Bite The Bullet should hide auras.
Just used this perk and it was countered hard by A Nurse's Calling. It feels so unfair that a perk this niche has a counter this hard.
Before you say "Just use Distortion". A Nurse's calling reveals auras of survivors who are healing AND being healed. And in solo queue you have no way of knowing if a team mate has distortion.

You saw someone running Nurses Calling? Damn, that's pretty rare not gona lie. No one using this perk nowdays even tho it's still pretty decent perk, just outclassed by many others.
I don't think it needs such buff. It's just unlucky situation that happend to you that someone even used this perk. Also lets nerf Nurse calling, shall we?
Back in early 2018, A Nurse's Calling felt like one of the best killer perks. Probably the second best information perk.
How things have changed...
I dunno, man, Bite the Bullet is a pretty damn good perk so I'm not sure if it's wise to start buffing it necessarily.
Besides, it's countered by any other source of tracking too. You'll be revealed by any aura perk, you'll still trigger Killer Instinct, heck, I think you even still scream if you're facing Doctor or someone running Infectious Fright.
Agreed buckle up and bite the bullet are too OP. Please nerf /s
Dude, Bite the Bullet isn't even close to Buckle Up, it's legitimately pretty good.
Even outside of using it in the "instantly break chase" build, it's better than people give it credit for.
There are already perk options to hide your aura. Bite the Bullet does not need to do everything as it's already got a really good effect.
The only buff I would say Bite the Bullet could use is to work regardless of which participant is doing the healing. It is kinda strange that when you heal someone else they are quiet, but then when they are healing, your survivor screams their guts out. It doesn't even need that, I just think it would make it a good QoL change.
Also with Off the Record being meta atm, there is an abundance of aura shrouding. It kinda is disheartening as killer to run a full aura build, and getting almost punished if you are too effective. With 80s Aura block you can often run into 2 overlapping OTRs on healthy people without even trying. It makes it almost better to run slowdowns instead of intel perks, so we have enough aura blocking features at the moment.
That's different. You know when your survivor screams and only powers can trigger killer instinct so you should always be able to predict them.
Using BTB and still getting found by the killer and not know if they have ANC is very frustrating.
The perk is barely used for a reason y'know. Before it was because iron will was way better and right now it's probably because it's not good on it's own anyways and Off The Record is still better than it.
Absolutely not. It would legitimately kill A Nurse’s Calling, which is already a niche and seldom seen perk. Run Distortion with it if you want to hide your aura too.

Well, BHVR needs to fix the game lobby and show teammate perks beforehand. These two perks are fine as they are though. This issue extends well beyond them.
Then use Boon: Shadow Step.
You have options to deal with aura reading. Bite The Bullet doesn't need to do everything. Making both injured and the sound of healing completely silent is a strong effect as is.
Bite The Bullet doesn't need to do everything but i guess it's totally fine that meta perks like Off The Record and Circle of Healing can:)
If this is such a fine perk why is no one using it? "Because people don't want to try it/they are bad" is not acceptable answer
Sounds like to me everyone in this comment section is disagreeing for the sake of it.
Circle of Healing still gets complained about for being too good of a perk.
OTR works twice a match and has a limited duration to it. Not to mention that the perk doesn't work once all the gens are done.
There's a ton of perks in the game. It would be a problem if Bite The Bullet was so good that everyone was running it. Especially after an update the devs did to reduce the power of meta perks so that perk diversity would be better.
Survivors get 16 perks, killers get 4 perks. You're complaining that Nurse's Calling countered Bite the Bullet, and are suggesting that Bite the Bullet should counter Nurse's Calling instead.
This is clearly unfair - the killer gets 4x less perks than survivors. In situations where one perk has to trump another, the killer perk should clearly take priority in most cases.
People still run Nurse’s Calling, it’s got about the same 9% or so usage as before the rework on the stat site I follow.
If I see btb in my lobby I know that the person running it is just trolling. The perk is really as good as buckle up (that one at least shows you killer aura so you don't run at him). You never want to heal next to killer and if that's not the case, then you get 0 value out of it.
You can buff/nerf it however you want, you will still see 0 usage of it (except perk rulet or troll/fun builds).
But sure. Leave it as it is. We need some perks to be able to make meme builds 🙂 I am just surprised anyone can call effect from this perk good. But that's probably just killers that never used the perk 🙂
In this age of booning, people heal massively, so A Nurse's Calling is a very good perk, better than a year ago.
That's not quite true. While survivors are healing more, they are also healing faster. Unless you are a very mobile killer who can move quickly around the map, you often don't get close enough for nurse's to go off before the heal is finished.
And for mobile killers like Blight, well there's better perks for them to run besides Nurses.
