Change Lithe Activation

The game can be pretty picky with what it considers to be a chase so there are quite a few times when Lithe doesn't activate even though the Killer is without a doubt still chasing me. It would be great if Lithe triggered from simply fast vaulting, regardless of being in a chase or not. There isn't much reason to fast vault outside of a chase anyway. This would make Lithe much more reliable.

    maybe we are being punished.  if you had to theorize as to why, what conclusion would you reach and why?

    We are being punished for not using Sprint Burst. Lithe has problems activating and many people have issues with Dead Hard triggering but they still get hit, leaving them Exhausted. Then there is Balanced Landing having barely any trigger points on some maps.

    So I guess Sprint Burst Meta would be my theory.

    I think to pair it better with Dance With Me and Quick and Quiet it should also activate when you sprint out of a locker.

    That'd be an interesting addition to what the Perk does.

    I already use it with Dance With Me and it becomes quite annoying when Dance With Me triggers but Lithe doesn't, so I don't get to make much use of DWM at that time.

    Yeah, devs, pls. But, instead of fast vault it should be loud vault (it performed on run). Sometimes you just can't use fast vault in chase.

    By fast vaulting I meant sprinting as you vault.

    Oh, ok. Just wanted to point this out, since there is 3 types of vaults: quiet, loud and fast.

    There's slow, medium and fast. Both medium and fast are loud and alert the killer, I think.

    I can confirm that Lithe is not activating for me 2 games in a row, time to ditch this perk

    depends, if doesn't activate that means the game don't see it as a chase. In both sides its an issue, for surveys doesn't activate perks like lithe for killers doesn't activate the bloodlust cool down. 

    Just wait extra seconds or when the chase music its fully started, doing that I got no issues. They should just improve the chase code a lil bit

    That would be nice. I really want to use lithe and DWM (Kate).

    Sure. But where is the outrage of Bloodlust not activating when "the Killer is without a doubt still chasing"? You know, for about a year and a half now?

    Not something I personally think about because it's so very rarely useful to me.

    It's a great combo. Saved my ass plenty of times.

    I would like it if like would activate on any vaults (not just in a chase) AND if you hold the activate button (E in default) it will not activate. Because often you jump through a window just because you want to escape the killer for a moment and then Lithe activates and is completely wasted because you have to safe it until the right moment and until THEN you have to ignore windows and you shouldnt vault over dropped pallets. SO annoying

    Yes please. I stopped using Lithe because it was really unreliable because of the chase mechanic.

    It should probably be whenever you medium or fast vault.
