Wake Up new buff makes its other effect worse.

Wake Up is a perk designed around Exit Gates and late game and has many effects. Here is the description on the LIVE version.

The perk has never been very strong, so it is getting a buff with the new Freddy rework:

It is a VERY nice buff, but it kinda makes one of the other effects worse.

How? Well, by opening the gates faster, your allies have even less time to see and react to where you are when you open them.

Here is a comparison between opening times.

I know not many people care about this specific effect, but I think that all perks should work in full when you are able to use them in a game. I don't think it is good design when an entire effect of a perk can be or is ignored.

So, my suggestion of a change is:

→ Once the Exit gates are powered, Wake Up! reveals your aura to all Survivors within 128 metres.

Thank you for reading! :)

    Honestly, it'd be better if it highlighted the Exit Gates permanently to your team once you interact with them yourself.

    Your idea isn't necessarily bad, I just think it's more on brand because the current effect is designed to reveal the gates themselves more than your own aura.
