Can someone please explain Mettle of Man for me?
After you earn 3 Protection Hit Score Events, Mettle of Man activates.
Once activated, the next occasion that would put you into the Dying State from the Injured State is ignored.
The next time you heal back to full health, your Aura will be revealed to the Killer when you are farther than 12/14/16 meters from the Killer.
Mettle of Man will deactivate the next time you are put into the Dying State.
That the description. I've read it multiple times but I still don't understand it. Okay, I understand that after 3 protection hits you'll get the Endurance status effect. But the "The next time you heal back to full health, your Aura will be revealed to the Killer when you are farther than 12/14/16 meters from the Killer" thing I don't.
Why is your aura revealed to the killer and for how long?

Permanently, whenever you are more than 16 meters away (at Tier 3).
For why this is the case - this is a relict from old Mettle of Man. It is basically a Cashgrab, was released way too strong in a Only-Survivor-Paragraph (there needs to be an incentive for people to buy it). In its original state it was only useable once and it only required 3 Basic Attacks to activate. They nerfed it a little bit later, but the Aura Read stayed (this was the biggest Drawback back then).
Aura Read could be removed nowadays, the Perk is not strong at all.
Once mettle of mans effect triggers it enters and you heal to full it enters an "active state" until you go into the dying state you aura is revealed to the killer when outside of the radius. after that the perk deactivates again
Its like a cycle
it starts deactivated, gets primed with hits, is ready to be used then after a hit is ignored and you heal it becomes "active" until you enter the dying state, at this point you can use the perk again if you get 3 more protection hits
No, until you are downed.
Tbh with possibly new OoO changes coming, the aura reading part might become a really fun combo aspect of it.
I'd rather if it stayed and MoM got possibly buffed in some other way. Like 2 protection hits and 1 safe unhook to procc the endurance effect maybe.
I only focussed on the part which OP did not understand. I guess they knew that the Aura Read will stop when they are downed.
Now the killer can see you.
Now the killer can't see you until you follow the first 3 steps again.
You do nothing during the match and you allow the killer to hit you 3 times so at the end of the game you have a free hit and probably depip and no one escape because you were doing nothing during the match.
Once you used the Endurance Status Effect and successfully ignored a hit that wouldve put you into the dying state from injured, the next time you are fully healed the Killer can see your aura from all over the map as as he's 16 meters away from you.
Once you get downed after successfully using Mettle of Men, it deactivates. The Killer can't read your aura anymore and you can try to activate it again.
This is the price for ignoring hits. You can play around that, if you have the options to, either a) just stay injured or b) heal yourself 99% and fully heal once you get in a chase.
If you ask me if I could change all those flashlight savers wannabes to sabo/MoM safers. Works way better
I think the aura read is still a fair trade off. Despite earning the 3 tokens, being hit by the killer is still essentially a chase that would have otherwise been lost. If the survivor chooses to heal, this be 2 hit state again, the killer should get a chance at retribution
The Killer got 3 Healthstates for free before tho. You basically have to throw the game to make MoM work.
