Bug #5979

Celestial Witness Perk Description Inaccuracy

Status:	Open
Priority:	Medium
Added by:	Anonymous on August 5, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	10.1.0 / Chorus of Sin PTB
Actual Result:	Obsession changes to a different Survivor
Expected Result:	Obsession remains the same Survivor
Severity:	Minor
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	In my clip you can see Aurora was closer than Jake, yet Aurora still became the Obsession.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Equip Celestial Witness
2. Have all Survivors, including the Obsession, be within 40 meters of you (easiest with only 2 Survivors)
3. Have the obsession be further than the other Survivors, but remain in the 40 meter range.
4. When the perk activates, it changes the Obsession.

Explanation

Celestial Witness's text is inaccurate.
The text states "Every 30 seconds, if the Obsession is 40 metres away from you, you see their aura for 2/2.5/3 seconds. Otherwise, the farthest Survivor becomes the Obsession."
Lets say all Survivors are within 40 meters of you, but the Obsession is still the furthest (within that 40 meters rage). If we go by how the perk is written, the Survivor who is already the obsession should become the obsession again, so no change to who the obsession is and no aura reading. However, in practice what it does instead is make the next furthest Survivor the obsession.
If this is the intended way for the perk to work please write "other Survivor" instead of "Survivor" in the perk description.
