What do you think about darkness revealed?

I think it’s totally overpowered. And paired with lethal pursuer you see all surv for 7 secs every 30 secs

    It's a fun perk and probably wouldn't be overpowered if Nurse didn't exist.

    Very map dependent.

    OP on Midwich and Gideon, maybe RPD too.

    Virtually useless on Swamp and Coldwind.

    I only use it on Trickster and Huntress. Maybe Dredge.

    Solid perk, too map dependent to be considered OP.

    Well, at some point you'll probably be forced to get near a locker or two, but you can be mindful of them.

    To me, the map variance is the limitation that makes it balanced. If you're on The Game or Midwich, you're probably gonna see at least a surv or two when you use it. On a map like Coldwind, you'll be lucky to get any value. And on top of that it's kind of a roll of the dice that at the moment you use it, a surv or survs will be close to a locker.

    I like using it with Lethal Pursuer, with killers who naturally check lockers, so Huntress, Trickster and sometimes Dredge.

    I like it, not the most reliable perk but it works often enough.

    8 meters is fine, especially with a cooldown of 30 seconds. Here's an example showing how far 8 meters is.

    I definitely think it's strong, but it's definitely not OP.

    The killer seeing your aura is mostly pointless if they can't get to you, and even if you're quite close, the aura doesn't last long enough (even with Lethal Pursuer) for it to be active during the chase. So, it really just gives the killer some direction towards where they need to go to start a chase.

    Plus, on some maps it's barely useful at all. Pretty RNG.

    It's a good perk. Sometimes I find myself in periods where I just don't know where anyone is, and can only do my best guess. 'Oh well this person was unhooked so they probably hid here... this would be the next closest generator. I chased someone off a gen at 30% like 20 seconds ago they might be back, could be hiding...'

    Then I turn, open a locker, and instead of guess and check with the potential to miss someone playing immersion I just beeline to someone.

    Sometimes it doesn't work, but it does often enough that it's game changing.

    Meh.

    Consistent value on a few Maps, and usually inconsistent/useless on a lot more Maps.


    Also, Darkness Revealed? Dictep, we all know you aren't the brightest, but to stoop this low?

  • Araphex

    It's not even great on the Dredge and it's... its? perk. Huntress and Trickster are definitely the only 2 that get value out of it.

    They're either working together or dictep is Sluzzy's minion. There's no way in hell dictep overthrows Sluzzy

    It's best on Huntress (and Trickster I suppose, but I don't like acknowledging him), but I think that Dredge gets good value, and to a lesser degree Sadako and maybe even the corpse of Freddy (killers who can TP cross map).

    Great Perk on fast Killer like Sadako, Dredge , Blight but also very playable on Artist , Trickster or Huntress :)

    But still there are better perks in the Game so Not OP but it looks like since the new Update every Killer Perk is OP for Survivor

    Please don't let this perk be touched. It'll be the next Thana.

    I don't like going out of my way to check lockers to activate it, but it's pretty good on Huntress and Trickster since you're checking lockers anyway.

    For finding survivors quickly, it's better than BBQ and Retribution, but worse than Floods of Rage and Lethal Pursuer.
