Should Open Handed also effect perks like Streetwise, Leader, Vigil and Breakout?

Increase the range (by 8m) of the benefits of these perks when Open handed is equipped, not just aura reading?

    That's actually a good idea

    Maybe. But I'd much rather add the effect of a different open handed thread I saw and added onto: suggesting that Open Handed should reveal all the auras that can be seen by any survivor to all survivors within an 8 meter radius.

    So if you've got Alert, and someone next to you is running Open Handed, then that person gets to see the aura of the killer breaking a pallet all the way on the other side of the map at the same time you do. And other similar synergistic shenanigans like that

    Not for breakout it shouldn't, this perk is borderline broken if the numbers were to change even the smallest amount, the rest of them it sounds like a great idea but breakout effects a core mechanic for killers and should not be able to be buffed in my opinion. It would be like adding a perk that makes you die faster on the hook and another perk that can buff the first one.

    I think Open Handed would be cooler if it also reduces aura reading distance of killer perks. Like 2/3/4 meters or more depending on how strong it'll be with multiple players stacking it.
