"Boon : illumination" Is a nice concept that could be useful for soloQ and not for SWFs (premade on comms) and it's nice to see another Boon perk joining in.

However I think it's too weak in it's current state.

Buff Idea : the perk could show the aura of all other survivors Map wide on top of the existing effect with a lingering effect of let's Say 5 seconds. It Would be great for coordination as a solo Q player.

    I agree that illumination is not a strong perk and probably won't be used much. When it comes down to finding generators everyone would prefer déja vu. However I don't think seeing where other survivors are is worth the effort to reach for the boon.

    I think it would be more interesting to show the aura of the killer to the survivors if hes inside the boon just like wiretap.

    Maybe the aura of the generators could be colored depending on how much progress they have also it could have the secondary effect of showing the killers aura to all survivors for 5 seconds after placing a boon and after the killer shuts it down so it could be paired with COF or another boon perk

    or maybe making that the chest inside the boon drop new altered version of regular items like flashlights that can be recharged by doing gens (since its light themed) or Toolboxes that spawns new skill checks different from the normal one we already have or perhaps keys that can create new 1 time use pallets like in the anniversary event or maybe maps that give the player alucinations like the illusory footfalls of chucky or fake terror radius/holograms/pallets like the one that tier 3 madness gives to survivors but in exchange see more thing than normal maps

    something that makes chest actual threats instead of being the 5th killer perk that makes survivors not focus on generators

    (these items would be left behind when exiting by any means like the flashbangs)
