PS4 - Survivor permanently stuck INSIDE hook, Killer can't help (w/ video)
*Note: This is different (and actually worse) from the bug where a Survivor gets stuck under the hook, but can be picked up and moved by the Killer.
Platform: PS4
Description:
Step 1: A Survivor gets hooked -> there's a chance they get stuck there for the rest of the trial.
They can be unhooked and healed, they can heal (themselves as well as others), recover and mend, they can spin in place and use items on hand, but they cannot move away and cannot be moved away. They can be hit with attacks (although their hitbox seems to be tiny, as the Killers I've seen try both missed frequently) but not be picked up. It's neither character nor map dependent, see below.
This is my POV from today's match, starting with me still on the hook and later getting rescued. The hook's wooden beam filling half the screen happened the moment the Killer initiated the hooking animation.
Mr. Deathslinger trying to help(?). As you can see from my Exhaustion I'd even tried to Dead Hard out lol
Frequency of the issue: This is the second time within a few weeks
I had completely forgotten about the first time I've seen it happen until today. I was actually the one to rescue this Nancy; IIRC her character model was floating/hanging really high up, way above her hook (her red aura reflected that as well), but I could rescue her just fine. The Kate was put on this hook only after Nancy had already gotten stuck under it, so she had nothing to do with this.
I feel terrible for making the Deathslinger DC in my match (they probably thought I wouldn't, but I just wanted to wait and see if EGC could kill me and DC if not). Please look into this! 😭
