Accessibility suggestion

For those who are hearing impaired, as a killer, there are screen notifications for sound alerts with regards to survivors doing a fast vault, completed gens, failed skill checks, screams, etc.

But there is no notification for hearing a survivor whimper/grunt of pain when they are hiding, or in the dying state. Yes, there are pools of blood, but they despawn after a certain amount of time, so they can't be relied on.


If someone is injured and hiding, they can get away, possibly heal themselves. But for a survivor in the dying state, they're basically slugged, and if they're the last one, who knows if they'd be able to find the hatch. But they also might just be hiding in tall grass or something, and just waiting out the timer.

I feel this detracts from the enjoyment of the game, and suggest some type of patch. Not entirely sure, maybe a sound notification in the general vicinity of the dying survivor, similar to the Diversion perk? Maybe if the killer is beyond 64m they get a notification of the general area; not specifically at the survivors exact location.

I can see an argument against this being it would make it more killer friendly as those who are not hard of hearing would then be able to activate this accessibility option, therefore making it easier for them to get a 4K, and abusing the option.

My counter-proposal for that is if the killer enables that accessibility option, then the in-game volume is muted and cannot be unmuted unless that accessibility option is disabled. From the killers perspective, they would be completely deaf.


Something similar would need to be put in for the survivor side because if the killer is Wraith, there's the sound for when the Wraith breathes, or uses their cloak. Maybe something similar, a sound notification for the survivors, but the accessibility option would mute everything else.


Just a thought.
