Nerf Dead Hard's dash

Dead Hard is an annoying perk in general with it's free escape mechanic even though you clearly hit the player, but this can at least be countered by letting them waste it before hitting. However the speed boost can be used to duck into pallets for a free stun (Due to pallet hitboxes being comically large on killers) and extends chases significantly. All other speed perks have restrictions that prevent them from being used this way, and Dead Hard should be no exception.

If the survivor gets a free "lol ur hit didn't count" perk, at least remove or lower the speed boost.

    dud, its easy to dodge. Just come closer and do the lunge.

    Working every time.

    That wouldn't cost you much time,and make your life easier.

    And, its exhaustion perk. Used once per chase

    Gotta disagree with the need to do anything to Dead Hard. It works just fine doesn't throw off the game balance and people most of the time can't even use it right.

    every exhaustion perk is meant to extend the chase.... Dead Hard is fine and most people don't use it efficiently. Do you want perks to not be well a perk but instead just a waste of a slot?

    Dead Hard is a strong, yet situational perk. It requires skill to use efficiently. And most importantly, its easily counterable by the killer.

    All in all, I find Dead Hard is a very balanced perk that doesnt need any adjustments.

    Dead Hard is the least offensive perks survivors have. So no, I don't want Dead Hard to be Dead Nerfed.

    Dead Hard used to be broken as hell. As it came without being an exhaustion perk on release.

    Heh. Practically the only Exhaustion perk that requires good timing ("skills"!). Also, the second worst Exhaustion perk, except when you're facing a Nurse. Nerfing the tiny tiny speed bonus makes no sense...

    Survivor mains always try to convince me Dead Hard isn't good, and yet it's one of their most commonly used perks at every rank.

    Really makes u think :O

    @Perelie I mean, I'm not a survivor main yet I'm advocating to not having Dead Hard nerfed. What does that tell you?

    if you think DH is bad wait till you get to ranks where survivors use BL to make loops extremely looong lol.

    Dead hard is fine if anything it needs a bit of a buff.

    It's easy to bait out and most likely won't work more than once.

    However as much as I would like it to get a buff, I don't think it should be touched until MoM gets dealt with.

    Dead Hard is so easy to counter I'm surprised you're having trouble with it. Just get closer to them and wait for them to waste it.

    People are using it in a clever way so you want it nerfed, basically.

    people use the word free around to much, nothing about dead hard is free

    you must be injured, and you must manually activate it

    If anything, the dash should be increased until Dedicated servers are fixed.
