New Perk Idea:

Leap of Faith

You gain a burst of energy to make the extra mile. While healthy and sprinting, press E to dive forward, gaining a short burst of speed and diving off the ground. When you land, you have to spend 1 second to recover from the dive. You can dive over vaults and pallets.

Causes Exhaustion for 60/50/40 seconds. Cannot be used while exhausted. 

The idea for the perk is that it would allow you to either leap behind somebody for a clutch save to tank a hit, or the main idea I thought of it was to allow you to just make that extra little step to get through a window, but you have to take a second to recover after landing to stop people from just using it mid chase. I don't believe this perk would be the best Exhaustion perk out there, but I think it could be a lot of fun. The only reason I put the 'while healthy' is so it doesn't conflict with Dead Hard.

    How exactly is this perk allowing you to mr, president other survivors?


    But a single use faster vault could be interesting.

    Say you're against a huntress and she's about to throw a hatchet at someone. They don't see it, but you do. They're injured, you're healthy, and you just need that little bit of a boost to jump behind them and take the hatchet - use Leap of Faith!
