    Dead Hard - I got it fast because I wanted to level up David for We're Gonna Live Forever. It was also the most intuitive to use, since you just press a button when you want it. (Whether I ended up exhausted on the ground is another story.)

    Sprint Burst, because it was the only exhaustion perk when the game launched and i started playing in December of 2016 ^^ (when Nurse came out)

    Sprint Burst.

    Sprint Burst, leveled up Meg to get it, on my then main Claudette.

    I did the same, still do!

    It's why I never run Sprint Burst, I run around the map too much as it is.

    Balanced Landing. I leveled Nea before Meg. At the time, BL was a bit more useful, and I liked the idea of being able to activate my sprint when I wanted it rather than having to blow it if I needed to run at all. Obviously, SB is actually better and using it when you aren't being chased isn't entirely a detriment, since you still get around to objectives and such faster, but I wasn't thinking that at the time.

    Now I don't use any, because I'd rather have perks that either constantly give me use or give me something during niche scenarios that I don't like.

    Either Sprint Burst or balanced landing. I can't recall whether I leveled up meg or nea first.

    I recently went back to Meg to clean out her items before I prestige her, and I'm coming to really love Sprint Burst! I don't particularly go out of my way to preserve it unless the thing I want to reach is a very short distance away. Mostly I find it useful for working on gens - I'll usually have it by the time the killer shows up, and the head start is great. It's also not a bad anti-tunnel perk because it reactivates when you get hooked, so if somebody unhooks you close to the killer, you can rocket off and the other player becomes a more appealing target. I've also had the same thing happen when being picked up from a slug. Not the most altruistic playstyle, but half the time in solo queue it's tit-for-tat with the way your teammates play, and if the other player needs to avoid being hooked more than I do, I can still bodyblock for them.

    Lithe for me actually.

    My first survivor matches were in a KYF and Lithe sounded fantastic. Then I started out maining Claudette, so I ran no exhaustion perks for a while... then Lithe happened to show up in the Shrine shortly after I started playing so I got it. Funnily enough, 1k hours later I still don't have Feng.

    Ever used? That'd be Dead Hard for a challenge.

    Used regularly? Lithe.

    Sprint boost. I first tried to unlock sprintboost, self care and urban evasion. Im not proud of that.

    One of Megs, I can't remember which one but I mained her for the longest time.

    Balanced Landing. Didn't use anything else until it got nerfed because why would you when you had essentially 2 S-Tier perks for the price of 1. Wasn't broken at all on certain maps or anything.

    Haddonfun was EXTRA FUN when this perk came into play.

    SB

    I really miss the original SB when exhaustion mechanic didn't exist at old.

    Lithe.

    I actively went against using Exhaustion perks because I always felt they were cheap even as a person that played exclusively survivor back then. Right before Exhaustion was nerfed against survivors I went Sprint Burst/Vigil on the old Badham Preschool and can remember running around the map 4 or 5 times before i eventually was caught by the killer.

    While unfair, it was an amusing time.

    Back in the day, it was either Sprint Burst or Adrenaline. I am honestly not too sure which one I got first.

    Balanced Landing was the first ever exhaustion perk I used.

    Balanced Landing. Nea was the first survivor I ever played, so I used her perks a lot starting out (except streetwise that immediately got tossed aside)

  • Almo
    Almo Member Posts: 1,120

    Lithe because Feng was the first Survivor I played.

  • TheMadCat
    TheMadCat Member Posts: 2,203

    Balanced Landing, as I started to play with Nea, then I unlocked the teachables from everyone.

    Dead Hard. I clicked E when it told me to and didn’t know what that did.

    Mine was Sprint Burst, and I mean the old Sprint Burst. Once the timer was up you could sprint again mid chase.

    How did killers ever catch us?

    Mine was lithe, I got it from the shrine when I first started DBD and unlocked it for Dwight

    Balance landing, actually. I used it before the "rip balance landing" patch.

    Dead hard for me actually, I wanted to grind for WGLF.

    Dead Hard because I was a die hard David main when I first got the game.

    First ever actually equipped and used was Sprint Burst. Didn’t like it though and didn’t play around with it much.

    First I actively used and that for a very long time was Lithe, still my favorite Exhaustion perk (if it wasn’t for the window hits.. but those got at least better again..)


    (currently I use Dead Hard and it’s amazing how much more easy and stressfree surv gameplay got due to just having it)

    Fun Fact:

    Sprint Burst wasn't an exhaustion perk back then, neither was Balanced Landing.

    So technically, even for the veterans, SB or BL is a valid choice, as exhaustion perk became a thing since 1.5.0 AFAIK.
