Description
You have noticed that people pay attention to whatever makes the loudest noise.
After repairing a Generator for at least 3 seconds, its Aura is highlighted to you in yellow.
- The Generator stays highlighted until it is either fully repaired, you start repairing another Generator, or enter a Locker.
- Entering a Locker will trigger a Loud Noise Notification for the Killer at the highlighted Generator's location.
Red Herring has a cool-down of 60/50/40 seconds.

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 Red Herring 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.
