Exhaustion Perk guide for new players.

Sprint burst, let's you get out of a unsafe position. Also can get you to places faster when needed.
Drawback: must walk unless exhausted so you can use it when needed.
Difficulty: easy

Lithe: Gain distance during chase, and get out of unsafe window loops.
Drawback: only available in chase. No extra bonus like balanced landing.
Difficulty: easy

Balanced Landing: Allows for distance gain, fast travel, and no need to not run like SB. Allows new loops thanks to decreased drop stun.
Drawback: can be heavily situational and some maps lack drop points.
Difficulty: medium

Dead Hard: Make a pallet/window you normally wouldn't make. Cause killer to miss a lunge for more distance.
Drawback: easiest exhaustion perk to be countered by the killer.
Difficulty: (dead) HARD 

Adrenaline: End game boost that can save you from a potential hook. Allows for risky plays end game. Can counter end game camping if hooked when adrenaline goes off 

Drawback: extremely situational. You may go your whole game only to die before you can use it. Meaning you are a entire perk down for most of the game.

Difficulty: unidentifiable. Easy to use, hard to get it to be useful because you must survive the entire match. Take you pick.

    Why do you think that there's a need for a thread like this?

    I doubt new players will search for a random forum thread first thing when they don't know what an exhaustion perk does.

    If it's not interesting to you, why click on it? This is something I would have liked to know when I started survivor

    I'm really liking my games having dropped Self-Care in favor of Iron Will + Adrenaline. Self-Care really takes away from the team gameplay in my opinion.

    So did I. I don't know why people insist on doing it. It should be a last resort. Its around 40 seconds to heal.

    I use pharmacy. It has its downsides but also doesn't waste as much time. Also botany or we'll make it.

    There's a Wiki for a reason.

    You do an amazing job with the wiki. Thank you. This explains the situations they are used in. Wiki is stats and that's what it's for. Again thanks for your efforts.
