Gameplay

Description

Dash Speed is increased by 50% for 3 seconds after vaulting over a window. Cooldown: 40 seconds.
Dash Speed is increased by 50% for 3 seconds after vaulting over a pallet. Cooldown: 40 seconds.
The cooldown for these two effects is calculated independently. If these effects are activated outside of the Hunter's warning range, the Movement Speed boost is reduced to 25%.
When the effect ends, if the Survivor is still within the Hunter's warning range, Movement Speed increases by an additional 8% for 4 seconds.

Appearance

The survivor will gain a 50% Movement Speed Boost for 3 seconds after vaulting a pallet or a window.

A 40 Second cooldown between the two effects will be triggered independently depending on which obstacle the Survivor vaults over.

Should these effects are triggered outside the Hunter's Terror Radius, the Movement Speed Boost is reduced to 25%.

Usage

These talents can help a survivor to gain distance from the hunter when they are pursued by providing them a movement speed boost after they vault over a pallet or a window.

Survivors can use the speed boost to transit into another kiting area or gain some distance from the hunter, allowing them to kite longer while the hunter is busy breaking that pallet, vaulting over a window, or taking another route to catch up to you.

Because this talent is used for containing the hunters, survivors who are outside of the hunter's terror radius will have their dash speed reduced to 25% instead.

Change Log

November 20th, 2025

• Buff: Survivors can get a 8% movement speed bonus for 4 seconds if the Hunter is within the terror radius.

Trivia

• After November 24th 2022, this talent is merged with the final talent Broken Windows and old Knee Jerk Reflex talent. As a result for the merge, Muscle Memory is added to fill in.
• Like other Traits in Identity V, this has a similar functionality to a Perk from Dead by Daylight, namely Lithe. The Perk also grants a 50% movement speed boost after vaulting a window or pallet.
