Undying buff

Has anyone noticed undying got another buff. Everyone knows that they made it so you don’t lose tokens when using devour hope and third seal but another buff was given to the perk
Basically they increased the range of aura reading on dull totems to 2/3/4 meters originally it was 2 meters at all tiers

Makes sense, after all whatd be the difference between tiers
Wow, two extra meters of aura range. Talk about a buff.
compensation for all the false ds you take for not tunneling i guess.
I feel like this 'buff' gets majorly countered by the fact that this perk is now removed as soon as you cleanse one hex totem.
It's not going to matter to much. Undying is always the first totem to be cleansed now and dull totems matter much less to killers now that totems can't respawn on dulls.
That may look bad but in gameplay it can be very good cause people are going to always be walking around dull totems and I saw a match where so many auras were being seen cause of undying
4 meters, and unlimited duration of aura reading. Not bad.
Trading search time for a few meters of aura on useless totems doesn't seem like a buff.
Personally the tokens carrying over feels less like a buff and more like lubricant. The devs knew we were going to be sore when they took away our best slow down perks.
You forgot to mention that Aura reading no longer applies to hex totems, which means the killer won't see you when you are destroying it. A huge change and makes me not want to run it any more, frankly.
If you have two hexes, that means not seeing aura reading on 2 out of 5 totems.
I still don't understand why ppl refuse to do totems. Even otz be like, f°°° totems, just do gens.
I been working on totems ever since undying came out and I don't face issues everyone is complaining about.
What sucks is the Nancy's who look for totems but I already cleared all of them on my own.
Buff? The aura reading does NOT work on hex totems anymore which is why this perk was also really good. It could stop survivors from cleansing hex totems which is not possible anymore. It only shows auras on dull totems now.
Keeping all tokens doesn't mean much when the end result is Undying, dying.
Idk about you but knowing exactly where a survivor or two are for the next 14 seconds is pretty good. Makes cleansing a lot harder if you can pressure gens and totems, makes it harder for survivors to sneak around since you can just see them anways.
It's a decent enough perk that now is just permanently there.
Imagine NOED working pretty well with that now, no more instant noed destruction, you get a second chance. At least for a couple fun builds I could see survivors soiling themselves over cleansing a hex totem after NOED is revealed and the hex marker doesn't go away
It's two extra meters in radius, which results in 37square meters more.
now is just permanently there.
🤨
Explain yourself
Undying is no longer a hex totem itself, so if it goes off in place of another hex, its passive would still be active, right?
Undying is still a Hex. All affects go when it goes.
They had no problems to nerf old ruin, without releasing undying at the same time.
The buff to it doesn't make up for the major nerf it received, sure it allows you to keep stacks, but that can be cleansed even easier now since you're guaranteed to take out Undying first.
Because people knew, that when enough people complain about the perk. It gets gutted.
"F totems, just do gens" is what a handful of killers are looking forward to.
Survivors will work on a gen, see no ruin, lose even more interest in bones, and them BAM! Devour hope procs.
Sure, they might find it quickly, or not so quickly. But there will be a window.
Bunch of scrubs ....
So help me understand why survivors won't do totems?
I been playing all day today and nobody cares about totems. I clear 4-5 on my own.
Well I think it's because (at least in solo q) everyone generally feels like they're gonna die at the end.
The 4-5 totems you're doing could have gotten that last generator done.. in theory. Instead of say everyone wiping with 1 gen left. Of courde if gens are flying, that's a non issue.
That and survivors wanna destroy the killer. Win. Get gens done asap because no one trusts their teammates to do it if things get messy.
Tru3 just made a rank reset shenanigans video that showed some rough teammates.. not exactly bangin' out gens. That said, I run inner strength on occasion, so I'm pro-bone.
It shouldn't, something getting nerfed to this degree. If they haven't made it a passive perk then idk man.
4 meters of aura reading on dull (useless) totems. I'm totally gonna 4k with this perk every game!
yes but it’s unlimited there’s no duration anymore so they have to be out of the 4 meter zone to have there aura revealed.
I think they found a good compromise for Undying. Remember, it used to not exist at all! Suddenly it has one of the highest pick rates of any perk. Naturally players who primarily run ruin and undying are going to be upset but it's tough titties. It has removed an RNG element out of it while still acting as a increase of time ruin stays active. Might not last as long as old undying but now it will be consistent. You can practice and improve on consistent. You cannot with RNG. We should always rejoice and encourage BHVR to stamp out as much RNG as possible.
Tbf it is something, free aura read, I like that
