Dead hard shouldn't be an exhaustion perk at this point

Only two uses per match, new killers get you with deep wound for the rest of the match and is not a good anti tunneling perk anymore because once killers know you have it they just wait and bait it.

So maybe it should work with deep wound or just rework it.

Maybe not give exhaustion if you fail, but still deactivate it.

    It's still good, just not the best perk in the game.

    I guess I'm one of those old damaged souls that still keep baiting DH -ALWAYS - sometimes even before I even hooked that Survivor.. It's still burned into my memory.

    Also - I still see a lot - and I mean A LOT - Survivors running DH with Lithe / Balanced Landing.

    There are many other skills in the game that you can implement more times per match.

    It's difficult to implement Dead Hard now if the killer is waiting for him.

    I think that limited uses of a perk is enough tradeoff. I don't use DH, but I think it would not be bad to remove exhaustion from it.

    No, no , no. It’s a literal get out of jail free card. I call it Crutch Hard for a reason. Made a huge mistake and are about to go down? Crutch Hard. Killer caught up to you after 45 minutes of W Key? Crutch Hard. Huntress throwing a hatchet at you? Crutch Hard. You can’t fake throw a hatchet!

    A free health state on command shouldn’t even exist imo. Getting hit by it never feels fair. “Oh. So I outplayed the survivor is every single way but it’s entirely irrelevant because they have Crutch Hard? Got it!”

    There could be also a req of not commiting to conspicious actions.
    This way surv either have DH ready in case of tunneling but is not contributing to gen reparis (or healing, or almost anything besides chase) or do things to win but looses one use of DH
