about Spirit Furin add-on

I am learning Spirit atm, and wondering if I am missing something about the Furin (purple) add-on.

It says "causes all Survivors to hear the Phase-Walk Sound cue" , however what would it matter to the survivors since they know unless it gets directional (ie within 24 meters) they won't have to worry.

If anything, Furin lets survivors know she's NOT within 24 meters of them when she's chasing across the map.

    Well before the mdr nerf you unironically had so little time to react to the sound cue that it made the addon really annoying but idk now, i haven't seen a spirit in a while

    The furin add-on makes it so,that every player out of the spirit terror radius (24 metres) gets to hear the phasing sound (not directional),but if you start phasing while a player is in the terror radius,that player will hear everything normal (directional sound cue etc).

    The trick about this add on,is that the directional phase sound muffle can be used to mind game survivors and take them by surprise,because,while it's true,that a player in the spirit terror radius gets still to hear the direction where she is coming from, a player wich is outside of it,will no be able to discern it still.

    I hope I explained it correctly,because english is not my first language,so forgive me if it looked too complex.

    So,basically,in a few words,if you,as a spirit,know that a survivor player is in a certain spot far from you (maybe working on a generator outside of your 24 m terror radius),if you start phasing and go near the player, that survivor will still not be able to hear the direction where you are coming from and you will scare the soul out of him/her ahahahahaha.

    Edit:

    Further notes,I don't know if the add-on can be used in sinergy with perks that restricts the terror radius or if it is just a fixed value of 24 metres no matter how.

    Thanks. I think they changed it.

    I tested it with my friends. It definitely does not work with terror radius perks (undetectable/oblivious). They could hear the direction. I think we also tried phasing outside 24 meters and getting close, and they could still hear direction when I get close.

    I'll do more tests about outside 24meters to inside while phasing to make sure.

    Wait,was it really changed? There is no point in using it now then,I wonder if it is intended or a bug.

    Was it changed in the recent duration add ons patch?

    Yes, it is intended and was changed in a patch in February apparently.

    So pretty much current Furin is functionally a meme add-on, that potentially helps survivors more than killer.

    I completely missed this change then,another add-on to add to the memes list just like all the duration ones.

    Charge+recharge+speed etc add-ons is the way now I guess.

    I'm not a big fan of what they did to this character,I could swear something changed on the audio side too,as,many times it happened,that when you are phasing towards an hurt survivor for example,the noises of pain are not correctly played or intermittent (you could hear the noises near you,but the survivor is much way ahead of you),or the footseps sounds could not happen at all.

    I understand what you mean about surv noise distance not being consistent to Spirit. Like sometimes I am pretty sure they're right next to me, and I phase out to find out they're actually a few meters away. But because I am still new to Spirit, I am not sure if it's just from my lack of experience on her or if it's a bug.
