, we don't need any more basekit perks (besides mini BBQ).

    Sometimes I think that almost nobody remembers what kind of game Dead by Daylight is supposed to be.

    Another idea not at all viable as usual on this forum.

     No one manages to work on projects that hold water.

    What...?

    You have enough perks to give you more visibility than the eye of Sauron plus you can hear survivor grunts of pain after the first hit and still you want more ways to find us? This is a big No in my opinion. Survivors being able to hide is a fundamental part of the game.

    That would ruin a lot of things:

    1) perks like Off the Record, Distortion, Lucky Break, Bite the Bullet

    2) potential for flashlight/flashbang saves, since the killer would know someone else was nearby


    Imo killers already have good tracking abilities. Gens being number 1, survivors are often found at gens. Then there are BBQ, Lethal Pursuer, Nurses Calling, Tinkerer... Not to mention visually being able to see if crows in certain areas have been disturbed (are they sitting still, flying away, or flying back).


    As for the scenario when there are 2 survivors left and they just keep hiding, I'd suggest a special mechanic be added to the game, where killer instinct would trigger until the survivor gets in the chase with the killer.

    or spawn hatch at last 2 survivors if there are 2+ gens left to complete. But allow at most 1 survivor to get out
