What's the new best exhaustion?

With the current changes the big 3 this time around are sprint burst, lithe and overcome. Wondering which one will pull the most ahead is kind of fun.


Overall I'd say overcome and lithe beat sprint burst in ease of use while sprint burst is the one that can potentially come in any scenario.

My feeling is lithe is going to take the #1 spot for it's sheer versatility and constant practical use/saved time. A lot of killers have anti loop anyway so it keeping old distance gaining strategies usable is always a plus as well as not being hard countered by fear monger or instant downs

    In the hands of a good player?

    Sprint Burst or Dead Hard.


    In the hands of an average player?

    Overcome or Lithe.

    If you can 99%, SB is best exhaustion perk right now. Lithe is close and more safe, at least you don't need to walk or keep it at 99%.

    Lithe is my go to just because it is almost always useful. Maybe it is not as impactful as some other exhaustion, but I always get value out of it. Honorable mention to Adrenaline. One of the most underrated perks of all time... Somehow.

    Lithe. Been using it for years and has always been my favorite.

    Yeah, my thoughts are a general player base thing, I've used to 99sprint burst a bunch but a freed up fourth perk slot killer side really opens up more oppertunity to use fear monger against it.


    Lithe is the most controllable and straight forward one you can use and the #1 perk I'd suggest new players or my friends to get when starting the game to avoid sprint bursts bad habits

    Sprint burst is probably one of the most versatile overall.

    Lithe is i think a close second.

    Dead hard is far from dead but does require really good timing and knowledge of when killers swing. You need to be good but against killers who telegraph their attacks like blight or nurse it's still strong

    Balanced honestly isn't bad either but very map dependend

    I'm still of the oppinion that Overcome is close to the worst exhaustion perks in the game

    ^ this answer here can be locked.

    I´ve seen streamers get some juice out of DH and DS. So the old meta isn´t really dead. But requires some actual skill.

    Not so skilled players are problably advised to switch DH for Overcome. Its fair to assume that the devs predicted this, since there is a Overcome challenge in the archives.

    Honestly overcome is great imo but really made me sad they removed endurance hits triggering its effect. they fix that and it'd be my number one being usable in any match. a great loadout for it was inner healing, detective hunch, overcome and DS. all the perks synergized great and where able to constantly give healing/speed boosts while keeping a free item slot for yourself


    I hope they consider buffing it back for endurance hits if ds doesn't reverted. be a great anti tunnel with off the reacord
