The perk that makes you vault faster is Finesse.

Finesse is a survivor perk in Dead by Daylight specifically designed to enhance your speed when performing a Fast Vault. This makes it a valuable asset for survivors looking to gain an edge during chases or when navigating complex terrain.

How Finesse Boosts Your Vaulting Speed

The effectiveness of Finesse is tied to your character's health state and applies to a specific type of vault:

  • Activation Condition: Finesse only activates when your character is in a healthy state. If you are injured or in the dying state, the perk will not provide its bonus.
  • Vault Type: The speed increase specifically applies to Fast Vaults. These are vaults performed while sprinting, offering the quickest way to pass through windows or over pallets.
  • Speed Increase: When active, Finesse increases your Vaulting speed for a Fast Vault by a significant +20 %.

Strategic Advantages of Using Finesse

Incorporating Finesse into a survivor build can offer several tactical benefits:

  • Enhanced Chase Evasion: The increased vaulting speed allows you to navigate window loops and pallet vaults more efficiently, making it harder for the Killer to close the distance and land a hit. A faster vault can often mean the difference between escaping a chase and being downed.
  • Quicker Area Transitions: While primarily impactful in chases, Finesse can also subtly speed up your general movement around the map by allowing you to cross vaultable obstacles more swiftly.
  • Synergy with Healing: To maximize Finesse's consistent benefit, survivors often pair it with healing perks or prioritize being healed by teammates to maintain their healthy state, ensuring the perk is active when needed.

Understanding and utilizing Finesse can significantly improve a survivor's ability to juke Killers and extend chases, providing crucial time for teammates to complete objectives.
