Houndsense is a bit underwhelming

It currently puts Survivors that you hit into Deep Wounds, which I don't get, you won't be leaving said Survivors anyways so Deep Wounds doesn't really do much if anything at all (unless it will do something with the Deep Wounds update soon wink wink)

I think it would be really cool if Houndsense actually helped you track said Survivors, for example:

  • Survivors suffering from Houndsense have their blood last longer on the ground, their pools of blood are much bigger and they bleed even while healthy
  • Hitting those Survivors would grant you the ability to see pools of blood bright red for 30 seconds.

Something like that which helps you with tracking Survivors! I think that would be way more useful and more themathic than Deep Wounds!

I have also added a new effect which no other thing in the game does iirc, those being larger pools of blood, so its harder to miss them! What do you think?

    At the very least, the grunts of pain and longer pools of blood should be way louder when survivors are injured or in deep wounds. Having these effects only work on survivors in the dying status is so weak and useless.

    Yeah, houndsense feels like a largely pointless afterthought in its current state. Which makes it really weird that a large chunk of her addons revolve around houndsense.

    i am pretty sure it's just there to tunnel people off hook by putting them into deep wound when they get BT. It is like pyramid head power where you hit survivor on hook and survivor that get hooked at same time.

    Only with this one, you can skip speed boost.

    the actual tracking is that you send dog out, you don't follow path, you just check gens and then dog comes back to you. it's little bit like vecna's dispelling sphere except dispelling sphere comes back to you.
