Any tips for getting more consistent grabs?

I’ve been trying to complete the grab challenge in Tome 3, however they are a pretty unreliable (and probably broken) mechanic. Most of the time when I try to grab (for example, someone doing a hook save), the killer will freeze in place with its hand out for several seconds while the survivors are not only long gone, but it doesn’t even register as a grab and it doesn’t count at all towards the challenge.

    Good luck? Stealth killers are your best bet but survivor mains killed that by making stealth killers less stealthy cause they cry over everything


  • Honestly, with how buggy the grab is most of the time, I’m gonna need it. Too bad I don’t have Monitor and Abuse and the Scratched Mirror on Myers rn.

    Ah not as bad as the ranking system, I just used the new killer ended up ranked down (2 DC 1 sacrifice and 1 escaped through insta hatch jump) but get this, they were rank 8,9,7,7 I'm 11 (do you know how many toxic DC players there are? So far the past week every game I have won, but cause 1 DC each game and it put me from 5 to 11 good job Devs I say, for being dumb, I'm gonna get easy games at this rate and make all your new players uninstall so you fix this) the ranking should be based on kills for killers, majority of chases I win (cause ya know, a rank 5 player is being forced by toxic to 11, poor bastards) so I'm not getting the points for that, I am playing full screw you mode and tunneling to hell (against my rule set for it) so no unhooks are really done so I end up mostly 1 hooked, 2 DC and the last either hatch or hook or DC that is putting my rank further down and I couldn't be happier to kill this game until Devs get off their arses and fix the game fully

    Stealth Killers, that's pretty much how you'll get grabs. That, and Demogorgons add-ons that increase his undetectable status effect when traveling through portals.

    If you want consistent grabs than try using a Lery offering with Myers Scratched Mirror + Boyfriend's Memo. This will let you see them through the walls when stalking and can let you see whoever is on a generator, saboing hooks, and what not.

    That's the best combo for grabs, but you can also just use GhostFace on Hawkins or Lerys... don't use Myers Mirror build on Hawkins... it's better on Lerys due to the many routes and doors you can take in a chase.

    Or, just play normally with Myers and Ghostface and focus on generator grabs. It's better with GhostFace due to him not being... you know... 6 feet tall. (And he can crouch.)

    Demogorgons Unknown Egg + Red Moss add-on combo will also nab you some grabs. If you place your portals in hidden YET close by areas to generators, than you can get some easy grabs. Just know that some Survivors have ears... so they'll hear The Demogorgons stomping, noises, etc.

    This should help you get grabs. I can't fix that glitch that can happen when a Survivor lets go of M1 during a grab... so that's just a mechanics issue tbh.
