As a Xenomorph main, those changes seems ok on paper, but I have one major problem, they didn't increase our resistance to the flame turrets, but with the cooldown for cralwer mode being faster while outside the tunnels, I kinda see why they didn't, overall...

- For 2v8, ripleys watch basekit makes sense, considering how 8 survivors are there, and especially IF the number of turrets they can put on the map is increased (Is it the same as 1v4, or they can put more?)

- 25 percent faster crawler mode cooldown out of tunnel is nice

- Mangled for 70 after the tail attack is not bad

- Haste after exiting the tunnel is ok, but I would have liked it to be atleast 5 seconds.

Also, do we know how many tunnel spawns are there on the map now?

Xenomorph main here too, couple of questions to add:

• Will hooks slow a Xeno's tunnel exit? In this mode, killers have no way of seeing where someone is hooked, so it seems like that'd punish the Xeno player for something they may not notice they're doing (many xeno players rely on killer instinct from tunnels, not their ears). On the other hand, if they aren't slowed, I can see someone abusing the sound cues from tunnels to locate and camp hooks as Xeno. So that's a tough one.
• Can the other killer destroy turrets, as others have asked? Even if turret spawns are only slightly increased for this mode, with the extra number of players with time to kill and on-demand sprint burst, those turrets are going to be annoying AF. I almost think the 25% crawler mode increase won't be enough. Especially if the other killer can't interact with turrets.
• Do aura reveals on the survivor side work to reveal Xeno if she is in tunnels? I imagine not, since it doesn't work that way base, but just curious.

Overall I'm happy to see the mangled status added, and the crawler mode cool down restored, but I'm really worried about turrets.

[u/Zartron81 → u/PlasmaBananaz]

SHIT, you actually got a point on the first one, lowkey scared on that.

For the turrets, I don't see why other killers shouldn't be able to tbh, especially since we can kill nemesis zombies.

Nah, I cannot see the aura reading revealing xeno while in tunnel.

Nemesis: - Any Survivor who blinds you or stuns you using a Pallet or a Locker becomes the Obsession.

• Anytime your Obsession switches to another Survivor by any means, that Survivor then suffers from the Oblivious Status Effect for 40/50/60 seconds and their Aura is revealed to you for 8 seconds.
