Surveillance buff

Hello my fellow Claudeets (hehe lore references) I would like to propose a buff to the worse of the pigs perks, Surveillance.

 Regular surveillance shows the last regressing generators aura for 16 seconds.

 My buff to Surveillance would be instead of showing the generator show who's working on it until they get off, if you kick it beforehand.

Yes it's overpowered but if we have bbq and bitter murmur that can help tracking why not have this

    Or maybe just like the new Pink Wraith add-on. And remove the timer

    Surveillance should change the aura colour of the generator when outside of a 32 meter radius. Aura of all gens within 80 meters fade to a red colour as they repair more towards completion. Kicking a gen puts perk on cooldown for 20/15/10 secs.

    I would really like to have aura reading towards the survivors but tbh alls I really want is for the timer to be like a min really... theres no way the a killer can kick 3 gens in 16 seconds and be able to focus on the already kicked gens before the timer runs out...

    This sounds like an idea for a new perk... I dont really care for the requirements of having to be within 32 meters and then a cooldown on top of it...survielance is geared towards stealth killers... this idea would work for every killer

    I like that idea of surveillance showing the aura of all survivors working on a gen within a 32 meter range. Basically if you are working on a gen within 32 meters of the killer, the killer will see your aura. Would work a hell of alot better with the pig and would also be a good perk for low terror radius killers like Hag, Michael, and Wraith

    Honestly I think they intended to do "60 seconds", but someone heard "16 seconds" and they just didn't bother to fix it.

    I agree with this.. you can tell that the devs were rushing the pig out so mistakes were made.. and I dont think surveillance needs anything else just more time like 60 seconds would be perfect..

    No matter what you do this perk is not going to change rank 1-5 meta perks.
    Its just not worth it no matter how much you buff it, atm in the game you need agressive perks not support.

    What about numbers? Perks have 3 levels.

    Just remove the timer, then you have a nice MID tier perk for gen defense strategies. Its nothing crazy but a lil useful and super easy for the devs to patch. In fact why haven't they done this!

    I think it would be great if the surveillance effect last for 16/24/32 second and a survivor can get rid of the surveillance effect if they repair the generator for 4/6/8 second and while the survivor is repairing the generator the aura of the generator will become yellow instead of white and the surveillance perk has a cooldown of 48/32/24 second

    I think they should change the time to 60 seconds and reveal the auras of survivors eight meters or less away from the gen for ten seconds
