Sprint burst is used anytime you press the sprint button/key while exhaustion is recovered but i think it would make the perk more useful if you could activate it at will therefore you dont have to walk around the map somthing is telling me this would be op but just came to mind lol...

    That'd just make it too much honestly. And it'd mostly invalidate the other 3 exhaustion perks too.

    It would make other exhaustion perks pretty pointless as well. Why would I ever run lithe, a perk which I'm free to activate midchase but have to vault something first, If I can just get the same speed boost by pushing a button? Why would I use dead hard to jump forward 2 feet if I can activate sprint burst at the exact moment to get WAY more distance? The only exhaustion that WOULDNT be completely outclassed would be balanced landing, due to the reduced fall recovery aspect on it.

    Said this idea already a month ago and got a bunch of downvotes, people said it would be dead hard on steroids. XP

    Activateable sprint burst would just make all other exhaustion perks useless.

    Players make this suggestion all the time.

    No, it would be way too powerful and unbalanced.

    You shouldn't really advertise exploits on a official developer forum.

    Sprint Brust is still one of the most powerful exhaustion perks.

    No need to buff it.

    Especially DH would become obsolete because sprint burst also can be used to break killer attacks.

    Sprint burst, the only exhaustion perk that has an actual downside that isn't "Ok you can't use me for a lil' bit. Lithe is easy to activate, balanced landing is a fair bit harder (with some obvious exceptions), but also reduces stagger. Dead Hard actually makes you invincible no matter your distance to the killer. Sprint Burst is the only exhaustion perk that actually gives you a problem when using it, and is the only sprint perk imo that doesn't require any nerf or buff.
