Option to Turn off Chase Music
Can and should there be an option to turn off chase music? Or at least make it where when I start my phase as Spirit the chase music cuts off instantly? Please ❤️

The entire point of the chase music from the killer's POV is to mask some the survivor's lighter sounds, otherwise tracking survivors mid-chase would be way too easy.

Absolutely not.

I’m not surprised a spirit player is saying this lmao. I mean I would be fine with it as long as spirit and nurse get a nerf in the same patch.

I don't think that would be necessary, tracking is already a skill that killer players have to develop using all the things they are given (blood, scratch marks, sound). I feel like removing chase music would make it too easy to track and find survivors. If you listen closely enough you can still here steps and breaths fine with music playing.
That would probably be a decent buff for a killer like Spirit, but definitely not needed.

Not a good idea. Sorry

Unfortunately, the devs actually use the chase music to balance the game. (This isn't a guess, they have outright stated this.) That means players will continue to get their eardrums blown out if they try to have the volume loud enough to hear those nearly silent footsteps. I gave up trying to use sound to track anyone years ago, I've always found directional audio in this game to be absolutely useless, especially with BHVR's nonsensical audio occlusion. God forbid I think I hear the hatch or injured survivor, I go in a circle and somehow end up looking in the wrong direction every time.
Other games are designed in a manner where the music is optional and players are allowed to turn it off if they feel it's interfering with their ability to hear useful sounds. That's not the case with DbD, where a large number of the killers get washing machine screeches as chase music just to make sure it's loud and obnoxious enough to drown out the audio players want to hear.
