What I learned this past rank reset

dead hard is used a ton at mid ranks. 

At red ranks it’s useless because against good killers you’ll get away with it once. 

Just like decisive strike. If you’re not good at chases, it’s a wasted perk slot. Might as well use a stealth perk instead.

    Basically this.
    I know DH can be useful for other things but it's a perk that never suited my playstyle, i'm not a big fan of exhaustion/1 time use perks (except for adrenaline and balanced landing).
  • It can be used to make 1 more loop even if you mess up. At red ranks its less about the dodge and more about that last second boost it gives you. It's actually quite effective. It allows the player to make a mistake and carry out pallet looping for a while longer.

    I came here to write this.

    Also, being able to get away from the killer for once is more than enough. If you think about it, DS does the same thing. (DS is OP for other reasons though, I don't want to mention them here)

    Dead hard is useless if bad survivors run it. This perk becomes relevant if a good survivor uses it since it might prolong the chase as much as 30-60 seconds.

  • Thing is Dead Hard is nothing but a minor inconvenience against Nurse, Spirit, Hag, Clown etc

    Against someone like LF or Freddy who can't do ######### at loops though, it can easily drag out the chase for much much longer.
