I'm starting to think Camaraderie is underrated.

I was playing with friends last night and we ran into a bunch of killers camping and proxy camping the hook. While I find it annoying I'm not really mad if the killer decides to do it. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't try and prevent it. So I took Camaraderie and it helps a lot. If ik being camped I can buy my team more time to do what they can. I think in today's climate it's underrated. Still wish it was buffed but what do you think?

    The issue is ultimately it's not really useful as a solo because you need other people who know you have it to give you the most benefit of the paused timer.

    It honestly needs a buff, to where the user can extend everyone elses hook timers as well

    The two big problems with Camaraderie is how you basically need a SWF to use it since nobody will know that you have it so that you can use it, and that the name was changed to something worse.

    Camaraderie is iconic, even if it's a unusual word that is hard to spell. I dunno why it was changed! :(

    ... Jokes aside, nobody will know that you have it, and nobody will be looking at your hook timer when they get close enough to you, they're going to be looking everywhere else for the Killer, traps, etc.

    Of course, if there was stuff to let you know that you had it, Camaraderie might become completely broken because of the amount of time it gives...

    I stopped reading after "playing with friends".

    Joshing, but yeah this perk needs to be buffed. It should:

    • Notify other survivors it is in play
    • Work for both hook states
    • Have a timer that is dependent on the killer's proximity to the hook - not other survivors

    It should just work, without needing anyone to be close by.

    I was thinking that with the struggle phase change, Camaraderie could be tied to Activate Ability or secondary action. Would be very easy to activate in between skill checks.

    "I was playing with friends"

    Well, I see why you think this perk is good.

    Camaraderie / Kinship is doo-doo in solo. It, along with many other perks, needs to be shown to fellow survivors for "teamwork" to be releveant and for these perks to get any value. Here's an idea to help improve teamwork capability for solos without giving SWF much more than they already have with comms.

    I run it purely for the factor of buying my teammates more time if the killer decides to camp me to death. I also like imagining the look on the Killer's face when I'm still on 2nd stage after so long

    You can kill me, but you're gonna have to wait an extra 34 seconds sorry :^)

    If they would change it to work on the killer's proximity rather than another survivor it would be pretty solid and would give solo queue survivors a great tool to deal with camping.

    But in its current state it's too situational to use (requires other survivors to know you have it, requires you to be on second hook state, needs other survivors to play around it/activate it, and the killer to be camping to get value).

    I love it when someone runs that perk to make my victim suffer for a longer time while not doing gens, it is a win-win and I wish more people did it.

    It's got the same issue as a bunch of perks in this game; it's so situational that you can go multiple games with basically playing three perks as it never makes an impact

    When it does come in handy, it REALLY comes in handy. But most people won't trade off the nine games where it does nothing for that one game where it might save a game.

    They don't have to stay in the range. All they have to do is get close enough for a split second and it'll pause the timer for 34 seconds.

    Oh, really? Well, then it is a win-neutral situation. I am partially glad when someone uses it.

    100% agree. I’m trying to put together the following build for Lori, but haven’t had enough BP yet: Camaraderie, Decisive Strike, Kindred, & Breakdown.
