PTB Unknown’s staring mechanic still doesn’t actually require staring.

Survivors get a 1.25 second buffer after looking at the Unknown, and there isn’t a minimum amount of time they need to look at the Unknown for the buffer to happen.

This means a survivor can quickly flick their camera to the Unknown once a second, and get 100% uptime of staring, even though they are actually spending more time looking away from the Unknown, than they are staring at the Unknown. This also means that if the survivor briefly sees the Unknown through a small hole in a wall, they still get a full 1.25 seconds of reveal time.

The buffer should require for the survivor to be staring at the Unknown for a minimum amount of time (i.e. 1.5 seconds) before the buffer is allowed to happen, so the staring mechanic actually encourages staring.
