Open Handed was already one of my favourite perks paired with Bond.

I’m so happy about the change to 16m.

Now i can know when the random is doing something stupid from even further away!

I'm looking forward to this as well. It's such a nice buff.

I can't wait to pair it with Kindred now.

It’s not like that doesn’t hold value.

Knowing who NOT to help can be a life saver. Also knowing when a chase is coming from 52m away is also a huge help.

I’m very likely to run Bond, Buckle Up, Visionary, and Open Handed. As a solo player Buckle Up holds HUGE value. I friggin HATE HATE HATE getting off my gen from the opposite side of the map because it’s clear no one else is helping the slug, only to get there and they haven’t done any recovery AT ALL. It can absolutely be what gets me killed, or everyone killed because a gen could have been finished instead. Being able to know whether a slug is a waste of my time or not from (now) 64m is pretty significant.

I wish Ace was free on PC :(

He has so many fun perks, but it's impossible to justify the iri shards for fun, ineffectual perks

I tried bond in solo queue a few times.

I uh....I turned that off.....ignorance is bliss, I preferred not knowing what the other survivors were doing as at least then I still had hope that they were being productive.

Kindred always has, and always will have a hard cap of 24m for reading the killers aura. So currently right now, more than one open handed doesn’t affect Kindred. It’ll be the same with the new open handed change. Killer aura reading will still cap at 24m.

Damn, I misinterpreted the change. Thanks for the heads up!

Kindred is the only perk that has this hard cap though. They didn’t want it to become a broken perk with 4 open handed stacks.

And although they are now removing the stacking of Open Handed, I can’t see them removing the kindred cap. Reading the killers aura from 32m of the hook would be very broken.
