Change Log

Patch 2.5.0

• Updated the description to reflect that it does not trigger when the Survivor is in the Dying State or affected by Traps.

Patch 5.5.0

• Buff: increased the initial Token count from 3 Tokens to 4 Tokens.
  • This change was motivated by the addition of numerous Aura-reading Unlockables since the original addition of this Perk.

Patch 5.6.0

• Quality of Life: Distortion no longer loses Tokens when standing inside the radius of Boon: Shadow Step .

Patch 6.1.0

• Rework: added a way to recharge the Perk.
  • Buff: removed the stipulation of not working when caught in a Killer Trap.
  • Quality of Life: every 30 seconds spent in the Killer's Terror Radius while not being chased grants 1 Token.
  • Nerf: reduced the starting Tokens back from 4 Tokens to 3 Tokens.

Trivia

• It is not advised to use Distortion together with Object of Obsession , as it will quickly lose Tokens due to the regular Aura-reveal.
• The initial quote in the flavour text is a reference to "Freyja", the Goddess of love, sex, beauty, fertility, gold, seiðr (magic of fortune-telling), war, and death in Norse mythology.

Video

Note that in the Video below the Killer has Hex: Undying, allowing them to see Survivor Auras when they are close to a Dull Totem.
Therefore this Aura-reading effect is cancelled by Distortion (when it has at least 1 or more Tokens).
