The new boon perk
I feel like it won’t get used much, honestly I prefer a map and plunders.

It’s not actually too bad. I feel like the best way to use it is to just boon a totem ASAP at the start of the match and then you can see where all the generators are and not have to waste any time looking for them.
On the PTB I used this build: Illumination, Overzealous, Pharmacy, Desperate Measures. So I knew where all the gens were and could do them faster, knew where all the chests were to get green medkits, and heal faster with them. It was nice.
I hope they buff it to show exit gates and/or linger for a few seconds after leaving like some of the other boons do.

It's a boon. If coh is dead how will this be used?
By the time I've crossed a map I know where gens are. If it's indoors I'll use my brain. But a boon only helping on indoor maps is now rng dependant.
What if the boon is on one side of the map? You run there only to realize you must run back because you decided to use a boon instead of recall.
It should be reworked to increase boon radius and reduce the sound boons make. Should also make booning faster always.

I don't think it will be popular either but i personally like the design of it. I find the fact it shows up to 7 generators at once helpful as well as chests. You can plan ahead and it allows your team mates to do the same. The increased totem speed can help even though it's a small increase but there's more times where totems get cleansed at the very last second than people realise and this makes this happen even more.
I like the design because it's inspired by the yellow paint in the alan wake games. The yellow paint in the games is revealed when you shine a light on it and it usually guides you towards your objective or something that may help you like extra items. This boon perk in dbd does the same, shows you your objective, generators, and chests which have items. I really like that.

I'm a big boon lover. Unfortunately the new boon perk is really just a waste of time really. Like someone mentioned, you can bring a map and get the same value, the value of information on where all gens are. Im sorry but in this game, that doesn't do much. The perk could at least show exit gates as well, and that would make it a lot better. It is a boon overall, takes time to set up, takes up a perk slot, killer can break boon, etc. All things considered for it being a boon, showing all chests and gens is truly.. bad lol. Just bring deja vu or a map and you get the same value without having all the negatives about boon perk. A simple buff for the perk to show the exit gates would be really nice, or maybe a small buff to boons overall would be really helpful

It should definitely have one of these as an additional effect. Boons are weak as it is, and this is by far the weakest boon.
At the very least the boons effect of increased blessing/cleansing speed should be either always active or active as long as any boon is on the map, not just your own.
