Help with Dead Hard

So, this has to be the most confusing perk for me and I just now started really trying to use it.. I understand you need to be running, but most the time it doesn't perk for me to use. Like I just got done being chased, I was injured and dead hard never did highlight to let me use it. I'm so confusing because most the time I forget to use it, and when I do remember its not highlighted to use when I am 100 percent in fact injured. Thanks for your help..

    Check that you are not exhausted from example previous DH usage or becoming exhausted by Killer Perks like Fear Monger or Killer Addons like Venomous Concoction from the Huntress which makes you exhausted when you get hit by a Hatchet.

    I feel like this happens to me more often than not. Dunno if it's my controller buttons that don't register the input of me running or the butto but it literally won't activate. I'm obviously not trying to use it when exhausted either, it just literally doesn't happen.

    Check if you've unbinded the special ability key for survivor, you have find the keybinds by pausing the game and switching over to the keybinds tab, or selecting the gear icon in the main menu.

    If you vaulted a window and it gave you a speed boost that means you were using the perk Lithe, which would give you exhaustion
