Iron Will Needs A Buff
The nerf it got a couple years ago was overkill imo, making the perk have too many drawbacks. I think reverting it to where being exhausted doesn’t turn the perk off would be ideal as it would allow it to be less situational. It would allow players who like to use sprint burst to get value out of it whereas on live you’d never get value out of iron will as you’d always be exhausted. We have perks like Off the Record and Bite the Bullet which do a better job of hiding grunts of pain when Iron Wills core function is solely reducing grunts of pain.

I think the opposite should be reverted to be honest.
Make it completely hide grunts of pain, but disable it when exhausted. That will put it in a MUCH better state compared to its current version1 -
I wouldn’t mind that if it wasn’t for the fact that you can’t run certain exhaustion perks with it. At least by removing the effect of the perk turning off when exhausted it’s less situational

I'd rather buff it back to 100% silence but it applies Exhaustion itself while it is equipped. So you get the old strong effect, but you give up running an Exhaustion perk for it. That's a fair trade for how good the old 100% version is.
And not Exhausted while you are injured and it is active, while equipped. Otherwise you'd just run Exhaustion perks as well to get value from them before you're injured.
This makes it strong, but have a cost.

Honestly I wouldn’t mind this at all. I don’t play with exhaustion perks anyway because I always forget that I have them and then just completely blow them into the wind by accident :’)… but I do play a few survivors that are just way too loud by default cough Lisa Garland, Yun-Jin cough and since BHVR forgot that they wanted to address the noise balance issue like two years ago having this perk back to 100% would be amazing.

Current Iron Will's genuinely still a good option. The difference between 75% and 100% is practically negligible on practically any survivor, so the current version still works as well as the old version for stealth and chases.
That being said though, I wouldn't mind it going back to 100% just for consistency especially when BHVR doesn't seem to have any plans on equalizing survivors' audio atm, but just saying that the current version's not terrible despite what a majority of the community says.

I mean it is still decent but nobody runs it... But I have to say except when playing Spirit I never thought of Iron Will as problematic... They could fully revert it to 100% and no exhaustion and it would not be a big issue.
