Dead Hard

You can take a beating. When injured, tap into your adrenaline bank to avoid incoming damage.

• Press the Active Ability Button 1 while running to gain the Endurance status effect for the next 0.5 seconds.
• Causes the Exhausted status effect for 60/50/40 seconds.

Endurance prevents a Survivor from being downed, inflicting Deep Wound instead.

Deep Wound will put a Survivor in the dying state unless it is mended before the timer runs out.

Exhausted prevents survivors from activating exhausting perks.

“We were walkin' through t'ginnel one night when a beer bottle flew past me, then another, and another. I thought to myself, “Gonna 'ave some fun ‘ere lads, let's get stuck in!” It were a right dust up, I swear down!” -David King

Changes:

• Rework Removed the dash / dodge element of the perk. Activating Dead Hard now grants the Survivor Endurance for 1 second. An animation plays when activated so Killers can see when the perk is used without the Survivor being hit
• Note Endurance duration was reduced from 1 second to 0.5 seconds after the 6.1.0 PTB
