Whispers perk

[CorvusCorax]

Does anybody use this perk? Do you get any value of it?

It's nice hearing the entity's whispers but on an outdoors map what good it is if I know someone is within 32 meters? Never started looking around when I heard the whispers (since I do not know where to go).

I'm just curious about the usefulness of this perk and your opinions.

I use it when I play ghost face so I know when to start being sneaky and using my stalk. It's also useful during endgame when you've closed the hatch and want to know which door the survivor is near. I don't think it's useful otherwise, especially when there's so many aura perks these days.

Thanks for the feedback. I got this in Chaos Shuffle that is why I asked it.

Personally I think whispers is a truly under used perk. With constant use and some map sense you can truly be a menace to hiding survivors granted it's not great on all killers since while it's useful it's hard to justify it taking a slot when other things are just better.

Of course it's underused. You only have 4 perk slots, can you really justify taking it?
Whispers is a very nice perk in certain situations. but those situations are normally when you've already won the game. Its range is simply way too big, so knowing a survivor is in the area isn't much use in general.

I'd take Spies from the Shadows over Whispers if I had to pick one. It gives more consistently useful information throughout the match. And I have been using it, since I've been trying the Merciless Killer w/ 3 universal perks achievement.

I've been getting it in chaos shuffle and making some use of it, but I think the reason why I still won't use it much is that the main benefit is if someone's being really stubborn about being sneaky and you already didn't bring better detection perks. As far as I can tell there's no way a survivor can turn it off though which does bump up its value.

It is not a bad perk, but there are other perks that do similar thing in a better way. It is pretty good for new player especially, since they don't have much option.

Whispers is really good. With practice you can pinpoint survivor locations with pretty good accuracy. Pay attention to when the icon lights up and take a step back and approach from different angle and see it light up again and you can pinpoint their locations.

Used it back in 2016, coz this game had no perks at all
Now u can use little pursuer + tonn of aura perks, whispers are outdated

By which point you've wasted so much time trying to triangulate their position, you've already lost a gen. Assuming they haven't moved.

The only use for Whispers for locating a survivor in that way is if they're on the ground and crawled away to god knows where. Again, a situation that is only going to happen when you've already won the match. It's also extremely useful for figuring out which exit gate a survivor is near, but again, you've already won the match.

With practice you don't even need to triangulate and can make some strong guesses where they are if you know the distances and map layout well. Also good for scouting gens so you don't need to travel all the way. Someone already pointed out its good with Ghostface as it tells you when to crouch. Granted, there are more powerful perks and I often only take it when I play Ghostface. Its just a much better perk than people give it credit for.

It should be 24m then it's good, 32m is too much!

whispers is very good for camping the exit gates

[Morthe1st]

I agree dropping its distance would be a pretty good way of buffing it without making it too strong.
