Hello your friendly neighborhood freddy main here with a question about "animation enhancement" when I play killer rank 6 and always get paired with high red ranks and ive noticed that I'm look at a survivor and swing then the survivor swerves and my camera will go 180 like billy flick at a higher sensitivity then literally possible on console because of this exploit I literally cannot hit these people and they know that so they point tea bag and hook bomb cause they know they are literally invincible im a rank 4 survivor and I want to know how to do this as well as I think I'd have so much more fun if i knew I can just "break the game"

I also hate how after an annoying game of exploiting survivors they have the audacity to message saying I suck cause I can't hit rank 1 survivors who exploit auto aim sorry "animation enhancement"

    Sad that a rank 6 killer can't even hit m1s

    Are you saying you're struggling to hit survivors doing 360s?

    “Animation enhancement” is auto-aim, just renamed. As a purple rank killer who gets paired with rank 1 survivors frequently, they most definitely are aware and exploit that. If I aim for a survivor and autoaim, sorry “animation enhancement”, makes my screen turn the completely opposite direction to hit an inanimate object, HOW is that the fault of the killer?

    It works but thats basically a workaround.

    Why I cant attack? Because some almost useless mechanic will make me miss. Great.

    As Killer: Play with your Mouse Sensitivity at 80. If you can 180 on your own as fast as possible with the flick of your wrist. Then when a survivor tries to "360" you, just as you make your swing, flick your own camera around. The aim sight will catch the survivor and guarantee the hit goes through. It will sometimes miss if you are close to another object like a wall, rock, tree, generator, or hooked survivor.

    Also "bending your attack" (is what I call it) when they try to vault windows or pallets. Aiming for the edge of their hitbox rather than directly at them. You will hit them even if they made it over halfway across the pallet or took 1 step from the window. They will just blame it on "extendo arms", and "dedicated servers" so they will never patch it out.

    As Survivor: Use the "Formula One" method when running loops, that's having no distance between you and a wall, just scraping the edges of anything that sticks out. So you are always taking the fastest path around the loop possible. Many times when the killer attacks, "Animation Enhancement" will force the camera to turn and hit the object you were looping around because it was the first thing the "Animation Enhancement" picks up from the cone infront of them - being so close to the object already.

    Also when you go around an object sticking out, a quick A/D (or Left/Right) so the object you've passed is 1 tick/step between you and the Killer. The "Animation Enhancement" will pick up the object first, and force the killer to turn and attack it instead.

    360 is pressing A S D W (Or DSAW) in succession not too quick, but fast, and facing your camera straight up, or straight down. This will force your survivor to basically run in a very small circle. What this does is force your survivor to leave the killers field of view, so the "Animation Enhancement" doesn't pick up the survivor that once was in your attack cone - basically confuses it, and it just force the killer to attack any other object in the field, or simply miss.

    360 takes practice but is like riding a bike once you learn.

    There you go. Have fun screwing over other players.

    Devs, I’d like an option to disable “Animation Enhancement.” It IS auto-aim/aim-assist, no matter what you call it. And it is not helpful to anyone except survivors who want to exploit the mechanic. Killers can aim just fine on their own.
