I think Lethal Pursuer is 3 seconds away from becoming a more interactive Corrupt Intervention

Hey all. I've had a couple strong opinions regarding Lucky Break and No Way Out, and seeing BHVR agree with me has made me feel a little bold so I'm going to throw my hat in for this perk as well.

Lethal is what a standard chasing killer wants. It gets you up close and personal real early. Now that this perk exists, I think Corrupt should be more of a defensive perk for the type of gamer who likes to setup such as Hag or a Plague.

Corrupt promotes some pretty unfun gameplay, even though it's a necessary evil. Watching people hide out the entire duration is pretty silly, regardless of whether or not that's a good strategy.

I think juuuuuuuuuuust 3 extra seconds, bringing the total to 12 seconds, would make Lethal Pursuer a 1:1 replacement for Corrupt.

As it is, I feel 9 seconds is a huge gamble. I think Discordance or Tinkerer would be the safer option if you're not already running it. The potential for payoff is huge, but at the end of the day it still only directs you towards a single potential chase, and with the size of certain maps, you could very well just get jebaited. I think those 3 seconds would make all the difference in the world for this perk. I would actually drop Corrupt entirely if we could get those 3 seconds. I'll gladly let survivors do my gens if I can know where to go.

What do you guys think?

    I mean you need an early game perk to be competitive. That’s for sure. Otherwise the first gen can get done before you even find anyone and you are severely behind right off the bat.

    I think it’s fine where it is though, it’s definitely a viable alternative to corrupt if you are confident enough to down someone super quickly. Especially on killers like Ghostface / Billy you can literally down someone in the first 15 seconds of the game and get the snowball rolling before some survivors have even started their first gen.

    That might help cause it’s only active at the beginning but I feel it should have some additional effects like at the beginning you see the survivors auras for 10/11/12 seconds, gain the undetectable status effect for the duration and your movement speed is increased by 10%

    that would make it interesting

    That would make the perk really broken. I already use lethal in my current build and i feel really oppresive when i dont get the game or haddonfield.
