You’re supposed to plan ahead to not get trapped, there’s a very obvious warning period before it happens.
Also this effect got its teeth kicked out in HV 2.0, it’s a complete joke now. Used to be 7 images around you with only one safe direction out, not 3 or 4 barely attempting to get in your way. It used to make Pained actually difficult to put on, now that mask is free. Feels like the disorient for hitting them is shorter too.
