Bite the Bullet
A neat perk that just isn't quite there and doesn't see enough use. How would y'all feel about adding hiding you and the other survivors auras while actively healing as well?
EDIT: Sounds like people would prefer making it also block screaming and work for anyone healing you as well instead. This sounds more reasonable.

I mean have you seen Scott using it to basically heal right in the killers face and how often it worked? It is actually really interesting that people completely lose track of you like that when you stop making sounds... For that purpose it worked surprisingly well. As for mini distortion I don't know, aura reading is already not too strong compared to Gen regression or Gen block, adding more circumstances under which the perk won't work might just lead to even less usage of those perks.

Well, I think it will be good change, but don't ask killers not to bring 4 slowdown perks after this. My BBQ already barely useful with endless distortion, hiding 2 survivors with 1 perk will kill it completely.

Who is still running BBQ when ultimate weapon exists?

As long as we're discussing subpar healing perks, can we improve Better Than New as well? I think it should have the same percent bonus as Leader and affect the same things. Currently it doesn't effect unhook speed or exit gate speed.

I am for example, I didn't buy alien because of the overpriced set with cosmetics I didn't want.

Me. I don't like UW tbh. You always need to find lockers before and on some maps it's a big problem. It works mostly on high mobility killers, and on m1 killers you usually just have enough time to hide after screaming as survivor.
I'm not saying it's bad, just doesn't fit in my playstyle. I bring it on Oni and Blight sometimes, but rarely on someone else.

Dude it's only while healing. Why would we complain about this when Distortion exists?

Eh, I don't think this is a great idea.
Maybe just make it apply while other Survivors are healing you as well.

I just said why. I pretty often find survivors healing with BBQ. It's not rare at all when I see only 1 aura of survivor who is healing "nothing", because second survivor has Distortion or OTR. And this perk will hide both auras.
Once again, I'm not against this buff, I really love the idea and heard it many times, just don't expect killers will bring something except gen perks, since denying info will be that powerful.

Bite the Bullet could use a buff but i would rather have it be something else. We already strong anti aura read perks. I also don't like how this buff would trivialize A Nurse's Calling while being ineffective against Ultimate Weapon.
Maybe stopping screaming would be better. Counters a meta perk that is currently only countered by a sub bar perk.
BBQ is still good on killers with teleports or ranged attacks. Being able to detect survivors without warning is also nice.
I have been getting good value from it on the Unknown.

I mean that's basically meme's, that doesn't work on good killers. How often did stand still Iron Will work? Nearly never. You currently see this perk like once every few months maybe? If that.
As for more things hurting aura reading compared to gen perks that's a fine point, but what else would we give it then?

Screaming block while technically a buff, is nearly meaningless. That's so niche. That perk you're referencing is not meta. For how much people complain about it, it's basically never ran at all. What else could we give the perk that's meaningful?

And often do you get good killers? The point is though it worked for him quite often in normal matchmaking, so what exactly makes you think it would not work for others as well?
But yes of course it is quite the meme...

I think this perk should also work for others in range like leader. It’s really sad, that you aren‘t silent when being healed.

Or have it work like resilience when you heal someone to full

Or it could reduce the grunts of pain by 50% the next time they become injured (either until they become hooked or healthy, or expires after a time limit).
If a survivor starts the game healthy (new) and have normal grunts of pain when injured (without Iron Will), then it would make sense that "Better Than New" would mean the survivor is now more than healthy and should be less affected by an injury. 🤔

You bring up a good point about this change making A Nurse's Calling weaker while not affecting Ultimate Weapon...
Visualize the perk icon. It shows Leon with something in his mouth. That should dampen his screams...
What if Bite The Bullet also prevented you and the survivor you are healing from screaming?
Edit: I see you already suggested this.

That would be nice but I still think it needs a numbers buff and/or more actions affected. Currently it saves 1-2 seconds on healing, cleansing, blessing, or chest opening. 3/4 of those actions are usually a waste of time in the current game state.

Hide your aura can be strong, but I prefer that you don’t make a sound when you’re being healed by another survivor
