Take it from an old-timer: Slow down, don't rush and try not to worry so much! The best way to beat him is to know how he thinks. - Murf, The Lost Tapes

Description

Unlocks potential in your Aura-reading ability:
Whenever a Generator is completed, Dark Sense activates:
- The Aura of the Killer is revealed to you for 5/7/10 seconds once they come within 24 metres of your location.
Dark Sense deactivates after use.

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 Dark Sense 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.
