What was the first exhaustion perk you ever used?
SB for me.
Comments
-
SB meg was my first surv.

I think it will be Sprint Burst for a lot of people that started the game way back when, I know it was for me.
7 -
First game i played with sprint burst i read it and was like "so i cant run got it" guess what i did right as i spawned in lol.
1 -
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.)
2 -
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)
2 -
Sprint Burst.
1 -
Sprint Burst, leveled up Meg to get it, on my then main Claudette.
4 -
I did the same, still do!
It's why I never run Sprint Burst, I run around the map too much as it is.
2 -
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.
1 -
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.

Dead Hard.

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.
0 -
Ever used? That'd be Dead Hard for a challenge.
Used regularly? Lithe.
0 -
Sprint boost. I first tried to unlock sprintboost, self care and urban evasion. Im not proud of that.
0 -
One of Megs, I can't remember which one but I mained her for the longest time.
0 -
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.
0 -
Haddonfun was EXTRA FUN when this perk came into play.
0 -
SB
I really miss the original SB when exhaustion mechanic didn't exist at old.
0 -
Lithe.
0 -
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.
0 -
Back in the day, it was either Sprint Burst or Adrenaline. I am honestly not too sure which one I got first.
0 -
Balanced Landing was the first ever exhaustion perk I used.
0 -
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)
0 -
Lithe because Feng was the first Survivor I played.
0 -
Balanced Landing, as I started to play with Nea, then I unlocked the teachables from everyone.
0 -
Dead Hard. I clicked E when it told me to and didn’t know what that did.
0 -
SB. There weren't any others.
0 -
For me oddly enough was lithe.
0 -

0 -
For me, it was Lithe.
0 -
Sprint Burst
0 -
Balanced Landing
0 -
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?
0 -
Mine was lithe, I got it from the shrine when I first started DBD and unlocked it for Dwight
0 -
dead hard because it had the words "avoid damage" in the description
0 -
Lithe and it's still my fav perk to this day 🐷💕
0 -
I don't use exhaustion perks. I'm actually good at the video game.
0 -
Lithe
i used to main Feng when I first started playing
0 -
Balance landing, actually. I used it before the "rip balance landing" patch.
0 -
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.
0 -
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.
Thank You and best regards from the Ministry of Useless Facts.
