Dead teammate applies Vigil??

dead teammates who run vigil still apply the effect if you go near their dead body. is it supposed to do this? i thought shared perks stopped working once the person running the perk was fully dead.

clips showing what i'm talking about:

for these videos, i added summaries. basically, just pay attention to the perks that are being run + the vigil effect being applied.

here's a clip of the public game i noticed it in:

summary of clip:

  • i die while running vigil
  • nancy runs near my dead body and gets my vigil effect
  • i check all three teammates: nancy, alan wake, and sable. nobody else is running vigil
  • i can see the vigil effect timing out on nancy because she left my range

and then, a clip of the private game i tested it in:

summary of clip:

  • bot running vigil is killed. i wait for the death animation to complete & hatch to open
  • i run towards the hook and have vigil applied to me
  • i run out of range and let vigil time out. i run into the hook range again and it is applied to me again
  • i run out of range and let vigil time out again

note: the entire time i have the visible "vigil" effect applied, my exhaustion recovers accordingly. at the beginning and the end of the clip you can compare the recovery speeds, it's definitely actually applying vigil
