Object of Obsession buff + new effect

For how risky OoO is to run, OoO should affect all action speeds. Right now, it only benefits repairing, healing, and cleansing speeds - and that for just a few short seconds at a time. It should also affect everything else that Spine Chill and Resilience do: vaulting speeds, and opening chests and exit gates, and also blessing totems (which SC and Resilience currently don't, but should in my opinion).

I think it would also be neat if OoO also changed you to be the obsession if the obsession dies, since so much of the perk's utility relies on that condition.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

    I don't think this would make it much better at all, Object doesn't activate often enough for the speed boost to be significant.

    Instead, what I think they should do is have the aura reading timer effect not be linked to the obsession, having the effect that separates the perk from other info perks be tied to an RNG mechanic isn't fun at all. Reducing the timer to 15 seconds would also improve the perk a lot, and would solve the issue of the perk not activating enough to be worth the downside of the killer seeing your aura.

    The obsession mechanic could be tied to the speed boost instead, with everyone running the perk getting the passive aura reading and only the obsession getting the 6% speed boost whenever the perk activated. If this was buffed to include the rest of the actions you suggested, that would still give the obsession a pretty decent advantage over non-obsession survivors running the perk.

    Currently Object is super underwhelming compared to the rest of the info perks (and most other perks by extension), and it could really use some love.
