I have to use Shadowborn level 2/3 without getting nauseous.

I was curious on anyone's thoughts on the matter and if anyone has the same problem I would love to hear your opinions!

I am a PC Wraith main that has owned the game since around 2017 and I never got into it until recently because I just didn't like the feel of the game because it made me nauseous when doing fast actions. I found out that it was due to the lower FOV when I saw how incredible the game felt and that I no longer got sick whenever I had at least level 2 Shadowborn and it changed my life. Now that I'm a red rank and I have to run better perks to keep myself from pulling out my hair every game, I find it difficult to lose out on a more effective perk that everyone else gets the privilege of using because I have to use this perk to even play the game. I made the mistake of using Bubba when I first got him (so I could get BBQ) and I forgot I didn't have Shadowborn, I found out that was a massive mistake, to say the least, the second I used his chainsaw. I had to M1 the rest of the match and take a break after because it was just terrible for me.

I even put off buying Blight until I could save up enough BP to level him up and the fact that it took until level 32 to even get level 1 Shadowborn now that I have so many perks unlocked to get in the Bloodweb, I now have to go grind more to MAYBE get level 2 hopefully soon just to play him. It's just discouraging to get new killers and I just won't be able to even prestige my characters without saving up a load of BP and pray I get it early on or that killer will just be barred off for me until I get lucky again. I just hope a dev reads this and take into consideration other people in my circumstance and how many players they would bring in and keep with a change as seemingly small like this. I tried to switch to level 3 Monitor but that doesn't even cut it because most fast actions happen in chases so I'm still in a hard place. I saw an Otz video showing the tiers of every perk and I wanted his opinion on Shadowborn and he even mentioned the fact that others really need the perk to play also, and it made me feel a lot better about my situation honestly, but I think it would just be healthy to the game if everyone got an FOV slider.

I don't even enjoy playing Wraith anymore in red rank 1 because I don't have that extra perk slot to apply pressure with an extra gen regression or aura perk to help him out since hit and run style is much harder when I run into a circle of healing every other game. I try and hook people at least two times so everyone has fun in the match and I don't tunnel or camp but it's just getting hard to get above a 2k with him half the time without feeling scummy and ruining at least one persons fun.


Thanks for taking the time to read my book and most likely terrible grammar <3


Just a screenshot I took about an hour ago, because why not, showing when I unlocked tier 1 finally at level 32:
