Spies From the Shadows Perk

How long until BHVR notice that Spies From the Shadows is a very good perk with a very low frequency of use just because explosions are so loud that it pollutes the ears of the killers?

A sugestion: Exchange the explosions for some smooth sound that can be perceived as the perk itself working and not some random really noise sound.

    I don’t really think any change is necessary. It shows a crow icon in the explosion bubble, and the perk goes on cooldown as well. So you know from these whether it was Spies or not.

    That perk have very low frequency of use because have cooldown making difficult to track survivors and becoming the perk useless, considering that the perk have only 36 metres of range I wouldn't consider OP at all if it didn't have cooldown, it would be only a good tracking perk in some situations, in fact the crows have a cooldown themselves (15 seconds for returning their place).

    Maybe one day they will notice the same thing the have noticed with Jolt (cooldown nonsense) and the perk even have a counter (Calm Spirit).

    No loud cawing, generally I would love to see more fitting sounds. not just the plain old explosion.wav for everything, spice things up a little

    you know, I wouldn't hate it if they did change up the notification sounds a bit. I don't mind the explosion, but it really is boring.

    Its a very niche perk, and there are better perks that do the same and more consistently. Cause u know, the killer also scares the birds, and takes a while before they spawn

    I always thought it should show the aura of crows red means gone then lightens to yellow then White based on respawn time. With them flying up to show you. In a larger range as well. If this was the case it would be a viable pick.

    Spies from the Shadows did not have a cooldown back then. And trust me, they most likely added the Cooldown so that people wont go insane when using it and not to nerf the Perk.

    It's okay perk that activates inconsistently. I say that with all the love in the world cause I love using it, it's one of my favorite unpopular perks. But it has its flaws.

    If they put something like a 4 second aura reading on it for the person that disturbed the crow, it'd be a lot better and more consistent.

    They should just make a special crow sound in that direction with the crow icon that already appears to make better aware that the perk is working and that is where a crow was alerted.

    Any noise not similar to a nuclear attack everytime someone disturb a crow.
