Is there a cap on how many Dstrikes can be used per match? After 2 go off in a match mine never actually goes off, I never get the prompt for it. :<

    There is not. I have been d-struck 4 times in a single match before.

    Then is this a bug?

    Well, possibly.

    If you are the obsession and you yourself have not used your DS yet in the match, then it should pop up very shortly after you're picked up. A killer can choose to juggle you if you're close enough to a hook, though. If he does that correctly, he can block the DS.

    If you are not the obsession, you have to wiggle to a certain percentage (35%-45% depending on the tier of DS you're using) before the skill check will appear.

    Assuming you're not the obsession, it's possible that you're going down too close to a hook and you dont have enough time to wiggle to get the skill check.

    If it's a bug, then it's only affecting you. If there were a bug like this affecting DS, the entire first page of the general and survivor forums would be nothing but posts demanding it be fixed immediately.

    Yes, after 4 strikes you know that you are finally free and that the game is gonna end any second :wink:

    That's makes a ton more sense, I guess I was just used to it popping up instantly I have Dstrike 3 on my Claud and that 35% must have just been right there before I was juggled again and popped to the hook.
