What is the point of second floor Vaults?
When there is a drop ledge nearby? You vault you get staggered Killer drops off ledge you get hit.

Balancing Landing makes them God Tier!
Some maps don't have hills or any ways to activate BL unless you do a small drop into the basement. I think BHVR adds second floor windows so BL can be used, without having to add hills to maps. I think Garden of Joy is a map with no hills, so BL needs to be activated from the second story of the house.
So you can mess your chase when you have Lithe equipped and neutralize its effect, duh!
I wish it still gave you reduce stagger as it once did, or at least it made you silent when you fell from a height (even when exhausted). I think other exhaustion perks are more reliable.
I don't know, but I would guess the reason it doesn't is it would give you the passive effects of BL while potentially still allowing the benefits for use with other exhaustion perks, e.g. Sprint Burst/Dead Hard/Lithe, which robs BL of its identity.
You could use the other exhaustion to reach the windows/drops, then still have the ability to reduce stagger as well, so you can have other perks able to encroach on BLs more situational territory.
2 perks slots for it is a heavy investment I suppose...
Might be nice if this was a passive, but halved and the stagger reduction is doubled while not exhausted, so the reduction still has value for BL, but really isn't worth it for other perks.
Second floor drops force the killer into a guessing game, because the camera is locked when they vault, and they aren't allowed to see the survivor while they are dropping.
