The Fear Radius is depicted as a purple Heartbeat for Survivors that alerts them of the Hunter being nearby. The more intense the heartbeat, the closer the hunter is.
Gameplay[]
Characters[]
Survivors[]
- The "Prisoner" has a smaller Fear Radius due to his trait Obsession. This makes it harder for him to detect when the Hunter is close by.
- However, a cipher on "Prisoner"'s connection will produce sparks near the progress bars when the Hunter is nearby. This somewhat negates his debuff. These sparks will appear even with Bloody Queen's Mirror Image, or Photographer in the Camera World. Any survivor on the machine will be able to see these sparks.
- The Archer has the same debuff. Plus, her movement speed will be decreased by short time when the Hunter is outside of detection range.
- Some tools will alert the user when they are within the Hunter's Fear Radius.
- The Controller icon will begin flashing orange when its controlling survivor is within the Hunter's Fear Radius.
- The Seer's Owl icon will begin flashing orange when the Seer is within the Hunter's Fear Radius while he is spectating another survivor.
- The Entomologist's Insect Net icon will begin flashing orange when the Entomologist is within the Hunter's Fear Radius while she is controlling her bees.
Hunters[]
- Hell Ember's puppets and phantoms will generate a fear radius, however, inactive puppets will not give off a heartbeat.
- Survivors who are have their souls siphoned by White Guard will generate false Fear Radius if White Guard is far from them.
- The Bloody Queen's Mirror Image will not generate a Fear Radius, making it easier for her to get a Terror Shock.
- Dream Witch's followers will not generate a heartbeat unless the player is actively controlling it. This can allow Dream Witch to catch players off guard, especially in areas with high walls or many obstacles.
Persona[]
- The removed Persona Talent, Restraint reduced the Fear Radius by 15% which allowed Hunters to closer approach Survivors before alerting them.
Hunter Traits[]
- There was a hunter trait called Concealment which was never implemented in game. This trait would temporarily render the heartbeat mechanic useless, as it concealed both the hunter's red light and Fear Radius.
- The Patroller will also give nearby survivors a visible heartbeat when a hunter is controlling it.
