Allows you to know the location of all injured survivors and the killers location also,if a survivor gets injured during a Chase. Also if you are against killers that is a good idea not to heal,empathy becomes an unlimited range bond.

Do you use it? Let me know down below.

    Bond is significantly better, as it gives you constant and consistent information. I used to use empathy, in a time long past, before I had teachables.

    Now, it's really only useful if you're doing a Mettle of Man quest, or flashlight saves, or an Autodidact quest.

    I see the merit to both (Plague especially) but I prefer using Bond. I enjoy Bond because not only do i get to see teammates and what they are doing but I can also factor in their aura behavior to mean other things.

    Example: I can see Dwight is slowly crouching around a rock, maybe the killer is near with no TR, maybe he sees the killer coming towards him, maybe he is a potato.

    Its more so I can be entertained while holding M1.

    I love the map wide auras on empty. But bond probably is the betrer perk. I still like empthy better though.

    I use Empathy its a nice perk to know where the chase ended/happened or is currently happening. I use Bond too but tye range is what Empathy has going for it in my opinion.

    I love using empathy as a solo survivor. You can watch people who are getting chased and have a good idea of where the killer is. It also makes it easier to use healing builds. Both bond and empathy are equally worth taking in my opinion, especially if you're playing solo.

    I was/am using it for the Not Today and Body Guard achievements. It's been very useful.

    Also since I play solo it provides a ton of info.

    I personly prefer empathy over bond because i find the range on bond to be really limited
