Cut Loose soft rework concept
Cut Loose:
This perk activates when you are being chased by the killer.
While this perk is active, your rushed vaults are silent.
Whenever you rush vault, the killers aura is revealed to you for 5/6/7 seconds. This effect has a 30-second cooldown.
Edit:(only the aura read would go on cooldown not the silent rush. Similar to wglf only having the endurance cd and not the heal speed.)
Cut Loose is one of the most situational perks in the game so I thought of making it like a im all ears but for survivor while still keeping the nature of the perk by silencing fast vaults while being chased by the killer. This way there is a clear difference between quick&quiet vs cut loose because before there was never a reason to run cut loose when quick and quiet existed.
Let me know how you feel about this rework and hopefully maybe it could be implemented one day because cut loose is a very bad perk right now.

I don't want it reworked, I just want the cooldown shortened and the chase requirement dropped.
It's a really fun perk, it just has too many stipulations attached to be useful.

at that point why not just run quick and quiet?

Because Cut Loose already fills a niche, in cases where Rush Actions are spammed and/or chase mindgaming.
I used it a lot while going for the Hiding Seeker achievement and it helped a lot, since it gave more a larger window to perform a Rushed Action without making noise after my Quick and Quiet had already been used.
In a similar sense, you can fast vault a window, and then vault back silently, which can throw the Killer off. The mindgame potential with this perk is actually really good and often underestimated. Quick and Quiet does not have that potential unfortunately, since the functionality of Quick and Quiet makes it unable to do this.
And, one of my personal favorite use-cases for this perk is that you can blind the Killer at a pallet and spam vault the pallet so they cannot break it. Definitely not a "meta" use of the perk, but it's fun, and I think it's fine to have perks that are not that strong but really fun to use.

Real question is why run Quick and Quiet when this perk exists?

Cut Loose allows you to chain quiet vaults, and has the mindgame of not being Quick and Quiet. If they hear a loud vault first, they won't expect another silent vault.

longer duration is probably better. for example 20 seconds duration. it would be annoying to play against iron will+cut loose survivors in the chase. everything is silent.

I don't like the aura reveal thing, tbh.
I'd do something like this:
• Remove the chase condition.
• Decrease the cooldown to 30 seconds.
• Increase the activation window to 6/8/10 seconds.
• Additional effect: Each time you vault a unique window while the perk is active, your vaulting speed is increased by 3%, up to 15%. The initial vault doesn't count towards this effect.
