Death Slinger Reeling Mechanic

So I've noticed a lot of people seem to be having trouble understanding how Deathslinger's reeling/wiggle mechanics work. Basically the direction you are moving while reeling determines the speared survivor's ability to wiggle. If the Deathslinger stands still or walks backwards the survivor will only be able to move left or right a small amount. However, if he moves forward while reeling the survivor may move left or right a much greater amount.

Never shoot at a survivor on the other side of a window unless you yourself are very close to the window, otherwise the survivor will be able to wiggle away from the window while you are closing the distance. If you do spear a survivor on the other side of a window while you yourself are at the window simply stand still while reeling them to you. This will prevent them from using the window seal to break the chain.

The only time you should walk toward a survivor while reeling is if they are completely in the open and there are no objects nearby. Walking toward a survivor is the fastest way to reel them in.

If anybody has any other tips for this guy please let us all know.
