Yellow light's for my eyes only. - Dallas

Description

You are so stealthy, sometimes it seems like you appear out of nowhere.
Whenever you hook a Survivor, Alien Instinct activates:
- The Aura of the farthest injured Survivor is revealed to you for 5 seconds.
- That Survivor suffers from the Oblivious Status Effect for 16/18/20 seconds.
"Yellow light's for my eyes only." - Dallas

Our take

Hooking a Survivor pings the farthest injured one to you for 5 seconds, and blinds that survivor with the Oblivious Status Effect for 16/18/20 seconds. The reveal points at whoever is furthest off, which is not always the one you wanted.

How to use it Worth taking on hook chains where you expect a second injured body still in play. Hold it if your plan depends on the injured one staying unaware of you, since Oblivious is applied either way.

Best for Nothing pairs with it here except Lethal Pursuer, and both perks sit in the same hook-driven slot. It fits a Killer who would rather be told where the second injured body is than go looking.
