object of obsession tips?

[Hadley333]

I'm trying to get laurie's achievement for using her 3 unique perks, but not too familiar with object of obsesssion.

I know the killer can see me when I look at them. Does that mean when the character is facing them, or even when i'm looking away yet have the camera facing killer will it still show me?

Any other tips would be great,

Dont look at the killer 24/7? Or hide behind a gen, it will cover your aura

Its when your camera is looking at them

Camera then, not the body. Thanks.

be careful with it becasue the killer will likely camp you because of OoO bad stigma with SWF groups.

It's purely based on the camera direction and regardless of what some will say, the angle *doesn't* matter at all. I've seen some people say that you can just look at the ground and it won't trigger but it actually will.

The way I dealt with it for the achievement was to try and use it as little as possible because I play mostly stealth so i'd be ♥♥♥♥♥♥ if I was having OoO triggering frequently.

yea its a shame becasue its realy cool in theory:
- takes skill in order to "peek" at killer for split seconds without givng your postion
- actualy works as an obession perk becasue of its naturaly anoying nature and it can give away your postion for free making the killer tunnle you as if the PLAYER is obbessed with one persion
- synergises nice with luries other perk sole surivor promoteing even more skilled game play of going in with a handy cap that if you can over come, becomes a boon (one sided OoO)

but in practice its only used by SWF for two things:
- global tea bagging to bait the killer into tunning one guy whos kitted out to loop the ♥♥♥♥ out of that poor killer
- global recon by having one guy tell the rest of his team where you are on the map and what your doing at all times (which is actualy game breaking)
- often its used for both at the same time

when you combine this with the overall strength of surivors + SWF + SFW toxicisty + lopping it becoms by far one of the most anoying perks to see in a game.






unless you see a rank 20 laurie trying to use it for the first time and not realising you can see her too then its the funnyest thing ever.

Some tips:

-If you can see his aura, he can see yours if you are inside his FOV.
-Use gens as cover, it hides your aura.
-Take quick looks at the killer to check on his position&direction. No more than 1 sec stares.
-When taking a look, always note if he was looking your way( he likely saw you too), or if he was looking other way (he didnt see you).
-Learn to navigate around the map while facing the camera away from the killer. This means running/walking totally blind lots of times. You will get used to it.
-If you know or suspect the killer saw your aura run away. Dont walk or hide just freaking move. If he knows whats happening he is likely to really look for you.
-You will get your mates killed because of you. If you gave away your position and have friendlies near, have some dignity and use OoO to shamesly bait the killer away from your mates.


Interesting things.
-You can use OoO to interact with the killer. Its funny to challenge him or openly revealing yourself to him. If you can dodge him, thats it. I love running straight towards him while he is looking my way after hooking someone, its like telling him "here I come and I wantr you to know it". You can get many diferent reactions from diferent killers.
-You will always know wich way to run after unhooking someone, or poping a gen, or hearing the killers hearthbeat. You will know when to run or when to stay hidden. Your mates dont have that info and you will always see them making mistakes or running straight towards the killer, and die. Dont try to warn them, it doesnt work most of the time. Use their mistakes to gen rush or do something productive.
-You can see who is the killer at the start of a match, and choose a proper tactic. Many times you wish you could tell your mates. Freddy and Myers cant surprise you.
-The Pig killer. Have pity on him. He is almost useless against you with OoO. You can see him aproach crouching up to touching distance. He cant ambush you at all. You can easily troll him to death.
-Wraith. He is dangerous to you. No really, he is. While cloaked you both see your auras up to 2 meters away. Its very difficult to hide from him without accidentally giving away your position. Against a good wraith you are for a hell of a match.

seems like a perk that would be cool if it wasn't for SWF

Fredboi isn't revealed to you with OoO unless you are in the Dreamworld but he gets to see you regardless. Not sure about Evil Within 1 Myers though.

But you can still see when OoO is triggered, so you know that Freddy is the killer and can see what general direction he’s in.

The perk highlights when the killer sees you - it's a fine perk, just don't look unless it benefits you, i.e. BBQ is probably on, the killer is carrying someone, you hear the heartbeat etc.

I used it twice, 2nd time got the achievement. In the first match I had no clue wtf was going on with it, as I thought it was on a cooldown like Small Game or similar. I spent the whole match most likely pissing the Killer off because I always watch the direction they're in, if I know it, to check for downs/hooks and if they are headed in my direction.

Using it while you're finishing up a generator and the Killer is headed towards you, popping the gen a couple seconds before they reach you, and running away is not a good idea. Although that was a fun staring contest since he knew exactly where I was and what I was doing the whole time.

Wasn't aware of that. Good to know.

Well, can see you is what I meant, it highlights when you got the camera angle on them.
