Exhaustion add-ons

I've played DBD for years and I’ve been at rank 1 on both sides plenty of times. But sometimes this game is just so bad. Why do some killers have an add on where they can cause exhaustion for 30 seconds, some might even be 40 seconds??

This whole day I’ve just been versing killers who camp everybody, proxy camp and then tunnel, or use those annoying addons (on the huntress and clown). It makes no sense, it totally gets rid of a whole perk/setup. AND FOR 30 SECONDS?? I can understand 5, maybe 10. So I have to work a little bit to get my perk back, but there’s no way I’m looping a rank 1 killer for over a minute maybe even 2 (because 30 seconds out of that minute or 2 minutes, you have to be walking and sometimes you can’t be walking while looping the killer.

It’s ridiculous. I could maybe understand if these were ultra rare addons but they are common and uncommon! And with the clown, he can throw the bottle at you from a pretty far distance, or just throw it when he’s close, and not only do you walk way slower you get to be exhausted for a long time. He injures you and then when he gets close to you again, he throws a bottle and easily catches up to you and downs you. I find these addons to be so ridiculous and I wonder how they are still in the game

    Did you happen to play against a Exhausted add-on Clown today?

    Well now think for a second maybe it's to possibly counter the OP survivor perks that they slap exhaustion on to make them less OP, because if it's only these two killers then that's not much because one isn't played too much and the other is and most people I don't think run exhaustion on huntress over like irihead or one of the belts or faster reload.

    While running, the effect of fatigue should definitely be reduced.The killers need to secure a smaller portion of the chase, rather than guaranteeing an entire chase.(only for add-ons)

    Exhaustion perks are so strong any survivor runs at least one. Would be great if all killers had hard counter to it with 30s exhaustion, so maybe survivors will think if they even want to use perk they'll probably never use in the match. I don't use any type of exhaustion perk and i don't have any problems with these add-ons and i'm doing pretty well because im not a potato

    The killer main roams the forum as the troll survivor(ignore)

    The addon existed back when exhaustion recovered while sprinting. Doctor lost his exhaustion addon with his rework and no new killers have gained exhaustion addons. I imagine both Huntress and Clown will lose their exhaustion addons when the devs update their addons.

    Obviously you didn’t even read anything so why bother to post a useless comment

    I was just wondering, since I went against a bunch of Survivors who were not happy when they found out Clown has Exhaustion add-ons today, I merely wondered if you were one of them.

    Oh I thought you were being toxic, but yes I went up against a few clowns and huntress that day. In my original post I said I went up against a bunch of them

    At the start or a bit after i dont remember exactly when exaustion perk use the be on a 20 sec cd and you could regain the cd while running so exaustion addon was the answer to that.

    Now if you think then they should remove those perk because the exaustion perk are less powerful than they used to be forget it if they do that killer will complain about the enduring nerf they did when they rework ds

    the exhaust addons are outdated and I think they will be reworked soon. Exhaust addons existed cause survivors could recover from it while running back in the old days

    Define "soon". Moris and keys are supposed to be getting reworked "soon" too.. right? How many months have we heard that? Correct me if I'm wrong, but nothing different in the new PTB about moris or keys?

    You forgot the Devs mentioned they want every killer to have 2 pink addons. We expected 2 pink addons on Billy and Bubba but also ended up with a whole addon rework for them and even power.

    Clown rework is on its way tho its not on their priority list that apply to keys and moris too. I think their staff team are pretty busy with the graphic rework and other stuff right now. It will probaly take some time.

    I guess soon was a poor choice of word my bad.

    I wouldn't expect Mori and Keys to be updated along with a new chapter. I expect that update to come in a mid chapter.

    Exhaustion add-ons are still in the game to force you to rely on your skill and not a perk to survive. If you need an Exhaustion to survive chases, then that's entirely on you and you deserve to be punished for it. Clown, Huntress, Pig and Demogorgon should keep theirs and Doctor should get his back somehow. I wouldn't mind if every Killer had a way of inflicting Exhaustion on Survivors. It'll separate the actual good Survivors from the ones who get carried.

    Except when a clown throws a bottle at you and you move very slowly and you get exhausted. And then the clown keeps throwing a bottle at you any chance he gets and can easily catch up. So obviously you don’t know a thing of what you’re talking about. We are talking red ranks here, not little boy green ranks buddy. You’re a bad troll

    You can choose to not use Exhaustion perks, that way they wont have any effect on you.

  • SnakeSound222
    SnakeSound222 Member Posts: 4,467

    Exhaustion doesn't go down in a chase so only one bottle is necessary. He's throwing those extra bottles to catch up quicker, which would mean your problem is with Clown more than the add-on. Honestly it sounds like you ran into a lot of Clowns with this add-on and you're taking your frustrations out on the forums.

    Also a lot of red rank players would agree that you shouldn't rely on Exhaustion perks to do good as Survivor.
