Ok, Can BHVR please rework Insidious so it can't be used as a camping perk? I know it's been in the game for awhile now and it's still being used for nothing but camping. Maybe change the effect to reduce terror radius rather than completely getting rid of it.

Another suggestion- Change the requirement to activate it that way the killer has to actually earn it. Possibly make it so the killer has to have a certain amount of hooks or hits on a survivor to use it. Also add a duration to how long the perk can be active.

The only other thing I can think of is to remove the perk from the game completely. Ruin is a balanced perk as it keeps killers from being gen rushed in the few minutes of the match. No One Escapes Death is annoying, but it can be dealt with through cleansing. Ebony mori just needs its requirement changed to require a killer to hook everyone before anyone can be moried. Ivory and Cypress memento mories are fine as they are just single person kills.

Anyone else have any ideas as to how Insidious should get reworked?

    It's fine atm. No one uses it and with more disadvantages to it, why should i even consider using it?

    Ah, the good old classic.

    I mean, OhTofu once made a video if you can use Insidious for other things than Hook Camping. He came to the conclusion that it is not possible.

    And well; Insidious is the only Killer Perk I would like to change personally. It simply promotes unhealthy and boring gameplay, the gameplay is also boring for the Killer, they just enjoy the Survivors in the Postgame Chat.

    But well, until they finally rework this Perk (IF this happens at all), just leave the Match once you are dead and dont give the Killer the Salt he wants.

    It really needs a full rework. But in the meantime...just make it so that it can't activate within X meters of a hooked survivor?

    Can't remove Insidious: players are gonna need it for the upcoming Archive Challenges.

    One of the challenges the devs created is to sacrifice four survivors in the basement in one match. When that goes live, expect to see a lot of Insidious Basement-Camping Bubbas.

    Yeah, it's one of the perks I absolutely refuse to use when I play killer. I would also much rather get hit with noed than an insidious camper. I've only seen it in ranks 15-20 though, so I only really have to worry about it if the killer is low rank or on rank reset.

    Insidious should work only while in chase... if in a chase, after the first blood lust, your Terror Radius is reduced to 0.


    It would give Beast of the Prey more synergy/use for a thematic build.
