Phantom Fear perk fails to activate consistently when killer is being looked at

Status: Needs More Info
Priority:
High
Added by: Anonymous on June 19, '26
Assigned to:
Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:
Actual Result:
Phantom fear does not always activate and can often fail to activate despite staring at the killer for dozens of seconds.
Expected Result:
Phantom fear should cause a scream the momment a survivor puts you in the center of their screen.
Severity:
Minor
Reproducibility:
Always
Platform:
Epic
Additional Notes & Comments:
I've been in chases with survivors who were looking behind them the entire time and the perk didn't activate until the momment I hit them with a basic attack. Yes the perk was not on cooldown. I've also experienced this as survivor. I'll be the first survivor to be found/in chase by the killer (the perk did not trigger on anyone else in the match yet) and I'll be continously looking at the killer and the perk just does not seem to consitently activate anymore. This perk used to never leave my blight build but at some point it just started working less consitently. Like it used to be nearly impossible to not trigger this perk when chasing a survivor now I can get entire injuries against survivors in a chase without it going off. Issued started before 10.0.0 but I am only just now reporting it

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run the Perk phantom fear
  2. Have a survivor look at you, especially while you are chasing them or they are attempting to hide

Explanation

Phantom Fear does not consitently activate when you are being looked at by the survivor
