Predator

Did you find the buff to Predator enough?
I personally don't, i don't see myself running this on anyone yet except maybe Spirit cause of the obvious reason.

But then i thought: You can't see Scratchmarks until you're close enough, and even then they moreso fade in rather than just popping in.

So what about this: Why not make it so Scratchmarks can also be seen from further?
I can't say how much i'd want it increased though, cause i have no idea what the base distance is.

Wonder if this discussion can be kept friendly. ;)

    Scratch marks should never change. Anything related to them is completely buggy and screwed up no matter what they do. Predator should increase the sound of footsteps. Lightweight should decrease the sound of footsteps. Problem solved.

    The footstep sounds being higher or lower is pretty damn cool.

    Scratch marks can be seen from any distance, they are just harder to see due to fps/obstacles. You would be surprised how many times I've seen a few orange marks half way up a tree or on the shack outer wall from a distance. I think Predator should make each survivor have a unique color to their scratch marks so you know who you are stalking in conjunction with the current change.

    I would like it if they just increased the visual brightness of this perk to make it worthy of a perk slot.

    Does stridor also effect footsteps? I like the idea but I would also like the idea of what it does to scratch marks to stay as well

    It does not, just voices.

    This is something like my idea. Predator does what it does now but also diminishes the Killer's footsteps and brushing against foliage. Would be great if their footsteps were made more noticeable as well.

    Predator should turn scratch marks into actual footsteps. Then I will consider using it, but even then I am not quite sure whether its worth using it tbh. Most perks I equip in order to be able dealing with the broken map design and to break through loops.
    Most survivor dont even try to hide anyway^^
