Survivor Deception Perks

Man, I love dead by daylight, but every once in a while, we have an absolutely overpowered killer that can find you anywhere on the map. I was thinking a cool survivor perk would be the ability to "leave" your aura somewhere. For example, you could activate this perk while fixing a generator and then walk away. When a killer with BBQ & chili hangs a friend, they will see that aura still fixing that generator long after you left. This could be activated during other things as well, like hiding in a shed, healing, searching through chest or remaining on a hook.

Other variations can of this perk:

  • Aura is based on where you were 10-30 seconds prior.
  • Aura's actions mirror your own actions, but in a different location (5/10/20 meters away?)

Downsides: this also affects other survivors who have aura-reading abilities.

Another idea for a deceptive perk is the survivor's ability to generate scratch marks that stay for an extended amount of time: 40/50/60 seconds? For example, you can make fake trails that the killer can see and lead him away from your actual location. If you are being chased, you can double-back and obscure your location a confusing maze of scratch marks. There are some serious downsides to this, but could potentially open up new game play dynamics.
