question to killer mains about a perk
Hello everyone
so about the new perk that reduces 4 meter of heart beat with each token.. it says it works while in a chase .. does that mean it doesn't actually remove 4 meter from your heartbeat in a normal time only in chases??
whats the point of this perk ? if im chasing someone why would I need my heartbeat to be less intense?

Only in chases.
The reduced TR disorients survivors, making them misjudge how far away you really are.. especially if they cannot see your red stain.
It's a very niche perk. Someone like Freddy can make good use of it. Hag can also get some use out of it due to her odd sizing.
Trash-tier perk. Monitor & Abuse does a way better job at confusing people with the hearbeat in and outside of the chase. Plus the FOV gain outside a chase is a nice addition as well.
The point of Furtive is too trick survivors by having no Terror Radius at 4 stacks, but it's pointless on anyone except Freddy because survivors at high ranks look for the Red Stain, or for you by looking behind them. all in all, it's pretty pointless unless you're playing Freddy, since Freddy can see aura's of survivors outside of his Terror Radius.
EW1 or EW2 Myers without M&A is the only killer who would have no terror radius with max tokens Furtive Chase active. It reduces terror radius by a max of 16 meters at 4 stacks.
Freddy with one of his iridescent add-ons can also reach 0 TR both in and out of chase at 4 stacks+M&A
Furtive Chase also has the benefit of catching other survivors off guard. When chasing a survivor and having half your TR or no TR with certain killers, the chased survivor could run right past a teammate working on an objective but because they don't hear the Heartbeat, or think the killer is Further away than they actually are, they tend not to flee soon enough and often get surprised when the killer is unexpectedly less than 8m from them. Had this happen when I was testing it out multiple times, and I usually traded targets for the one who was holding still rather than running to great effect. This was particularly brutal when I was playing Plague or other 1 shot killers and I got it to work, but with it currently being bugged, getting it to work for long without accidentally losing all of the tokens was a real pain.
