Open-Handed change - share all aura-reading with nearby survivors

Open Handed should should have an additional effect to share all of your aura reading with nearby survivors within a short range (e.g. 12m). To make usage smoother, it could also have a lingering time once you're outside the range (similar to vigil/streetwise).

This would broaden its use case while keeping it within its niche of being an aura team support perk. This change would also benefit solo queue significantly more than it would benefit SWFs.

Examples of interesting uses (including those terrible perks that no one uses but might be more relevant now that you can share the info with your team!):

  • Deja Vu/Visionary/Rookie Spirit - your teammates now know which gens to prioritise or where gens are.
  • Inner Focus - if a survivor bodyblocks for you, they can also know where the killer is moving.
  • Troubleshooter - if you drop a pallet for your teammate, they can also track the killer's movement.
  • Breakdown/Wicked/Babysitter - when unhooking or unhooking a survivor now both of you will know if the killer is returning and if it's safe to heal. You can also use the info in chase if the killer is at the hook.
  • Bond/Empathy/Better Together/Lucky Star - your nearby teammate will now also know where the rest of your team is.
  • Alert/Fogwise/Any Means Necessary - when healing or working with a surv on a gen, you both know where the killer is.
  • Wake Up - you can help your teammate find the exit gate in endgame

    I've seen this suggested as it's own perk and thought it was an excellent idea, especially with blood amber.
