Red Herring
The news edit out what is burdensome and complex. which is the truth. - Zarina Kassir
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
Repair any Generator for 3 seconds and it stays highlighted in yellow, pointing a loud decoy at itself the next time you step into a Locker. The highlight drops the moment you repair a different Generator, and the whole thing is behind a 60/50/40 second cool-down.
How to use it Only pays off if you hide right after a repair, since that is the only way to set the decoy. Late in a match it is a cheap way to send the Killer to a finished Generator.
Best for Blast Mine is the closest companion, since it also punishes the Killer for a place you left. Prove Thyself fits when you want to keep repairing after the decoy is set.
