Prediction: Infectious Fright will greatly buff the aura Legion Build
Right now, The Legion has 2 main playstyles.
--The first playstyle is to do the moonwalk trick and put on perks like Stridor or Bloodhound to force survivors to go down within 20 seconds at minimum.
--The second playstyle is to use aura increasing addons like M&A or distressing in order to increase the visibility range of feral frenzy revealing survivor locations and trying to sprint across the map.
With Infectious Fright, if you have multiple survivors in deep wounds, then downing a survivor will cause them to scream which will cause their mend to pause thus putting them in the dying state. Even if that fails due to a long chase, it will at least help Legion know where to go afterwards in order to keep that deep wound pressure up (he relies heavily on being able to keep his bleed pressure momentum up on survivors to waste time).
Something to keep in mind is that this perk might have a lot of value if an aura build legion stumbles upon a group of survivors, stabs them all, and then manages to down one soon after.
Thoughts?

Wait it stops actions? That's really good actually
Yes, I can feel the darkness rising with this set up.
I'd assume so given how the Doctor's screams work.
Infectious Fright will buff Legion? Haha.
Infectious Fright on a T3 Myers will be absolutely absurd with the right perks.
This perk isn't even good on Legion. Unless you're at rank 20 they aren't even mending themselves in your terror radius.
I actually run DWS with one of the blades that increase mend time and just make everyone take forever to do everything as I slowly pick them off one at a time. Works quite well actually.
Yet another thing to test in PTB. My guess is, after the PTB devs will make changes so mending cannot be interrupted by it (or it's already designed this way).
Will be indeed awesome on m3 Myers though :)
