Endgame Conversion Rules

• preserve hook states early so perks have bodies to convert later
• never open a gate just to open a gate; time it around rescue and killer location
• commit hard once activation windows start

Build Notes

Exit Pressure Core

Adrenaline + Hope gives movement and health spikes; Wake Up and No One Left Behind convert that spike into gate and rescue outcomes.

Save-Then-Escape

This one is rescue-weighted. Borrowed Time and OTR protect transitions, Deliverance adds one bailout, Adrenaline patches timing mistakes at power moment.

Last Survivor Insurance

Pure contingency setup. Use it if your queue profile frequently leaves you in 1v1 end states.

Swap Options

• No One Left Behind -> Borrowed Time for less conditional rescue protection.
• Adrenaline -> Hope when you prefer consistent movement over one heal spike.
• Left Behind -> Bond if your lobbies usually stay multi-survivor late.
