Is sprint burst a meta perk?
just trying to find out to see if I should use it because I don't want more then 1 meta perk in my build.

Its pretty much the best exhaustion perk at the moment. BL was nerfed into the ground, Lithe is a wee bit too situational and Dead Hard is buggy as hell since the change to dedicated servers.

Yes all exhaustion perks are. This one is what you would call a chase extender, allows you to get close to the killer, proc it, and then run to a loop in a comfortable position that you can decide now that you are much faster then the killer for a good amount of time.

The Distance-based Exhaustion perks are all considered to be meta (Head On is more of a popular novelty that can be a powerful tool when coordinated well). Sprint Burst is one of the most popular out of these because it's easily available and pretty easy to use (plus it can be used basically anywhere without special activation conditions).
Though if you're truly concerned with having too many meta perks in your build, I'd suggest ditching the big second-chances instead of restricting yourself from using Exhaustion perks.

I honestly prefer lithe so that I can run around. If I can't get to a window I'm in for hurt but I prefer the trade off to be able to run around.

The real question is why are you so against running more than 1 meta perk? And why do you have to ask people if something is meta? Just run whatever you want, who cares if you run the meta or not if you find it fun to use?

Sprint burst is much better than Dead Hard if you know how to use it, it's the best exhaustion perk imo.

Well the reason I ask is because I have heard a lot of discussions of how its overpowered to run multiple meta perks. So i thought that if I just run at least one to make it more fair. Should I stop doing this?

i mean kinda... it works better against stealth killers like wraith and pig but it can be unreliable by activating when you don't want it to and forcing you to walk around which waists. combined with fixated and it's a bit better but you would be better off using dead hard or lithe

You should just run whatever you like... Killers have their own meta too.

Sprint Burst is the best exhaustion perk in the game but I prefer Dead Hard.

If you find running more than one of the "meta" perks to be fun, do it, doesn't make it any more or less fair. The killer definitely doesn't care, they're bringing ruin+undying with an ebony mori. Run whatever you find the most fun, meta or not.

Personally I feel that it is very meta.
When I play killer I find more people have SB than any other exhaustion perk.
