2v8 features as 1v4 perks
I was reading a YouTube comment sectionand someone had the idea of a survivor perk that did what happens in 2v8 where it just tells you any time a killer sees your aura. This had me thinking about other 2v8 features and if they'd make balanced perks.
2v8 shows the aura of every unhooked survivor after a gen pops. Could maybe show the aura of the survivor(s) with the least hook states when a gen pops for perk form.
2v8 autohooking might be pretty nice. Make it trigger able after 2 seconds and the survivor goes on a far away non-scourge hook. Thoughts?

Scaredy cat perk would work for the aura notification, balancing it would be it's own issue. Being able to quickly know which perk the killer has for example.
In a way Distortion does this but blocks the aura.

Distortion does, but it also has tokens. You might know a killer has lethal, but miss the BBQ that comes after the first hook.

Yeah, its about balancing it. It works for 2v8 because auras are a built-in part of the match. In 1v4 it's not as built-in due to perk and addon variety.
For instance, scratch mirror Myers. Spinechill was a death sentance against this setup. By making a perk that always, without limits, notifies the survivor to the presence of a stealth killer is just reverting old mistakes. A token system or some limit is reasonable though.

Im gonna disagree here... Hear me out. Old spinechill was brutal against Scratched mirror because it notified you that you have the killer's attention essentially. If the perk worked to just tell you about aura reading... that just means he's within 32 meters of you. You'd have way more false positives if you think perk light on=killer is after you.
Also... scratched mirror kinda died with the map offering change anyway.

Object of Obsession already alerts you when the killer sees your aura with the benefit of you seeing their aura as well

OoO ALSO includes showing the killer your auraeven if they dont use aura perks.

Object of Obsession does the same job
0 -
Yes, but thats more of a benefit for you then for them
Most of the time they are not gonna be looking at your direction, most of the time your aura is gonna be hidden behind a generator, most of the time the killer is gonna be occupied with a teammate
Unless you wanna go for flashlight and pallet saves, OoO is huge

Theres plenty of perks that do something similar to each other but with some differences. I wouldn't say Friends til the end has no place in the game because BBQ exists for example. This is just an idea for an alternative that while not having as much of a POSITIVE effect, also lacks the negative effect.
0 -
No, they are completely different perks
BBQ only shows survivors auras at a distance
Friends will show the Obsession aura at any distance, expose them and give the obsession to a different survivor when hooking the obsession
They are not even comparable

They're both aura perks that trigger upon hook to help find your next chase. All the other details are the differences. If you want, I can give a different example. Spies and Whispers are 2 tracking perks that are always on and centered around the killer. The differences is that spies requires a crow to be disturbed, which makes it proc less often than whispers, but gives more precise info when it DOES proc.

Sure, but the existence of these perks doesn't justify adding or reworking another perk to have the exact same effect as a pre-existing one, only worse. If anything, these perks need a rework before adding more useless cluster in the game

We have a plethora of perks that fall in the same category of haste, gen speed/slowdown, tracking, heal speed/slowdown ect... I dont get what the huge problem is about having another option for aura detection when we have 4 perks that boost killer vault speed, lol.

They are triggered by different means. It makes no sense for a perk to just send you an alert for when the killer is reading your aura, especially when a much better perk provides the same effect and lets you see the killers aura as well. There's no excuse

You know, I would love a perk to show me the aura of the closes pallet. I don't need to see all pallets in the map in a range, I just need to see the closest

Nah, scratch mirror is not dead. Choosing the map was just making it easier to do and avoid bad maps.

2v8 isn't perfect, but there's a lot of features it employs that could work nicely in the main game. A perk that alerts you when the killer sees your aura would be nice, but I also don't know that BHVR would do it any time soon given the changes they've been making.
I've been saying this for years, but scaling difficulty would be a good idea too. It's way too weak as is in 2v8 because it doesn't function properly as a comeback mechanic, but it is better than nothing.

Except if their undetectable.

The perk lights up when the killer sees your aura whether you can see theirs or not.

That would be neat. A remote hooking perk would be cool too 😄
0 -
Still lights up even if they are undetectable

I know. I was just made aware of that 😅
