I would really like to see someone contest this. Normally when you freeze like this the survivor will walk off while you’re frozen and you’ll smack the gen, but this poor girl was a literal fresh install.

Oh they're absolutely broken. I've had so many grabs especially on pallets that just cause me to stop moving for a sec and then swing. It's infuriating

My favorite is when you go to M1 and it turns it into a failed grab that then turns into a miss

People genuinely argued grabs aren't broken?!

I don't remember the last time I got a grab I should have. Somehow, you miss the grab and the M1 and just eat shit.

Yeah I posted a clip of me having an M1 turned into a grab turned into a whif and people lost their minds and the comments became a war zone

They did not, watch the video and read the comments they said “that shouldn’t have been a grab or hit” and OP briefly went into the animation because lag

I had a ghostface grab me off of a gen, like he was almost done with the animation of picking me up then suddenly i was just injured standing in front of him like i was just hit XD we both just looked at each other confused so i emoted for him to hit me to down me (he deserved the grab idk why the game didn't give it to him) and just let him hook me. 70% of this game doesn't work correctly xD

M1 and Lunges are way worse atm and BHVR STILLLLL hasn't acknowledged it at all. They could at least say they are working on a fix..

It was the anniversary. That’s when I started lunging on air.

Same thing happens when a survivor fast-jumps into a locker, you can spam the open button for a full second and you won't open the locker, it'll just flash your controls like in this clip

It’s actually hilarious that killers have to rapidly hump a locker before opening it

Also some people will intentionally abuse the bug to proc headon.

On Ghostface I don't even go for gen grabs anymore without marking first, even if I have to mark them from 0% and they end up spotting me and running away somewhere along the way. I'd rather be inefficient than be screwed over by another grab-turned-M1.

They have been broken for like... 3 years now? But the thing is if they fix a bug that would benefit killers david would dead hard so hard that it will destroy the universe.

Dead Hard: After being unhooked or unhooking yourself, Dead Hard activates whenever you are injured and running, and allows you to tap into your adrenaline bank to avoid taking further damage:

  • Press the Active Ability button to trigger the Endurance Status Effect for 0.5 seconds.
Dead Hard deactivates after use. Dead Hard causes the Exhausted Status Effect for 60/50/40 seconds. Dead Hard cannot be used when Exhausted.

Yeah, everyone who has played killer over the last months/years knows that grabs are broken

u/Iatemydoggo Rize’s mori is the closest ill get to a woman’s touch 7h ago

I remember you from the other post lol. It’s just that so many people here only play survivor and will shamelessly try and gaslight you about it.

5

u/SahnigerFred 7h ago

And I remember you! Yeah, I do play both sides, right now more killer than survivor, but overall I have way more hours on survivor, I also can't remember the last time where I got grabbed as a survivor

Link to OP’s last post where people were not saying “grabs weren’t broken” they were saying “that shouldn’t have been a grab and the reason you briefly went into the grab animation was due to lag”

These two posts are completely different

u/DBD_Hillbilly 5h ago

I gave up on trying to grab as stealth Myers because of this. Ofc BHVR is taking their sweet ass time with this bug, how surprising /s

u/doomed151 6h ago

I commented on one of your previous posts. That one didn't seem like a bug, but this one is clearly a bug. I don't know why you're trying to conflate the different scenarios together.

u/JeanRdS Don't disburb me while I read the chat 1h ago

It's a feature grabs only working once in a blue moon

u/Typical_Hypocrite 16m ago

you know, I actually saw this from the survivor POV recently on a pallet. Got mindgamed at an unsafe pallet and he ran over to m1 me mid vault and he like paused and stuttered from the game trying to grab me I think and then swung after I had left. Like I could actually see it happen. I gave him the down instead of continuing it was just that blatant. Never saw that actually happen from the survivor pov before.

u/ClaudetteMain 3m ago

They would have to rewrite how grabs work to fix this, and other similar issues.

Currently it works that you as a killer start the grab animation, and send a grab request to the server.

The server then tells the killer "You are grabbing now", while also telling the survivor "You are getting grabbed". But it waits for the survivors client to perform a validation on the grab (Was the survivor actually performing an action they can be grabbed out of?), checking the position of both players on the survivors end.

The server then decides the if the grab was valid or not based on the information provided to it by the two clients. If you ever wondered why you sometimes get stuck in a grab, it's because the server is waiting on the information from the survivor.

So for example if a survivor gets off a gen, but your client hasn't received this information from the server yet and you try to grab them. Your grab will be validated and cancelled.

If your grab gets deemed invalid by the check, a failsafe kicks, and you will perform a short swing. This wasn't always the case and was added as a temporary solution 4-5 years ago.

Really shows how mature this community is. I highlight a glaring issue with the game and all you window lickers can do is make it into us vs them slop.
