Beast of Prey buff idea

Very simple change that will make it more viable:

Your lust for a kill is so intense that your connection with the Entity is momentarily lost, making you totally unpredictable.

The Red Stain disappears after gaining Bloodlust Tier I and stays hidden until the chase ends.


Gain 30/40/50 % more bloodpoints for actions in the Hunter Category.

Beast of Prey has a cool-down of 45 seconds.

    Make it not depend on Bloodlust at all and just make it like M&A; when the chase starts and no cooldown.

    That will be just too strong. Not a very reasonable idea.

    Should have cooldown and affects 1 chase per cooldown.

    This is a good idea. What makes the perk bad is the bloodlust requirement.

    Actually, not so. The bloodpoints aren't as enticing because most good killers fill the Hunter category Completely on their own, with exception of Ghostface if you just destroy them.

    And if you're a competent survivor, then you know the general area of the killer even if you're in a chase as well. You want to direct where the chase goes. In a way, it's the opposite of M&A, so it works. Besides, it'd make you use your ears.

    Honestly I like the original comment the best, not spammable like M&A but not very rare. No red stain is a huge power and hiding it well already messes with people when done right, but as it is now the power is very mediocre just because it's so selective. If it were to stick around past bloodlust and in chase after it activated it would be really nice (with a cooldown).

    Some interesting ideas there.

    But am i the only one that is more interested in the bonus points of the perk compared to its effect? 😁

    Since there is already another perk that increase points in the Hunter category (Thrill of the Hunt) i'd wish for this perk to increase points into Brutality.

    This way we would have:

    1 Perk for Deviousness (Distressing)

    1 Perk for Hunting (Thrill of the Hunt)

    1 Perk for Brutality (Beast of Prey)

    Waiting for the Sacrifice one which would be the one i'd leave into my Perks kit forever since sacrifice points can be low if survivors don't save each other, or DC/suicide on hooks.

    To be fair, if any of those deserves the Hunting bonus, is Beast of Prey, given its effect. Deviousness should be Thrill of the Hunt and Distressing Brutality . Monstrous Shrine when it gets buffed could have Sacrifice bonus (however I don't think they will ever add Sacrifice bonus).

    Fair enough. I'd be fine either way with it. 😄
