Please extend Reassurance range to match Kindred range

Currently, although some players are able to make use of Reassurance, the 6 meter range limit largely defeats the entire point of the perk.

In most instances, if you're within 6 meters of a hooked survivor, you might as well just go for the rescue.

Also, it's a no-brainer that you shouldn't have to go partway down the basement stairs in order to be able to activate this perk on a survivor hooked in the basement.

Extending the range of Reassurance would synergize beautifully with Kindred and allow Reassurance the full utility it deserves.

  • Reassurance is already an s-tier perk. Tradeoff is that you have to give the killer another target instead of stealthing around the hook.

    The point of the perk is that it's supposed to discourage face camping, not camping in general. It's tended for a survivor to be very close to the hooked survivor, to offer the killer a different target instead of face camping.

    idk. i use reassurance when i sprint up to the hook, realize too late my teammate is being camped, reassure the teammate, then run off with the killer on my tail.

    edit

    OR

    if they're near a generator i reassure them, work the generator for a bit (or cleanse a totem if possible) then unhook them. because a survivor on a hook is safer than one running around getting slugged.
