This perk activates when healthy.

The sound of your breathing, footsteps & movement through foliage is reduced by 90%.

If within 2m of The Killer while further than 2m from a pallet or window, leave no scratch marks. This effect lingers for 8s after leaving their radius, immediately ceasing if injured or inside a locker.

Blinding The Killer while this perk is active will disable it's secondary effect after 9s and then go on cooldown for 90s. It's primary effect will persist.

Scenario:

You are hiding in the corner next to a doorway. The killer walks through without checking it. The perk procs, so guaranteed no scratch marks for at minimum 8s. You can now silently chase after the killer around like a cat to set up for a flashlight save, Break Out play or steath unhook, OR you can sprint away.

Explaination:

-Currently, the killer can still hear your breathing, movement through foliage & non-running movement. Reducing the sound of everything by 90% makes you effectively silent (the killer has background music that makes it hard to hear quiet sounds).

-The 'further than 2m from a pallet or window' requirement prevents activating the secondary effect at loops, unless the pallet is first broken. That is what Dance With Me is for.

-Repeatedly blinding the killer, running through them and disappearing would be unfair, hence the 90s cooldown on the secondary effect only.

-The secondary effect is intended only to activate when successfully getting dangerously close to the killer unnoticed, hence why getting noticed and injured immediately deactivates it.
