Furtive Chase Rework That keeps Anti-Tunneling

I want to mention that I have reposted this post multiple times as this is a a very weak and almost useless perk for killer and unfun to face against Survivor. I am reposting this because of the recent rework so I hope this can gain some traction.

Previously

Furtive Chase: At the moment Furtive Chase Gives you a token every time you hook your obsession up to a total of 4 Tokens. Each token lowers your terror radius by 4 meters per token WHILE in chase lowering your Terror Radius by . This gives little to no value as first off the amount your terror radius is lowered is very little, however this amount would be more if it wasn’t only in chase however lowering your terror radius for chase does nothing as the survivor all ready knows your there, especially with how little it’s lowered; along with all that because of the activation action, booking ONLY the obsession, the one benefit I can see with this perk is it passively counters tunneling if you use it (Similar to no way out).

Current Rework

Now this is going to be a new part of the post where I want to talk about what the current rework is seeming like it’s going to be. The way the perk works remains the same however instead of gaining tokens you gain a static 5% Haste and Undetectable for 14/16/18. This keeps the passive Anti-tunnel while still being a stronger effect. I think this could be a really strong perk if they increased the time. It allows you to be really aggressive after an unhook with both the speed for catching up and chase and the added undetectable for catch up. However with the small time limit I still doubt we’re going to see much use.

My Rework

I am hoping to create a strong stealth perk with very strong Anti-tunneling, with it being a very strong perk that rewords action but punishes tunneling (Unlike perks like Pain Resonance , Pop Goes the Weasel, etc.). The first thing I would love to rework is how tokens are gained (And lost) Instead of you gaining tokens on the obsession I think a better system would be you gaining a token on everyone besides the obsession. However when you Hook the obsession you lose all or maybe at least half the tokens. I believe along with this Each token should give less of a terror radius decrease but you can gain a higher maximum of tokens in order to balance out being able to gain tokens with more hooks. With this change I believe the terror radius should be more then it was before by maybe 8 (I think it was 16 before so this would make it 24). My last change for this perk is that It should work outside of chase, with the perk having a really strong anti-tunneling function I believe the ability should be incredibly strong in order to get more people to use it. This will give you reason to run it over other stealth perks, with it being constant if you don’t tunnel and with it being unique working under terror radius instead of undetectable.

Im sorry if there’s any grammar or typo mistakes I typed real fast and didn’t notice them. I hope I can get some positive feedback and we can convince behavior to turn this into a better perk.
