Is furtive chase+ Friends til the end what people wanted for split hooks?

I know people have always wanted a reason to leave hooks and find someone else (or at least a meaningful one) this combo seems to serve that purpose. It tells you the next person to go after with a scream notification. And rewards you for hooking the obsession with a 10% haste and undetectable for 18 seconds to help you jump or cut off that next survivor easier. I've seen this build happen a lot more since the haste buff and some creators say it "fakes you into wanting to play nice" though I feel the reward is good enough anyway. Do people think this is a meaningful enough reward for hook cycling?

    They aren’t good enough to run imo. An effect that is only relevant on specifically the obsession isn’t triggering enough for what it gives and exposed on friends is so short in duration that it might as well not exist. It’s essentially just an aura read. And you even aren’t getting that value if it’s the obsession.

    Both would need buffs to be worth it.

    Yes I'll take it as a split considering we lost bbq and chili

    It‘s a good combo on mobile killers or ones that can down you easily. I played it a lot on kaneki.

    It's two perks for not really that good result imo.
    Also nowhere near good enough reason compared to old BBQ.

    Killers could run 1 decent perk and one lackluster perk to get benefit for spreading hooks or they could run stronger perks and not.

    The perks are rubbish and not worth using over ever the shrinking amount of worthwhille killer perks. There's literally nothing in the game to incentivise you to split hooks, because it is objectively bad for you, despite survivors demanding the devs punish killer for not doing so. The whole debate in nonsense, the game needs to be redesigned and rebalanced from the ground up to do this. Even if we got worth while perks to run, you'll always be better off making it a 3v1 ASAP

    A lot of killers nowadays can actually keep up quite a bit without tunneling and camping, at least against 99% of survivor teams. Tunneling and camping are just far easier to pull off yet still very strong, which is why some killer players resort to those tactics.

    Well the big problem is ftte is random and it can cause survivors to get unlucky and repeatedly be selected.

    Besides… Pain Resonance and Grim Embrace is already a great incentive to spread hooks.

    Undetectable doesn't do much vs SWF on comms which are the efficient players where you need to tunnel so uh… no

    It's a great combo on a handful of killers like Unknown but most can't get any serious value out of Furtive Chase.

    I actually do like Furtive Chase on certain killers. But, only when paired with Game Afoot to try and manage who becomes the obsession.

    On obsession based builds, it can be pretty good.

    Still too weak, I tried using those combo but you still needs nemesis to see auras and also duration is stupidly short

    duration should be increased to like 30 seconds or more
