    I don't main one specific exhaustion perk. I actually use Dead Hard, Lithe, Sprint Burst, and Balanced Landing on different survivors, but my most used is definitely Balanced Landing (including pre-nerf).

    Dead Hard

    Dead Hard only for when I'm being tunneled. I don't really like using Exhaustion perks as I feel like the perk is what outplayed the Killer, not actual Survivor skill. Like if I vault at the wrong time or get caught hiding, I've got SB/Lithe/BL to save me.

    Adrenaline

    Adrenaline. I hate using exhaustion perks but adrenaline is pretty good. Sometimes I also use balanced landing.

    Head On

    I've been a fan of head on since it was added but I'm so happy it's actually a functional, reliable perk nowadays.

    Dead Hard

    Maining: DH

    But every few games i use a random perk build for a couple of games, so i play all exhaustion perks frequently.

    Head On

    Head on is the most fun for me. Difficult to pull off and funny. Sad some killers get really upset if I stun them. If I'm not using head on I'm using dead hard but I'm exhausted on the floor 24/7 and it annoys me.

    Head On

    Every other answer is wrong. Head On is the best perk in the game & you cannot change my mind.

    I will never stop using this perk.

    Balanced Landing

    BL, It opens many amazing loops and makes some even better.

    My second favorite perk is dead hard but unless i play against the nurse or spirit its not that great... maybe sometimes against the doc as well.

    Adrenaline

    I try not to rely on any "2nd chance perks", unless I really really have to (such as getting tunnelled straight off hook, 5 - 10 games in a row).

    I stopped using DH once the servers came out. I don't like SB as I hate walking all game. BL doesn't have enough use cases for me personally. Head On is fun, but usually only if you're just memeing with friends.

    I think Adrenaline is the best go-to, as it assures a full-heal endgame + a temporary SB. Rewarded for doing the objective.

    Edit: I forgot Lithe exists xd

    Dead Hard

    Its the only exhaustion teachable perk i have unlocked so far so I kinda have to.

    Adrenaline

    I use almost every exhaustion perk except for dead hard (i try to avoid most of the meta because it terribly frustrates me as killer or is just unbalanced in my eyes) and Lithe (It can activate on an unsafe pallet and you just wasted your Lithe). Overall, I tend to use one exhaustion perk, Adrenaline, and then two perks that I think are nice or work well with each other

    Head On

    I dont like any Exhaustion perk because it is inherently braindead. Except for this one. Head On is fine.

    Sprint Burst

    Sprintburst is the strongest. I rarely use exhaustion perks, but sprint burst is soo efficient with how often it procs and how many things you can do with it.

    Adrenaline

    Honestly, anything BUT Sprint Burst. Adrenaline and Dead Hard are the main ones for me, but Dead Hard sometimes decides it doesn't want to work.

    Sprint Burst

    used to be a dh gamer, but switched to sprint burst. Too many times I pressed E to be exhausted on the ground (sometimes even after I used dh it still hit me).

    Dead Hard

    My second chance perk, always handy 90% of the time.
