Overview[edit | edit source]
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 reveal one's Aura.
