Why wasn't Spine Chill reverted?
If I remember correctly Spine Chill was changed in 6.1 as a band-aid for hearing accessibility issues. At the time they said part of this change was temporary and that they would remove the TR intensity indicator when they had a proper fix. Now with the optional heartbeat indicator in the game it should be time to Update Spine Chill, right? Was there an additional announcement about this I missed?

Not to be rude but I honestly think this is way below the bottom of the “things to care about” list. Honestly irrelevant and needs nothing changed Lmao

Does it still reveal stealth killers?

It does, which was my main grip with the change in the first place but now that the accessibility update is in game should be time to fix the stealth killer nerf.

Thanks. It’s laughable this is still the case. And you’re definitely right that it was called a “temporary” effect until the accessibility heartbeat was put into the game.

it was also changed for balance reasojns, but yes after the VTR got added it should receive of rework.

You need line of sight for spine chill to light up against a killer with no terror radius.
If the killer can physically see the survivor, the survivor can presumably also see the killer.
This is miles better than the old version where the perk would light up any time the killer was looking in the general direction of the survivor, from across the map and through 2 entire jungle gyms.
I used to have to approach a gen sideways from across the map as pig to 'counter play' spine chill. This version is infinitely better.

That is not correct. Please refrain from spreading misinformation. The perk lights up if a killer is within 36 meters, PERIOD. It does NOT require ANY line of sight. It hard counters stealth killers with no counterplay to it. Before, you COULD counterplay it by looking away as you approach, but now it got buffed against stealth killers.

Probably need to make sure the heartbeat update works as intended first. If they plan to update Spine Chill then likely it'll be in the next meta overhaul (though if no one uses it anymore they probably won't bother).
