Trivia
- If a Survivor is in the Dying State
during Adrenaline's activation, they will be healed to the Injured State 
. - If the Exit Gates
are powered while a Survivor is on a Hook 
or being carried by the Killer, Adrenaline will apply after they are unhooked, dropped by the Killer, or escape the Killer's grasp. However, this does not when trapped in a Cage of Atonement 
.
- If the Exit Gates are powered while a Survivor is being picked up or carried by the Killer before being hooked, Adrenaline will not activate upon that Survivor being unhooked.
- If the Exit Gates
- Adrenaline will not immediately activate if a Survivor is currently falling over as a part of entering the Dying State . Adrenaline will instead activate after the animation.
- While under the effects of the Deep Wound
Status Effect, Adrenaline will heal you to the Injured State . - Adrenaline will not heal a Survivor affected by the Broken
Status Effect, but will still receive the sprint burst upon activation, as demonstrated in the video below. - On the official website, Adrenaline features the following flavour text: "I've never missed a race, I always reach the finish line!"
