Best Way to Escape Killers without an exhaustion related perk

Hello all,

New to the game, I often find it difficult to escape the clutches of the killer if there are any pallets or good loops around.

I have a bunch of low level survivors and only one or two have sprint burst or balanced landing. What is the best way or perks to have to help me escape the killer, until I get DS or lithe or something.

Thank you

    I try that method but when I get into a chase, typically at the end of rounds, most pallets in the area are broken. Its only a matter of time before I am swatted down.

    FYI, I am not high enough to get those perks on other chars yet.

    Is there loops that you can use on every map without needing exhaustion perks?

    Any loop you may run without exhaustion. Most survivors extend time of looping with Dead hard but it not nessessary. If pallets are broken T-L wall you can use without pallet but not for long against good killers. The secret of good chase is change the tile everytime you reach the point when killer is far from you in the current tile. While he looking for you in this tile you have time to gain distance untill he realised you leave. But if there is no pallet the safety of tile is minimal and it's harder to mindgame because killer just gonna bloodlust you. It sucks when your teammates camp pallets and waste it without trying to run a round.

    So when you have no pallets you can only rely on windows and distance. Holding W sometimes waste more killer's time than looping around one tile.

    Fair enough, I guess I have to get lucky with the chase until I get higher levels to avoid getting swatted.

    I dislike knowing I'm going down and I haven't bought the team much time haha

    Thanks for your comments :)
