A question about the PTB Furtive Chase
In the PTB the perk furtive chase has been nerfed, going from a speed and undetectable perk to a terror radius shrinking perk, and its effect will max out at a 50% decrease of the terror radius size, so for most killers its 32 → 16 meters if I am not mistaken. How does this work with the monitor and abuse perk, does it mean the terror radius is decreased by 75% so normal killers with these perks will have an 8 meter terror radius?
I want to figure out how much I can shrink the 32 terror radius of average killers, if anyone knows what the interaction between the perks is I would appreciate it if you could help answer this question.

Pretty much every value in this game is additive and not multiplicative, so if youre running M&A with max stacks you should end up with a 75% reduction.
Even on its own I cannot see how this is a nerf, a side grade at the very least. The only negative I can really see is the lost of 10% Haste, but a permanent reduction of your TR is being HEAVILY slept on compared to 18 seconds of Undetectable.
The killers who benefit the most from Furtive currently are high mobility due to consistency. They can actually make use of the Undetectable and have a better chance of catching somebody off guard. 20m is not a lot of distance/heads up for killers like Blight, Kaneki or Billy. Hell, Nurse still has a 32m radius and with Furtive she can literally be on top of you with no warning at all times.
Now other killers can actually make use of this. Permanent 16m TR Slinger? 12m Spirit? These are nothing to scoff at. Im honestly getting flashbacks to when Franklins was initially reworked from having items disappear to having items slowly deplete while on the ground. The initial reaction was it being a nerf, but it didnt take long to realize it was a buff.

Thank your for answering! I am mostly upset about the speed boost being removed, I really liked running it with FTTE as the speed boost and obsession roulette were really fun when paired up. But now I am trying to think of a funny stealth build that I can use and just wanted to conform the mechanics of the new version of furtive chase, and from what I understand they do stack.

The reason people call it a nerf, is because of how much people valued the combo that was Furitive and Friends to the end. The combo also somewhat promoted a healthy play style of "chase this one" instead of staying around the hook.

Which that playstyle is still possible and even provides extra value outside of those 18 seconds.

But it wont last. They nerfed M&A for the specific reason of having too little of TR. Which some people are bringing up already., dropping tr to 8-10m if paired with M&A.
