Top Exhaustion Perks

To me :

1) Balanced landing (the fact that dropping down a cliff is faster than normal no matter what is so good in my opinion, it creates infinites)

2) Adrenaline (just cool to get that little boost of speed + the healing when all gens are done)

3) Lithe (idk I find it more useful than the other ones)

4) Head on (it's not that good but I find it satisfying to stun the killer and sometimes rescue people with it)

5) Sprint burst (running away from the killers when you're working on a gen)

6) Dead Hard (it works the first time against a killer and then he knows you have it and doesn't fall for it after)

I'm going to list them assuming Balanced Landing is nerfed and that Dead Hard works properly (no dedicated servers nonsense).

Also, I'm excluding Adrenaline because it doesn't function like all the other exhaustion perks.

1. Dead Hard. It's the best to me because it allows you to recover from a mistake at the press of a button and get another loop you normally wouldn't get, which if you're good at looping, can extend a chase by another 30 seconds or more even. A bonus is that the perk works on any map unlike Balanced Landing with certain maps. One drawback that can matter is having to be injured, since some killers just instantly down you, so you can't use the perk.
2. Lithe. Really good when paired with Dance With Me, still good without it, you can use it on pretty much any map, making it very reliable. The main problem this perk has is that you may not want the speed boost when vaulting a window while in a chase because you want to use the loop efficiently, but the perk forces you to use the speed boost instead and get to another loop, which can be inefficient and annoying.
3. Sprint Burst. The most reliable exhaustion perk to me because you can use it at any time, on any map, with the only condition being that you aren't exhausted. It helps a lot with doing unsafe generators so you don't get caught in a dead zone and can make it to a loop safely. You can also 99 your exhaustion so you can use it to get to another loop once you've used a previous one efficiently, making it pretty powerful. It has a major drawback of having to walk frequently, though, which is inefficient for moving across the map and can hurt you a lot, although Fixated helps making this drawback less of an issue.
4. Balanced Landing. I think it'll be just okay after the nerf. The main problem is that maps don't always have drops for Balanced Landing so you may not be able to use it, which is a big problem. At the same time, many drops where you can use Balanced Landing will give you a massive amount of distance on a killer compared to other exhaustion perks because of things like window vaults, forcing the killer to take pathing that's slower than normal for reaching you.
5. Head On. Super fun perk to me and also quite situational because you don't always have access to a locker when you want one or it's in a spot you don't want it to be. It definitely has the most potential out of all the exhaustion perks, though, since you can save teammates with it, which is huge. I feel like it's also the hardest to use properly since you need to be creative with where you position yourself and think ahead of time when trying to make a play with it.

1. Lithe
2. BL
3. DH
4. Adrenaline
5. SB
6. Head on

Lithe is number one as it works on ALL vaults and works whenever you fast vault

BL is getting a weird nerf, but its still pretty strong and can allow you to exit chases easier

DH is pretty good at extended the chase, but after one use the killer will know everything and becomes useless

Adrenaline only works after all gens are done or if hatch is closed, so if you never make it to one of these it never goes off

SB used to be good, but now it sucks if the killer respects the SB

Head On would be a good perk if it affected vaults, but still Number 6

Secret number 0 is blood echo, because it COUNTERS THEM ALL

SB - no matter how much it's criticized still strongest exhaustion perk out there cause you can use without meeting specific requirements , just run

BL - even after nerf gonna be strong and would allow you to do loops you normally wouldn't able to

DH - too ez to bait it out , useless if you have no pallet/safe window nearby , not to mention resync issues

Lithe - good for newbies but overall useless , unless you trigger it from a god pallet

Head on - the fact that it's an exhaustion perk makes it's weak , it would be much better if it just had cooldown (that would tick only out of chase)

I'm not rating adrenaline since it's not an exhaustion perk , because of 1 time use and the whole thing bypassing exhaustion anyway .

1. Dead Hard
2. Balance Landing (Before Nerf)
3. Sprint Burst
4. Lithe
5. Head on
6. Balance Landing (After Nerf)

Have you watched aaronplay’s vid “why sprint burst is better than dead hard” ? I think it’s called on youtube... he shows how when you get sprint burst to work at the right time you mega-extend a loop where dead hard couldn’t.

I’m not counting adrenaline.

1.Sprint Burst

2.Balanced Landing (ptb version)

3.Dead hard

4.Lithe

5.Head on

1. Dead hard

2. Adrenaline

3. Lithe

4. Balanced landing

5. Sprint burst

6. Head on

I’d always be on gens during the cool down when I was still using SB, and just hide if the killer was coming (running spine chill so I’m ahead of their pace to do so)... it can work with the right build but moved onto dead hard for the resilience synergy. Definitely needs specific builds though - SB.

To anyone who says that BL is useless on shelter woods : you can trigger it by jumping from Big tree in the middle as well as jumping down the basement stairs .

1) Dead Hard - it gives you another health state if you think about it and allows you to extend loops.

2) Adrenaline - I never heal, so the fact that it heals me and gives me a sprint boost has allowed to me escape a chase and help others in need.

3) Balanced Landing - I don't have access to the PTB, so I am basing this on the current version and not the nerfed version.

4) Lithe - it'll work on any map and combo'd with other perks like quick & quiet and dance with me makes it a fun build.

5) Head On - situational perk, but very fun when paired with quick & quiet. I'd use it more if it didn't exhaust you.

6) Sprint Burst - aka I'm going to walk/urban evade and be useless 99% of the match. Yes you can save it an activate it on your own will, but you're forced to keep it at 99 and run the entire time.

1) Sprint Burst: it's so good for escaping unsafe areas, with the only drawback having to walk more than normal.

2) Adrenaline: it's saved me so many times because I always get chased

3) Lithe: good when you combo it with Dance with Me

4) Dead Hard: good for extending loops which is lifesaving for people like me that get chased a lot

5) Head On: the potential for saving teammates outweighs how situational it is

6) Balanced Landing: I've just never liked this perk, never get the chance to use it before getting cucked

This is the best exhaustion perk in the game. I've changed my mind.
