Visibility and anti tunneling measures

It's a nice touch from BHVR that they added visibility for the anti-camp bar to other survivors. It would also be great if they added something to show if someone has the Exposed status effect, or even a wiggle progress bar.

Regarding the recent anti-tunneling changes that BHVR planned but put on hold, I'd propose something like the old effects—maybe an Elusive status or longer Endurance once a teammate triggers the anti-camp mechanic and unhooks themselves

    Agreed. The more information solo Survivors have access to the better.It would be nice if Killer could see some (probably not all) of this information too, since there’s so many effects and sources of effects in the game at this point that it can be genuinely confusing: you hit an injured Survivor and sometimes nothing happens because they got Endurance from somewhere and you have no indication or explanation as to why, or a Survivor seems faster than normal but you’ve no clue if they’ve got haste, they’re cheating or you’re just hallucinating. Killers with a lot of experience can usually figure it out but for newer or more casual players it must be baffling.

    This would make perks that do these things kinda pointless though, wouldn't it. If you get a little Endurance symbol when someone recovers a slug becuase they had Soul Guard or WGLF you'll just not hit them until it's gone. Same if a killer is Undetectable. Survivors will be hyper vigilant until the symbol's gone. A whole big part of this game is figuring out your opponenets perks and countering them yourself.

    @ topic

    Though wiggle progress wouldn't be bad, at some point you run the risk of info overload.

    If a killer is close enough, long enough, to trigger the self-unhook then I doubt Elusive and extra Endurance would do much. They'll likely hit the survivor right off hook and they have LoS already. This would also need extended haste as well to work. But triggering the anti-camp is pretty rare amongst experienced killers anyway. If they're camping, they likely know to stay out of the range anyway. And an experienced survivor will know not to self-unhook in the killer's face until the last second.

    They should have just tried Elusive post unhook in general. I'm still baffled as to why they couldn't try one single idea.
