[@InfiniteVoid117]

⁠@@thedoomslayer5863 That’s not true. If the map is too big, the gates don’t have clear los, the killer you’re playing doesn’t have any mobility, or a combination of the three, then the survivor gets a free escape. Not to mention if they have perks like wake up or sole survivor.

​@Leaf I don't think so, it would just make the perk better to include in builds such as seen in the video, it's a health perk. Now if a killer is going to camp he will camp no matter what

[@wurewulf264]

I feel like it wouldn’t be game breaking if whispers was buffed to show you how many survivors are in the whispers radius. Like if it had stacks for how many survivors are in it. Would give it a nice little boost, as it is now it’s kind of a weaker perk that can get stronger when paired with others.

[@thedoomslayer5863]

Yeah I'd like that. Right now it's just too weak to warrant my perk slot. And give some screen effect when it's on like smoke around the edges of the screen so I don't have to look at it nonstop. Also have it not go off when someone is on hook as you obviously know where they are already

Overall still not the biggest fan of it nor do i think it will be buffed sadly.

[@ShittusThinkus]

Whispers is actually quite an underrated Perk, not the best in the game but actually incredibly useful on quite a few Killers, like Huntress and Wesker since it helps alot catching survivors that run and hide earlier from your huge terror radius/lullaby. Dredge, Knight, Doctor, Sadako and Artist also profit quite a lot from this perk.

[@thedoomslayer5863]

As a Wesker main I can tell u it really doesn't. It just gives you a rough idea they are SOMEWHERE nearby. I'd rather run a perk that shows me their EXACT location like any aura reading over whispers. Or something like plaything to just flat out remove my terror radius from the equation

[@jasons2928]

This is a really unique use of Whispers, i like it! Personally, i use Whispers in my Jumpscare Myers build. Saves seconds from having to constantly slow walk stalk around the map because the moment it flicks on, you're more then likely to catch someone with Scratched Mirror too

[@johnschmitt5942]

That's actually smart, I'll have to try that

I wonder if this build would be good on Huntress with the Wooden Fox addon. Even though her lullaby gives her away, if they don't hear the terror radius, they don't usually run.

Trails of Torment will always be my favorite perk for deathslinger, as he has the damage potential more akin to huntress, but without a lullaby, meaning you can get easy hits as well as even grabs with his kit.

[@IbanezDom]

Otz jumpscare. He just started talking about whispers instead of introducing himself

[@Magothys]

I find Whispers to be counter-productive in most cases. If a survivor is hiding in a corner, I waste a lot more time trying to find them when this perk lights up than I would continuing to patrol gens. Spies is a lot more value because it pinpoints a location and survivors don't play around crows in my experience.

[@FinestFantasyVI]

Amen. I love that Spies pinpoints where the survs are. And sure some say "survivors arent ther anymore, they ran away", yea but at least I know where they are. By the time I come where Spies went off, I see scratch marks

[@drybonedaniel]

I love whispers so much i genuinely run it on almost any killer. Also hi otz im early to a vid for once

[@MREmrdzcn]

Would love to see a comparison between walking back while reeling vs walking forward while reeling. I remember you talked about how you need to walk back because you're fighting their resistance but I feel like walking forward is just faster.

[@linkholder]

Walking forward reduces the pull because the chain isnt tense, as opposed to walking backwards when a survivor is hooked

[@derpyduck5088]

It doesn't actually matter. Your reel speed isn't a set number and it changes based on your movement and if the chain is clipping through an object or not. The survivor will always arrive to you at the same time no matter what. Moving is dependent on the current situation. Pulling backwards moves the survivor faster, so they don't have a lot of time to get stuck on stuff. Pulling Forwards moves you faster, if they're already stuck on something but you can get within lunge distance.

[@themr_wilson]

The reel reels as the reel will What's happening is survivor position within that reel -- pushing forward holds the survivor where they are. Useful if there's a hook right near them so you don't have to walk as far after the hit. No matter the distance, the reel time is the same (unless an object/survivor is in the way breaking it, of course). If Slinger stands still, the survivor is just pulled to him. The survivors just try to wiggle around to get something in between is all, it's not affecting the time it takes to real

[@dxrkngt]

Whispers is def a good perk for beginners that might not know where to go to find survivors but other than that there are much better tracking perks

[@liveguy1186]

Someone at chat: I don't know how to aim with Slinger. Otz: "You know it's like rock climbing you - start out something very simple, then you see if you can do something complex, then you say hello Altair thank you so much for the raid, that's very kind of you and then eventually you'll get better." Damn, where do I get my own Altair to get better at Deathslinger?) 10:06 - it's where it basically starts

I have played this game for years and I have always been a fan of whispers, recently I made a new account that is free to play so it is one of 2 good tracking perks (whispers and bitter murmur) I have actually found that whispers is better than I originally thought, yes it it not the aura reading of bitter, but if you know how to use it it is a very helpful and powerful tracking perk, especially on killers who slug or snowball like huntress or nurse, this perk eliminates the need for deerstalker completely and it works throughout the game whether or not they are downed. In my opinion it is one of the strongest tracking perks in the game

[@rtristan8572]

I miss the days I couldn't play without it.

[@sixthaxis5236]

my build request became an otz video, i made it mom also i may as well say, i got my request wrong by accident and i highly recommend using jolt instead of corrupt. corrupt can tip people off to stealth killers, and if you get an instadown early corrupt will deactivate and get less value. corrupt also makes it a little harder to find the first survivor, where normally you can start the game by using whispers to check the furthest gens. in the end of the day tho, corrupt still fits the build nicely and it can work fine, but i personally recommend jolt. happy hunting everyone! awesome video as always otz!

It pairs well with stealth killers/builds. Larger terror radius = more panicked survivor movements at the edge of Whispers range. That might add a few seconds to pinpointing them.

I had a slinger game yesterday where the survivors just hid in my corrupt intervention "zone" then managed to sneak by me and do 2 gens before it even ran out... Whispers would have definitely helped me there.

[@SlasherTheMod]

I like to run a Silent Deathslinger build with Whispers using those similar perks, except also using the Police Badge + Whiskey for an even smaller terror radius + Furtive Chase and Monitor and Abuse. Before you get 1 token from Furtive Chase that's already having a 12 meter terror radius, which is well enough to land a shot on a unsuspecting survivor. With at least 3 tokens with Furtive Chase, you make your terror radius down to zero. Making you completely silent, while very gimmicky, it can be fun to shoot unaware survivors and scare them. As well I use whispers at times for stealthy killers like Wraith and Ghost Face. If you really wanna be a dick, when looking for hatch, remain stealthy then hit the hatch when Whispers goes off.

[@SethWulfstone]

This is one of my favorite go to's for Myers instead, Monitor and Abuse + Dead Rabbit and you've got a 4 meter terror radius. Having a 99 insta down you can keep in your pocket is great for an ambush and also good for hit and run playstyles if you want to run knock out or sloppy butcher as well.

[@Garresh1]

6 meters not 4. And for extra fun run infectious fright. Your TR balloons to like 50 meters when you're in phase 3 Myers in a chase. Almost no TR in tier 2 but then you get to detect anybody nearby when you instadown and go for a Snowball. Plays to the strengths of both t2 and t3.

[@bluejedi101]

22:55 Nea trying to be a Dwight Main with the locker

[@SHAdow98V]

Honestly the absolute best use for Whispers is on Doctor,32m radius on both so when Whispers is active you know you will hit at least one person with the blast and knowing most survivors nowadays rushing gens you usually find 2 or 3 in one blast and as we all know on Doc keeping that sanity pressure on all the time is the way to win because skill checks are messy and on tier 3 they need to snap out or they're useless. Tho i admit i usually got alot of value out of Whispers for the simple fact that you can't counter it so while it doesn't give pinpoint info it does narrow down the area alot.

[@nicememes7570]

Wispers is basically lethal pursuer on any 2d map. Most of the time when it triggers you can walk straight forward and find the survivor, the rest of the time you just need to think a little. (Spoken as someone who has played for 5 yrs)
