Gotta love that reassurance is utterly useless for a basement hook

u might as well go for the rescue in that case

When Reassurance is an anti-camping-perk why can't we use it on the top floor of the basement to stop (time slowdown) camping downstairs? It can't be you have to go downstairs right into Bubba's arms or getting fully stalked by a Ghostface leaning against the wall just to even activate it.

For me it makes no sense that Reassurance works on multiple floors on maps like Midwich, The Game and RPD but doesn't work when you're on top of the basement. Imagine Reassurance like a 4m bubble around the hook, but the basement is like 4,2m high?

This is so accurate, I am tempted to create a few Multi-Accounts to like it more than once.

Ban-dy on the prowl T_T

I mean, you name it - it is a Perk which might find use in an SWF. But if you are Solo (or I would even say, anything below 3 person SWF), the usage is really limited and not really worth to pick.

I mean I think thats reassurance main issue, since it could be a help for solos getting camped, but OG reassurance against people who actually know how to play would be hell, they could just pause the timer and use the hook timer + reassurance as a safe time to do gens, making getting a hook a punishment for the killer rather than a reward.

However since even the top 5% of the "best" survivors somehow manage to die to a meme killer like sadako, imo these teams who know how to play and hence use reassurance to its max potential could be counted with your hands, yet they nerfed it.

People are so keen is seeing the problems perks can cause on good players, when they failed to realize the average player does not know how to play.

If it could be used unlimited times swf could just abuse it using kindred and open-handed to get 24/7 aura reading on the killer at all times like old object of obsession, but in a zone. Easily making areas into unmindgameable tiles where the survivor can waste exceedingly amount of times because even when they do moonwalking or any fancy nonsense it doesn't stop aura reading its ridiculously easy to loop tiles when you see the killers aura basically like an open tile. So good luck huntress if you are on a high tile that you need to mindgame to get a hit you are going to have to run around that loop 10 times to get bloodlust 3 or simply leave making it all just a waste of time.

That is just one possible combo that could be done not only that, but it could potentially be used as a troll perk, but I think that could be easily fixed by allowing someone to give up or get rid of the effect. People like to throw shade on kindred and open-handed. Still, it's easily the most useful information perk survivors have to offer, and the best part is on small maps it can literally be a free object without needing other survivors to be revealed.

On a map like midwich people could easily abuse this by standing under the hooked survivor, and honestly, the aura revealing is massive, absolutely massive 32 meters, in fact, nearly half the map on a map like midwich. Yeah, it may be a few maps that this could be abused, but it's similar to boil over, where it was awful, and bully squads would abuse the heck out of it.

You might not care about this, but many others do making reassurance infinite would be the worst thing ever cause of just how abusable it could be in certain situations just like boil over. Like, I was joking with my swf when I showed them kindred open-handed the first time on a small map like what if I brought reassurance and just made them into a motion detector lol and honestly, it may not be busted with the current reassurance, but old reassurance it could have been overpowered as all heck to all, but stealth killers.

I would say reassurance should be buffed by x meters to the point where a survivor can stand above the hooked survivor in the basement and be able to activate reassurance. However, basements differ and some basements like the one in the main building on the Eyrie of Crows for example would require extra range for reassurance to activate, as there is stairs above it, thus elevating the survivor. Same with the basement in Thompson House, etc.

So the Devs should keep Reassurance at 6m, but make it so it does not factor in the elevated distance the survivor is away from the hooked survivor.

Also, buff reassurance so it can be used on both stages of the hook without needing to unhook the survivor and it will be a perfect anti-camp perk.

I always use Reassurance and I often get value out of it. Instead of attempting a solo save, it gives my teammates time to make it to the hook after they've finished healing. Or gives us time to open an exit gate and then save. I can spend extra time finishing a gen before heading off for the unhook. It gives the team more crucial time to setup the bodyblock's needed so 1 can bodyblock whilst the other one unhooks, safely from the killers grab. Even now it's a very good perk, but it should be buffed slightly so it can be activated above basement and used twice on one hook without needing to unhook.

It's only 0 risk if the killer chooses to sit in the basement, and that's their fault isn't it?

I differ in the part of "you just have to chase and doen one", thats were the ddifference is between a good player and a bad one, a good player will not get downed outside of a deadzone by anything less than blight/nurse, if we are talking a bad player, you are right on every aspect, as they will go down to even a trapper or a sadako, but against good players that just down them doesn't work unless you are blight/nurse.

Killers stand on stairs and then it's basically guaranteed death, and you don't even get to freeze the timer, but please, carry on, lmao.
