Give spirit a REAL mindgame with a simple change.

Let survivors see the hand animation that spirit does when charging up phase.

This seems like a mega nerf, but it really isnt. Spirits can just 99% the charge up then let go, making it seem like they are phasing but actually arent.

This will make it like when a bubba 1% a chainsaw rev then waits for a survivor to sprint into a locker so the bubba can just yoink them.

So let me ask you this, if you are at a loop and the pallet is already down and you see Spirit doing her janky hand movements because she's charging her phase, what do you do? I don't mean in general, I mean you personally in that moment what's your move?

Im not really a spirit player, but this'll break her like any "we can see it now"-nerf.

Shouldn't 99%'ing with spirir be the absolute most stupid thing to do? The blindness starts at 1% cast, and unlike the chainsaw bros she has to stand still.

She already is a real mind game. Too many streamers and youtubers misleading people with their videos.

I'd like the survivor to hear the spirit's footsteps as that glass breaking sound, so both survivor and spirit doing the same thing: trying to mindgame in the dark. You hear them, but can't see them. They're each invisible to each other.

You can already hear her footsteps and her breathing

while in phase she is invisible, undetectibe and doesn't move physics objects.

Any other method of tracking the Killer still works including:

• Non-aura perks (spine chill/premo)
• Breathing
• Footsteps
• Crows

I think survs are just confused that for once the broken sounds DONT work in their favor.

Don't they have expensive headphones?

(Lol)

only really works if they have prayer beads and you arent in her terror radius/in chase since the music is super loud.

I mean if i think the spirit is phasing at a pallet loop the first thing i do is break line of sight (if possible) then start walking. If i cant break line of sight, i just start running for a second then start walking, and hope to god that there isnt grass or wet ground near me (so she doesnt see/hear it.) Or some times i just walk a bit then stand still and hope to god she doesnt collide with me (i really only do this if i have broken LOS)

It always works.

It's not EASY and I certainly wouldn't rely purely on that, but the sound is there regardless.

the only time ive ever heard spirit's footsteps was when i was in KYF and my friend was using prayer breads on the Game map then ran past me while phasing. Its too inconsistent/rare/quiet to be a reliable strategy to avoid the spirit.

At most i want a something to tell me the spirit has started phasing, showing me her exact location is overkill and would break her kneecaps. And some addon changes.
