In this perk set, you get a great speed bonus after you receive damage. In addition, your scratch marks and pools of blood are suppressed. So you can use elements of the environment to disappear from the view of a killer.

To use the full potential of the following build, you have to have a Med-Kit. Then, as soon as you get out of sight of the killer you can start to heal. That way, you will muffle the grunts of pain and become completely undetectable. Of course, there is a counter-perk for killers. It's called A Nurse's Calling, which reveals the Auras of healing survivors.

Silent vaults

This build allows you to distance and hide your tracks by vaulting windows. For it, you should use the following perks.

So all you have to do is pefrom a rushed vault during a chase. In this way, you will be able to confuse a killer and, in the best-case scenario, flee the chase. However, if you fail, you will still gain distance to prolong your escape.

The fourth perk in the set can be completely arbitrary. We've chosen Windows of Opportunity because it allows you to see where the nearest vault sites are.
