Our take

Aura perk. Aura perks reveal or hide Auras (visual indicators of Survivor or object locations). The meta game of aura reading is core to DBD.

How to use it Chemical Trap is most useful in the early game when Survivors are spread across the map. Use the aura info to cut off rotations and force bad chases.

Best for Killers with strong tracking instincts or Survivors who want to play the aura-hiding game.
