Strategy[]
Rewarding an aggressive or tactical playstyle, this perk allows the victims to drastically slow down the family's progress on levelling up Grandpa's Sonar ability. The effectiveness shows in the later stages of the game when Grandpa has been fed to level 3-5 as you can completely ruin all the hard work the family has done harvesting blood. It is recommended to bring this perk when the family consists of heavy harvesting members such as Cook, Sissy, and even Hitchhiker. Sissy and Cook are able to gather blood rather quickly so it would be useful at slowing their progress enough to buy you and your teammates valuable time.
