Have been watching survivors run around in multiple games without leaving scratchmarks even thought they are using no perks to do so.

    Without any recording or screenshots it's difficult to know what exactly happened.

    There are plenty of perks that can suppress scratch marks. Are you sure that nobody in your matches brought any of the following perks?

    • Babysitter (unhooked survivor leaves no scratch marks for 8 seconds)
    • Boon: Shadow Step (survivors in its aura leave no scratch marks, effect lingers for a few seconds after leaving boon range)
    • Dance With Me (after fast vaulting a window or out of a locker, you leave no scratch marks for 3 seconds)
    • Deception (after using it you leave no scratch marks or pools of blood for 3 seconds)
    • Distortion (once triggered, suppresses scratch marks for 10 seconds)
    • Lightweight (scratch marks disappear 5 seconds faster and are much harder to track)
    • Low Profile (suppresses scratch marks for 90 seconds)
    • Lucky Break (injured survivor leaves no scratch marks for 60 seconds. Timer stops when healthy and can be recharged)
    • Parental Guidance (stunning the killer suppresses scratch marks for 7 seconds)
    • Self-Preservation (suppresses scratch marks for 10 seconds)
    • Teamwork: Collective Stealth (suppresses scratch marks when close to teammate who healed you or until one of you loses a health state)

    Note, the above perks also have other effects (for example, suppressing pools of blood, grunts of pain etc) but I only listed the part concering scratch marks.

    Yeah I double checked all the perks they brought because I wanted to know what was being used.

    I have been noticing this also. None of the perks that would suppress or make them go away faster were in use. They need to look at scratch marks. It alao shouldn't be so close together as they are and upcthe walls and lockers imo.

    Noticed this as well, PS4 and PC/Steam.

    Scratch marks seem less on some maps now.

    Hello, can we get more information? Screenshots of end game screens with loadouts, any videos of it occurring, etc? Thank you!

    It seems like sometimes survivors are creating scratchmarks behind themselves instead of directly on top of themselves

    Why hasn't this been fixed yet? I am experiencing this too, scratchmarks disappearing entirely and they have no perks that do this.
