Dead Hard with XBOX Controller

[tabbytwitchett]

Recently I bought Dead Hard from the Shrine of Secrets and I leveled up Jake and Claudette so that they both have the Dead Hard perk. I play with an XBox controller because I find it easier for me personally - however when I have Dead Hard selected as one of the perks for either of them and am in game I can't use Dead Hard, even when injured and in a chase. It doesn't come up on the bottom as an option like Self Heal does. I thought that maybe it conflicted with a button that I use for another command so I went to the controls and changed the activate ability button to X, which is not selected for anything else but still nothing. How can I get this to work for me?

I don't own the game on Xbox but are you running directly forward when trying to use? On PC you have to be pressing W for it to work while injured.

I know that Dead Hard activates with the X button on PS4. It should be the A button, when translating to Xbox. You need to be injured + sprinting before you can use it, and you can't be exhausted.

just keep in mind you have to be sprinting for it to work, when i had it i didn't have any issues and i use a 360 controllers as survivor

you will not activate the Dead hard unless it running.
When you are chased by the killer. pressing the button with the running always running when you take action activates Dead hard.

Even if you do not do anything, pressing the button when running is Dead hard.

If you are running Xbox controller, the Dead Hard command is the A button. (You are running is the invocation condition)

Even if there is a trap in front of the eyes, even if the killer blocks the way, you can go through if you activate the Dead Hard.
(Of course if it does not run it will not be activated even if the use button of the dead hard is pressed.)

If you are using lithe, sprint burst and dead hard with together, it wont work. Read information about perks.

Lithe still works, so does Balanced Landing. They can be used on the same build, they just can't be activated at the same time due to Exhaustion. The only perk that has no synergy would be Sprint Burst because its activation is automatic and can't really be influenced by the player, like the other perks can.

Thank you so much - I have sprint burst on both and it makes sense to me now that I would be unable to use it since they are exhausted ... Thank you to everyone who helped me out :)

dead hard is still broken on xbox pad - 50% of time while running and not exhausted there is no prompt to use it at all. PrEtTy GoOd JoB!
