How to use Object of Obsession correctly?

[Knibbles]

I wanted to start leveling Laurie and I was curious on how useful OoO was. When I play killer I only see a handful of survivors use it, but they do very well at hiding even when i see there aura. Any tips for using this perk?

Sabo a hook, look at the killer, teabag.
Destroy hex totem, look at the killer, teabag.
Match starts, teabag till the killer comes to you, pallet loop 10 minutes, killer leaves when exit gates are open, teabag at the exit gate.

Congratulations, you are officially an expert OoO member.

The best way to use Object of Obsession is to not equip it in the first place.

SWF.

It's a SWF perk. Use it to bait the killer, grab DS, SB, and SC. Tell your teammates where the killer is at all times and keep looping the killer.

You'd best learn to look at walls and get Sole Survivor quick. And pray it's not a Michael because if it is, you're dead af.

Funny, that's exactly what I've noticed about players who use this perk.

Makes sense. I'll probably pick it up when I play with my buddies.

As an OoO user:

-Use it at match start to quickly identify who the killer is and were he is. If you see no killer he is MYERS!! , or just too far from you wich is good.

- Take quick looks to check what the killer is doing. Never stare at him more than 1 second unless you really want him to know were you are. If he happens to not be looking your way you may stare for a couple seconds more.

-Use gens as cover. Your aura is seen anyway but at long range the gen can conceal it if the killer isnt specially concentrated in looking at the gen auras at his screen.

-You will get yourself killed sometimes by using OoO. Get comfortable at juking and getting killed.

-You can get your mates easily killed too. Do not use OoO when working with other survivors near you unless you are willing to come out and play as bait if you screw up and killer sees you.

-And you will see first when the killer is coming towards you and your mates, so be the first to get out. Sometimes other players understand its time to leave and do so, potentially saving them. Dont feel guilty if they stay and get killed.Not unless you called the killer with OoO, in wich case at least have some decency and go delay/bodyblock the killer and do a hook save.

-If someone is being a jerk or refuses to heal you or help mates in anyway or just afks inside a closet, and you feel like doing something about it, at least dont make it too obvious that the killer found him because of you and your OoO.

-Use OoO to stare at the killer when he hooks someone. If he leaves hook then its safe to hook rush. If he sees you and go for you, loop and juke so others get the hook save. If he is not leaving at least you tried and didnt waste time leaving your gen to check the hook.

-Against nurse, do quick looks when she looks at the ground after a blink to safely track her.

-Against wraith, you are quite screwed if he happens to be a decent killer. Its very hard to hide since while cloaked OoO still works when he is literally a meter away.

-Use sole survivor. works great with OoO. As soon as someone dies or DCs, you can take safe looks at long range. Move around to position yourself outside his aura reading range to safely observe hookings, early retreats at exit door openings, etc. If you are the last then your aura is invisible and you got total control of the match. You can get killed anyway but it will be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ more difficult for the killer. That is a good time to punish campers by farming the crap out of the whole map in relative safety, unless he uses whispers ofcourse.

probably the best perk combo that i would recommend aswell, decisive increases the range, and gives you another life basically. i do think though, you can remove self-care and take a med-kit with plenty of charges instead. then replace self-care with something that helps you escape if he did manage to hit you and you need to escape and heal yourself up. something like iron-will, quick & quiet, or even bond to find team-mates that heal you up so you dont use your med-kit charges, it also helps you not luring the killer into your teammates.

i don't agree with sole survivor. yes it gives you an incredible advantage if all 3 died, even with 2 dead, but really, i think it's a waste of a perk slot. however if you do wanna pick it, replace it for self-care and get the med-kit as i suggested.


afterall, the most important advice i would give to you is to not make it obvious to the killer that you want him to tunnel you.
don't keep staring at him with object of obsession until you are in his terror radius,
don't taunt him with emotes
don't teabag, simply don't provocate him. he will let you go if he realizes you are trying to waste his time. i mean it's obvious but don't make him realize it too soon.

learn to palletloop, use jungle gyms, as object of obsession user, you take the role of distracting the killer, taking his most important resource which is time. juke him for as long as possible. and use it with friends, it's not necessary but helps alot. especially since you can tell the exact location of the killer when somebody is hooked, bait the killer and tell your friends whether they can safely unhook.

[hunter]

Learn how to juke. Then you can use it whenever you want besides situations when you're in the open place or trying to save someone.
You can also bait the killer if he's up for that. Look at him, then hide as good as you can, so you will basically waste killer's time(yours as well, actually).
