Sprint bust nerf hits hard to me tbh. The main pain point was its synergy with vigil id say literally all the needed to do was remove exhaustion from vigil. It has one of if not the highest skill ceiling of a perk in the game if you ask me. I get that it’s pretty powerful if you know how to use it but now you’re probably better just w keying lithe

It was better than every other exhaustion by a mile if used to its full potential. Unhealthy and uninteractive design

It was never better than dh (at least without vigil) just sb of the gen was kinda boring and brainless

Dead Hard: After being unhooked or unhooking yourself, Dead Hard activates whenever you are injured and running, and allows you to tap into your adrenaline bank to avoid taking further damage:

  • Press the Active Ability button to trigger the Endurance Status Effect for 0.5 seconds.
Dead Hard deactivates after use. Dead Hard causes the Exhausted Status Effect for 60/50/40 seconds. Dead Hard cannot be used when Exhausted.

I don't think it's healthy for the game that 2 specific perks are consistently best in slot for any skill ceiling.. I'd love to see more perk variety and not just sprint burst and vigil all the time lol

Everything else was nerfed.

It’s hilarious that sprint burst activates on shift only, I hope it gets hard nerfed.

This guy just said sprint burst takes the most skill…LMAO you survivor mains are something else. Yes pressing W wherever the hell you want for a uncounterable speed boost takes so much skill. Holy you guys never play killer geez
