Background Player
You forget about me? - Renato Lyra
Description
This description is based on the changes announced for or featured in the upcoming Patch 8.0.0You are not usually the centre of attention and in some cases, this can be a good thing.
Whenever another Survivor is picked up, Background Player activates for 10 seconds.
Starting to run while it is active causes the following effect:
- Grants a +50 % Haste Status Effect for 5 seconds.
Background Player causes the Exhausted Status Effect for 30/25/20 seconds.
Background Player cannot be used when Exhausted.

Our take
Exhaustion perk. Exhaustion perks are the backbone of any chase build. They give a one-shot burst of speed, after which you are locked out of other exhaustion perks for a duration.
How to use it Background Player is at its best when used to break line of sight - drop a pallet first, vault, then trigger it. Avoid using it at the start of a chase or in open ground where the Killer will just swing through it.
Best for Solo queue survivors who need a reliable chase escape. Pairs with any build that gives you pallet or vault value to extend the chase after the speed burst ends.
