If Dead Hard was banned and you had to choose a new perk instead...
Which and why?
Personally, I never use DH so I would like to know what perks people who do would replace instead.

I would use lithe as i have more control over sprint burst when i use it

Lithe
2 -
Sprint Burst. I have it 99'd most times and its far more punishing than DH is.
0 -
Sprint burst so I can 99 it and get to a new loop
0 -
I dont use the perk as I find it more fun to use non-exhaustion perks.
However I'm fairly sure those who do use it would switch to SB.
1 -
I would switch to balanced landing no hesitation. It's so much fun and makes the most unsafe areas into literal God loops.
0 -
probably Sprint Burst because it has kinda the same effect, but SB gives you more distance. The Downside is just that you need to manage your exhaustion properly.

Lithe, I already use it quite often anyway.
0 -
I already don't run Exhaustion Perks. I'd be happy to see Dead Hard removed from the game.

I don’t use dead hard much, I’m usually running stuff like built to last, fast track, detectives hunch, streetwise, etc.
1 -
Probably Lithe, Shadowstep, or Flashbang.
0 -
Either Sprint Burst or Balanced Landing.
99 SB is fun and tactical.
Many killers swing lunge attacks whenever I drop down hill and proc BL.
I think all Exhaustion perks are crutch but I like these 2 because they are also fun.
0 -
Sprint Burst. It's not even a contest. It's good enough as it is that people already run it over DH sometimes.
1 -
I'd have no difference in my build. I have the slightest bit of self-respect so I don't use Dead Hard anyway.
0 -
I stopped using Dead Hard because I hate that perk as killer (I'm killer main) and I felt hypocrite using it considering how much I hate that perk.
I use Lithe instead. Lithe is the second best exhaustion perk after Dead Hard imo.
1 -
Maybe Resilience, at least some of the time? Then my main build would be Resilience, BT, Spine Chill and Ironwill. Resilience helps vault things like windows faster so it'd help in close chases and when combined with Spinechill you vault 15% faster. It'd be like a budget DH. It also helps genrush and opening gates faster - all combined with Spinechill is very nice.

No mither

None, I'd riot and cry that bhvr hates survs until they give my get out of jail free crutch back.
On a serious note, probably SB
2 -
Lithe

Never used it

I'd just ditch exhaustion honestly, DH is the only exhaust perk I care about tbh.
I typically run Boons, IW DH
Object, resilience SC DH
Bond, Open Handed WoO DH
so yeah. I'd probably just start running BT for once in my life.
0 -
I don’t use exhaustion perks period

I wouldn't have to change anything. I stopped using Dead Hard a long time ago. The last time I used it was when coldwind and Bubba were still Thier old versions and then I dominated him in shack when I should have went down.
I dead harded through him for the window. And i just basically proved my point that it was a stupid perk. So i never use dead hard because I don't want the cycle to continue.

Atta boy!

Lithe or Sprint Burst. If I had to pick one, it would be Lithe.
0 -
I'd sub it for an information perk, maybe counterforce or alert.

Smash hit because stunning the killer then they waste time to break the pallets am miles away and can move on to something else.
0 -
I stopped using DH just because I got so pissed when I pressed it, I got exhausted yet I still got hit. I prefer SB over lithe. Yes lithe gives you more control but I find if I fast vault something I am forced to run to another jungle gym. Where as without the boost of speed I probably could have looped that same jungle gym 2 more times. Plus SB allows me to work on a gen and get away before that first hit.

Hard Dead

Considering I always get a hit with lithe anyways because of ping/middle vaults, I prefer balanced landing, even though is super situational.
0 -
I run Lithe instead already anyway because:
1: it's saved my ass so many times already in endgame
2: I can use it to prevent a chase or escape a chase instead of just extending it.
3: despite being somewhat map dependant, like the crap map that is getting removed or Rotten Fields, it has the most use ability after sprint burst without the down side of having to walk everywhere.
