Ultimate Weapon is a Problem (But There's a Solution)
As someone who mostly spends time playing Killer, this Perk is absolutely too busted in its current state. Its ability to track Survivors is completely unmatched by other Killer Tracking Perks and its only counter is a Perk that makes Survivors worse in the long run.
The game effectively turns into easy mode with this Perk active and depending on the Killer Power or the Perks, you can end up forcing Survivors to reveal their location instantly and apply a 30 second Blindness effect, all for a 30 second cooldown.
If I were y'all, I'd change the perk's effect to be this:
- After opening a Locker, Ultimate Weapon activates for 30 seconds:
- The first Survivor to enter your Terror Radius will scream and reveal their location to you.
- Once that Survivor screams, your next basic attack will receive a 25% cooldown reduction if successful. This benefit does not expire when Ultimate Weapon deactivates.
- Ultimate Weapon has a cooldown of 50/40/30 seconds after the Survivor screams or its duration ends.
This way the Perk can still remain a tracking perk, but not to the severe extent its current version is. And to compensate, it now has an effect that gives all Killers increased chase potential in the form of cooldown reduction on hit.

Did you just say you want to buff an info perk so it stacks with Rapid Brutality, and Save the Best for Last?
Why would you do that?
Also, how is a survivor having a negative chest and totem interaction speed a bad thing? One of those no one use, the other causes your team mates to suicide on hook.
In all seriousness, isn't it easier to just run for a comfortable loop when Ultimate Weapon procs on you? The other survivors can secure the unhook.

tracking does not instantly win you the match as killer. in term of raw detection in finding a survivor, it is unmatched but in term of giving precise information, nowhere to hide and bbq are not too far in terms of tracking perks compare this tracking perk. they show aura and often survivor will not know that their location has been revealed. furthermore, you can be tracked all game as survivor but as long you are successful at looping killer, it is still possible to finish generators and escape.
another aspect to note is that the perk does have drawbacks. survivor screams immediately revealing their location meaning they know that they have been detected unlike aura perk that do not tell survivor that they're being revealed. it has 30 second activation window and 30 second cooldown. if you add cooldown and activation window, ultimate weapon has total cooldown of 60 seconds. the 60 cooldown is because survivors only scream once in the activation window. Calm spirit does counter the perk.
your suggestion to give it 5 stacks of stbfl which stacks with other perks of corresponding type is potentially too much stacking of same effect. with that much attack cooldown reduction, it becomes near instant down for the survivor for how quick you would recover.
