Friends 'Til The End Counter?

As a survivor, I'm seeing killers run this perk more often recently.

But I'm not really sure how to counter it. I'm getting absolutely destroyed by this, especially when coming up against high mobility killers like Ghoul, Nurse and Blight.

I decided to start running Calm Spirit and Distortion but in my last game, after the last survivor was death hooked, I hid in a locker, still had a distortion stack, and yet the killer still knew to come right for me.

So is there any counter to this perk?

    if I recall correctly, they are given just a few seconds to know your exact location unless in a locker, then that's dropped and only the aura is revealed beyond that. That means if you're blocking your aura with an available distortion token, they'll only know your general location. Normally, I'd run one direction for a few seconds so your guaranteed location appears to have you run one way, then stop and change directions while your aura is hidden. They should run off in the wrong direction. Also, another thing is if you know they have Friends Till The End and you're getting targeted next is to put as much distance as you can. Your exposed effect doesn't last too long. Alternatively, you can just simply hop in a locker before someone gets hooked.

    All unnecessary. If you were around for the BBQ meta, its mostly the same counter. When a survivor is downed, look for a nearby locker. Hide in the locker when you think the survivor is about to be hooked. If youre in the locker when the survivor is hooked, you wont scream or show your aura. If youre the obsession, stay in the locker until the exposed meter is half.

    You dont even have to do this counter out of paranoia until you see the perk activate for the first time, or if you are paranoid you can hide for the first down to confirm FTTE is not in play.

    Vigil reduces the exposed effect and hiding in lockers blocks the aura reading. It also blocks the screaming, but that's rather unreliable since the new obsession is randomly chosen.

    Head On + Flashbang is a counter. Slow vault into a locker and wait for them to come for you. Stun them, blind them, and then cheese it away.
