Overview[]
Killer Instinct is a mechanic that for its entire duration will reveal the location of Survivors via a pulsating orange spiderweb overlay, that will follow the Survivor if they are moving.
Additionally, the Survivor's outline is highlighted in orange.
Unlike Aura-reading, this effect is not blocked by Lockers 
or any Perks 
that hide one's Aura.

Trivia[]
- In case of Feral Frenzy , Killer Instinct will not trigger on Survivors who suffer from the Oblivious Status Effect, as they are technically no longer considered to be in The Legion's Terror Radius.
- In case of Rites of Judgement and Blood Bond , Killer Instinct can be prevented from triggering by crouching.
