Perk idea: Sweet freedom
I've been trying to design one of those "150% movement speed" Perks for a while. One that isn't an unfunny meme like SB and Lithe, but one that's more consistent than, say, Balanced Landing, whose potential is obviously a lot greater on a Crotus Prenn map than on a Coldwind Farm map.
I think I got an idea.
Sweet Freedom: After being freed or escaping from a bear trap or meathook, break into a sprint at 150% of your normal running speed for 3 seconds if you are within the Killer's terror radius or enter it 3/5/7 seconds after being freed. Causes Exhaustion for 60/50/40 seconds.
What do you think? Does this sound good?

It's quite a niche idea, but an interesting one. Might need another trigger point alongside bear traps and hooks, as one is very situational, and one is literally down to 4%.
I see what you mean, but keep in mind it also triggers in the event another Survivor rescues you.
Ahh, I missed that. But what is the chance that they aren't running SB already? It's quite a meta perk that better ranked survivors run.
It’s like SB but it won’t be automatically wasted the second you get off the hook unless the Killer’s near, in which case you need it anyway.
I think it's basically a nerfed sprint burst.
Situational perks will never be picked anyway as long as versatile/power perks (aka win on a button) are stil available.
Right now, people do not pick perks because of a build, they pick them because they're strong by themselves and useful, which is wrong. If you try to do situational perks, you'll probably make a pretty bad perk unless it's overly strong, which is not the case of this one.
would definatley counter being camped and give you a chance i would run this with dead hard, self care, and DS (before its nerf) then id run some other perk but i love this design
