If any Hex Totem is destroyed, the auras of all survivors will be revealed for 15 seconds.
How to play Deathslinger?
If you choose to play Deathslinger, you are in for an easier task.
Unlike other ranged killers,he has a crosshair.
This makes it easy to target a survivor with it.
In addition, his harpoon is smaller than the Huntress' axe and more accurate than Trickster’s blades.
Thanks to this you could easily shoot through small holes.
The downside is that you have to reload the weapon after each shoot.It makes you lose valuable time.
This is because during reloading your movement is slowed down.
Therefore, you have to judge very carefully whether you have a chance of a precise hit.
