IconStatusEffects exhausted

Exhaustion is a Template:IconLink that prevents a Survivor from using multiple sprint-inducing Perks at the same time or in quick succession.


Overview

While under the effects of Exhaustion, a Template:IconLink with a cool-down will be shown.

Once the Exhaustion meter has fully recovered, Exhaustion Perks become usable again.

Exhaustion will not recover while running.

Trivia

  • The Exhaustion Status Effect was introduced in Patch 1.5.0.
    • It was originally implemented to prevent the use of the so-called "Survivor Machine Gun" where Tier III Template:IconLink and Template:IconLink could be used in quick succession to receive a total amount of 6 seconds of sprint duration, easily escaping any Killer.
  • The Exhaustion cool-down is automatically reset upon being hooked.
  • Template:IconLink is the only Perk using this mechanic that ignores the Status Effect.
  • Template:IconLink is the only Perk that decreases the cool-down for the Status Effect.
