Like unrelenting and bloodhound, great for learning. But don't rely on it. I like it on my spirit, but I really should learn to play her without it. There is a wonderful feeling of turning round and instantly twatting someone chasing you as you are carrying someone else to the hook.
Its #########. Learn to play without it. The increase isn't that noticible anyway. If you want to track injured survivors easily then Bloodhound is the superior option.
It would be nice if it emphasised breathing and footsteps, the things that streamers claim that they can hear.
I think it's only useful on spirit for track the survivor more easily.
It was good when there was no sound occlusion, but now with messed up sound its pretty much worthless.
Cheers boys, appreciate the comments so far xx
Trash cause it doesn't interact with sound properly. It'll help you find survivors from a further distance, but it doesn't help with positional accuracy.
Ex: You hear a survivor moaning LOUDLY, like they're right in front of you. In reality, because Stridor doesn't work correctly, they're likely to be 5-8 meters in front of you.
It's really dumb if you're trying to use it on Spirit, but it's good if you frequently lose injured survivors; however, I'd suggest Sloppy Butcher in this case, since there's no real counter to bleeding.
Paid for good headphones, got a free Stridor.
Yes, despite everyone always saying the music blasts through footstep noises, i can actually still hear them and their direction.
Technically, i could also equip Stridor to maximize the effect, but that'd like asking for a 5% buff on Overwhelming Presence.
Basically, it has a purpose i guess.
But the right headphones almost cancel its use completely.
you really got to get used to the perk before it actually pays off.
for me its just confusing, as i would not be able to tell how far a survivor is away from me just by the groaning and breathing.
if you got used to it, its super good for tracking though.
