Please add a first person mode for survivor

I suggested this a year ago or so but please do it. I know it’d make things way harder for survivor but I crave feeling the horror in this game again. I haven’t felt it since I was a rank 20 lmao. Imagine how much more tense it’d be? Even if I died 90% of games, I wouldn’t care. Every match you’d feel on edge and there’d be way more jump scare potential. And when you do escape, it feels super awesome because of how challenging it is


If you don’t feel like doing that, at the very least please implement the idea someone on reddit posted. Make a perk where you get bonus blood points in all catergoies just for running it, but the killer terror radius is silent all game. That would make things interesting and more fun for us veteran survivors who think this game is way too ez.


please bhvr do this... it’ll make the game less stale. Just have the first person thing as a separate mode

    You'd see nothing but 4k's and many many Pigs, Myers and Ghostfaces since zero TR = Grab since in a FPV you'd literally stare at a Gen for 80 seconds and wouldn't even realise the killer was right behind you. Maybe if the view was only during running around and not when working on gens, then I'd be down for it as a seperate mode.

    If you implement mechanics to help, first person would be feasible. Like for example, in outlast you can look behind you while running. Do stuff like this for survivors and it won’t be completely impossible to win.

    I would like that as a mode. Like you can change it in the survivor lobby as a perspective like in pubg "TPP or FPP" and every survivor in that match will play in fpp

    All the games will be like rank 20's games :p No one's looking behind, no 360's, no techs :) I would love that.

    Killers would need some changes tho

    ya the main purpose of my suggestion for a first person mode is to add more horror to the game.

    It would definitely be horror. Looking forward to this feature

    Oh then that'd work. Dunno why I didn't think of that. But yeah, with a way to look behind it would be pretty cool. The only time I really get any kinda scare on this game these days is if a killer sneaks up on me and grabs me. So your idea would really bring the fear back to the game!

    Killers base speed would probably have to be slightly tweaked for a first person mode

    many downsides, first of all survivors movements should be changed, because they're so badly made (like super fast neat turning, moonwalking) it would cause a lot of motion sickness, then all the stealth killer would rise, it would be so hard the first 6 months for the survivors it would probably cause a riot (like they already did in the past), and the game would die. Unless you make it a separate game mode, in this case only that game mode would die.

    That would only really apply if you forced people to do First Person. I get the motion sickness, but it being an option that isn't forced won't gonna kill the game, that's absurd

    It could be like that one perk on reddit that makes you oblivious the whole round but you get 200% bloodpoints

    you have the legion pic, did you forget the riot survivors did to nerf legion to the ground?

    if you force people to have first person, hence w/o a particular game mode, the game is soon gonna die/revert its change.

    Maybe I should've been more clear then. I meant if you force the survivors to USE first person regardless of if they WANT to, then it would be a problem. Having an option you DON'T have to use isn't a problem.

    First-person survivor gameplay would be nauseating.

    first person with some tweaks, ie having a subtle ghostface "location indicator" (the half circle) if the killer would be in your third person perspective in a 10m radius behind/to the side of you, to indicate something coming near. along with the ability to turn your head a on a full half circle shoulder on a gen/possibly further by tweaking shoulder animations so the players can look behind.

    It would work but require quite a bit of tweaking. If killer has undetectable though/your oblivious it would not have a location indicator relying only on sight (which would make it a bit harder, but would be a bit more fair on stealth killers) Allowing 360 movement whilst in first person would also be a nessecity, even if backwards running/walking was slightly slower to compensate for the ability to pan around in 3rd person whilst looping. ie this change would be purely to allow first person players to react as 3rd person ones would in the ways of movement. Would also allow for proper full moonwalk/running if in first person as you could press S or down on your control stick to move backwards!

  • Ok so.. what if BHVR made that a Survivor offering, and ofc it would grant you 200% bloodpoints if you escape.
