Residual Manifest Rework

Currently, residual manifest mainly leads to a gamethrowing amount of timewaste leading to there never being a reason to run it, and not really giving you any reason either to not just bring the strongest flashlight into the game from the start. This rework will make it a real useful perk and allow it to be a staple in the subgenre in which it is used ❤️

REWORK:
After seeing the killer for a total of 30 seconds while your hands are empty, gain a flashlight of a random rarity. After that, this perk disables. Only gains charges when your hands are empty. The perk starts with 5 charges and cannot be triggered more often than that.

If you get flashlight saved, the perk reactivates.

WHY THIS REWORK?
Because this perk actually allows it to truly be used for the subgenre it is meant to serve. The 30 second stare requirement creates periods where the survivor has no flashlights and gives killers some help in spotting that they are being followed, especially on indoor maps where having this LOS might be harder to obtain initially.

But if it's used well, and even in conjunction with other players, it can create amazing moments where players are getting lots of value out of the perk. But even if they are getting that, the 30 seconds of no flashlight time will also allow bad killers who don't know how to counter the flashlight well to have moments of grace where they won't have to worry about a potential save.

Let's pray beHaviour gives some love to the Residual Manifest peoples ❤️

    I like the residual manifest but I do agree that it's not the best perk ever. I think it's main weakness is it's timer. 30s isn't the lowest but as you are chased the moment you get down and the blindness will be over and as it might be decent antihook perk it's far away from this. I would change it different way though.

    Opening or rummaging any chest grants sports flashlight. The blindness on killer is 33 % shorter but they suffer 60s blindness. This affects all aura reading available.
