Weave is 100% getting a nerf... | Dead by Daylight

Weave Attunement is a relatively new perk introduced with the Vecna chapter that has the potential to reveal auras of Survivors in certain auras for very long periods of time. With Distortion already rising rapidly in popularity, I'm afraid that perks like Weave are only going to make that situation worse and I'm almost certain that it'll get a nerf at some point soon. Enjoy it while it lasts, I guess!

I think being in the aura reveal range as Survivor should show the aura of the item, even if they nerf it in other ways one of the biggest frustration points for Survivors going against it is having to scour the floor in a 12m radius and triangulate where a teammate dropped the item just to move it, moving it is already a time sink they should just be able to see the damn item If Killers really want to they can run Third Seal to keep the items hidden, but at that point that's 3 perks dedicated to the strat (Weave, Franklin's, Third Seal) so they can go for it if they really want to

[@scotty2naughtty]

Pretty sure that would be the nerf. All survivors see the item aura within the aura reveal range. Probably would increase the Oblivious time for the pickup so it wouldn't feel like a one-sided nerf.

[@magical571]

that's fair enough. i would actually love this too as a killer lol, because it means the goblins are more likely to get greedy about their precious items instead of being useful 😂😂but that would be 100% on them. Because if used correctly, the aura would streamline the process of countering the perk my moving/avoiding said item

Maybe it could be a noed situation where the longer the item is dropped the more range you can see the aura until it covers the full weave range.

[@ItsssNiko]

Recently had a match on the SilentHill map where a killer brought franklins and weave. Everyone brought items and opened chest, the ENTIRE map was covered by Weave, there was items just everywhere so the map pressure was insane

[@nGEnigma]

Doesn't help them that it has infinite vertical aura range(and least thats what I've been told and experienced). My friend swapped items with basement chest on shack and I always had the icon while in shack despite checking everywhere. He told me about the item, I went down, grabbed it and put it in the corner of a map. Low and behold the icon never popped up while in shack ever again.

[@kitnal4143]

that is kinda the survivor's fault ngl if they did that lol

[@lapisinfernalis9052]

The only change this needs is that the item is visible to survivors so they have a chance to pick it up and put away. Now you don't even bother in finding the item, because a circle with 16m radius is HUGE.

[@Letycs]

You don't think a perk that gives you infinite wall hacks within 12m of items that your team constantly drops and you cannot find is balanced? Lol. Plus if you DO find it, you're oblivious and putting items in corner of map is super time consuming and often is still close enough to a loop for it to not matter where you put it. The only 'good' counter suggestion I've seen is bringing object and setting your item next to a gem you're working on for constant aura read + 6% repair speed.

[@Predated2]

@@Letycs I think a legit good change is that if an item is empty (so when it gets forcefully dropped), then it gives an aura. Then remove obliviousness on an item if it has no charges left. So picking up a new item still gives obliviousness, but an empty item wont. That way, there is an average of 25 seconds per item dropped with Franklins before it shows an aura.

[@Letycs]

@@Predated2 I mean that's one suggestion, but I can see people 99ing items to avoid the aura reads. Then you'd only get aura value if people were oblivious to the perk or if you had Franklin's. I personally feel like a good change would be just to put a time limit on the aura read and leaving everything the way it is (other than possibly making it easier to find the item, but it might not be necessary with timed aura read). The most egregious issue with the perk to me is that it's infinite wall hacks. Like you get aura reads off of it for like 1-2m or something after an item is dropped.

It's strong but the usefulness (for me) has been hit or miss. Most situations (in my experience) have the Survivors running away from a high priority area, into some tile I don't care about, and their item gets dropped there. M2 Killers have the ability to control the drop a bit more, and if you can secure an M1 quickly, the drop is more ideal but both of these reward the skill/planning needed to use the perk to it's fullest potential. And lest we forget, half your entire load loadout has to be committed to using the perk. It's almost been two months, so I don't see them nerfing it too soon, if at all

[@magical571]

honestly, it has helped me against bully swf more than anything really. it won't stop them from doing gens or unhooking at all (so, if they want to play like a normal team, they can), but it will make it risky to hover around the downed teammate with an item in range

My suggested changes would be to make it only show the auras around empty items. The original design is that is makes you drop empty items and show the auras and the biggest issue is that paired with franklins it’s instant value. It could still work with franklins over time if the item is left on the ground (to avoid the oblivious status effect) and can still be countered by picking it up and putting it back down again

That's a common excuse to keep overtuned or overpowered perks strong. It was the same argument for ultimate weapon. Static information at little to no cost to the killer is problematic at best and outright damaging to the game at worst. Weave falls into the overtuned category, reducing the range to 10-12 meters and highlighting the item to survivors to telegraph that they're seen would make for more fun counterplay without completely gutting the perk. 16 meter range is too much, and no indication of when the killer has permanent wall hacks with no cooldown at a loop or gen is extremely unfair.

I genuinely think that Weave wont get a nerf, it's SYNERGY will, Franklin's Demise is what really makes Weave Attunement stronger imo since its basically a must have perk to run with Weave since ofc drops the items but reducing the charges means if someone uses it they drop it sooner aswell so what I'm expecting regarding Weave balancing is seeing Franklin's Demise changed back to its older version that made it so items affected by Franklins were consumed by the entity upon reaching 0 charges. thats what I'm expecting to see happen if they decide to actually "nerf" Weave as bringing back that effect for Franklins would automatically nerf the Weave builds by default meaning it wont be as unfun to deal with

[@magical571]

How can you move the item if the killer continuously camp it?

@wallacewells2822 I'd say your best bet in that scenario would unfortunately let them reach second stage and push gens. Taking a trade if necessary. Move the item later if it's still in a problem area without the hook. You should fairly quickly make the pig decide if getting the kill is worth the time investment and hope she decides to go for more chases.

The pig was in a range where she could lunge at everyone but the meter wasn't filling up, and her stealth ability allowed her to scare the sh** out of my team. She was able to quickly down the entire team because the one repairing was too close to the hook, the one trying to unhook obviously didn't succeed because his aura was always revealed and the last one, who at first was scared so decided to repair far away from us, at one point was forced to help us but it didn't end well.

I've been using this for a while It good against solo but with survivor and friends, you're basically out to perks they'll just pick up their items and put them in the corner It's definitely good I just don't really think it's that broken.

[@SirBM-TTV]

Weave isn't the issue, it's Franklin's, which has caused synergy issues in the past (working with killer powers etc). My suggested change to Franklin's would be to make it so it no longer makes survivors drop items. Instead, when a killer hits you (basic or special) it disables survivors being able to use their item for 10 seconds (could be more of less, just an example). What this does is make Franklin's less annoying to go against (no more losing charges and having to pick up) but it maintains the theme of preventing item use. This also gives interesting scenarios, for example, hitting a flash lighter gives the killer the safety of knowing the survivor can't use the item whilst they pick up (alternative to lightborn). The effect could be a new status or could utilise incapacitated if time isn't too long.

[@Pancake8450]

Pretty solid change that I (a survivor main) would be pretty happy about

Weave is definitely the issue here. Franklin's shouldn't need to be nerfed because of Weave.

[@swaith07]

The most effective counter to this, is to take items to the edge of the map and drop them there. I think the best "nerf" that could work with it would be to synergise it with franklins. Weave makes the item drop when it is consumed, only allow aura on deplete items. So if franklins forces the drop, it doesn't provide aura until after it has been drained by franklins. - still as powerful after some time, easily countered by moving the item, and still gives a fair value for the perk combination.

[@Drewchiha]

It takes 2 perk slots to make it viable doesnt need a nerf

[@Kagato]

I believe Weave Attunement by itself isn't the problem. It's the synergy it has with Franklin's Demise. Weave by itself allows for survivors to make a choice after exhausting their item. leave it there and have their aura's revealed while they're near that spot, or pick it up and move it out of the way while suffering from Oblivious. Franklin's Demise now comes in and makes it harder because now the item is likely dropped in chase, forcing a survivor to go back and try and find the item later, which will give the killer plenty of value beforehand.

[@therandomgamer8107]

I’m tired of these whiny survivors, stbfl, ultimate weapon, weave attunement, then probably whatever draculas perks are.

My suggestion to the nerf: The item on the floor shows the aura of survivors within 12 meters (maybe even buff a little bit here), however, it only shows 12 meters if the item is full of charges, and as the charges are lower, the radius also goes down. Completely used items on the floor grant no aura reading, That will address the Franklins combo and still keeping Weave Attunement somewhat usable.

[@zukene]

Weave by itself causes items to drop automatically once they’re completely drained so that’s basically just removing the aura reading

[@comicalman4554]

since you won't say it, I'll say it for us. i play both sides and knew that perk wasnt okay the first time i read it. the perk has zero cooldown it punishes the survivors for picking up an item it punishes a survivor for not picking up an item it punishes a survivor for opening chests or just using an item at all it needs survivor perks like object to be otherwise countered... it never should have made it to live as it is. and the fact that they let it work with franklins was a bit on the insulting side.

[@UndyingZombie]

FYI. At one point "Hangman's Trick" used to bring back hooks that where destroyed by survivors dying on said hook. It also took a long time just like how the hooks are done now. So its basically like killers have the old "Hangman's Trick" perk as basekit now. Kinda funny in a way since people have been asking for that since.. Well forever.
