Anti-Tunnel Divert

The build

These four perks work together as a anti-tunnel survivor setup. Each slot has a job; together they form a closed loop.

Why it works

Dead Hard (David King) is the king of anti-tunnel - when you're injured, an active ability press during a chase dash grants Endurance, which means you can take a hit and not go down. Off The Record (Zarina Kassir) gives 4/6/8 seconds of Endurance, hidden auras, and silent grunts when unhooked - the Killer literally can't find you after the unhook. Decisive Strike stuns the Killer for 5 seconds if you can hit a skill check when picked up. Unbreakable lets you recover once. Together, you become the bane of tunnelling Killers.
