How Crows work?

[Lepakko]

Like to know more about Crows! If you scare the crows is it global alert what killers gets or killer needs to be near to get alert?

I heard if you last survivor crows will hover near you? Same if you go locker crows mark your locker if you too long there?

There is perk for survivor and killer to go with crows. How the killer perk work? Like need to be near or its global? Do survivor perk give resist to last survivor crow stuff or it just for crows what fly off if you scare them.

If the killer does not have the perk, they have to hear it and look at it themselves. If they do have the perk, there's a chance they'll see a the crows glowing red on their screen.

If you sit around in a 5 meter spot for too long without moving far enough, there will be crows that circle above the camped spot.

Survivors have a perk that has up to 90% chance to stop crows from flying. It doesn't stop the camping crow signal though.

Crows hover if you sit still (anti-afk/backseating)

Jake has a unique perk to have a percent chance to not alert crows when moving past (nearly useless)

Killers have a perk [Spies from the Shadows] to give an alert (same alert that busting a generator gives). However, crows get alerted by YOU as well as survivors, creating a popcorn-like scenario with alerts going on constantly and in all directions (also completely useless).

not correct. the statement above you is. (5 meter area)
That means you can keep moving slowly in a 5 meter area (back and forth) and crows will still come

How big alert crows give to killer when you scare them as survivor?

It gives the same alert as it does when the survivors fail a skill-check on a generator, a loud "BOOF" and a red/black circle where they did it.

Thanks for info. I have found the talent useful what dont scare crows. It let me sneak map a lot. Was just wondering if it was for the perk or crows dont do much diffirence. It seem they can easilly give you a way.

But I don't get it: when you pass by crows they fly off making a very loud sound, can't the killer hear it and know where you are (even if there's no visual cue) is he's closer than, say, 20 meters? The sound the crows make seems to be loud enough to be heard half way across the map...

Flying crows always make some noise and even without a perk a good nearby killer will hear it. But its hard to follow, cause there are so much noises. But you even can see the crows flying away from far away and know that a surv passed that spot.

Spies from the Shadows does not trigger on crows that the killer disturbs it used to but was changed several patches ago

Edit: also why did you necro this gato_callejero?

No, it's not useless. It's one of the best perks. A lot of the killers run the Spies perk, this one counters this.

Juggernaunt's post was from the 25th of June, when there were way less crows in the game and Spies was not as good a perk.

I just thought the crow sound was too loud and would be too easy for a killer to detect. I find myself annoyed at thinking that the crows are constantly giving me away. But from your answers now, it seems that even if the killer were to hear the crows (the sound seems to not have as much range as I thought), it would be had for him to pinpoint it.

i'm annoyed at crows spanwing ONTO objectives....

I know this is an old post but Spies from shadows is actually pretty good. I have many times managed to get a kill or two just because of this perk.
