Being pulled while unhooking
Has any other survivor experienced being "pulled" off a survivor while attempting an unhook? Never before tonight have I experienced this and I wonder if it was a glitch or if it was something legit? Also, I've noticed that killers are also downing after a complete window volt or running up stairs? I've had this happen several times now and would like to see if anyone else has experience something similar. No grudge- a fair down is a fair down. This is pure curiosity.

Grabs can be done while unhooking, just like you can grab a Survivor off a Gen. The rest sounds like latency.

That sounds about right, then. I just had never had it happen. Normally I see where you unhook then get downed. Thank you for the insight!

grabs can happen in a few places
injured: windows (medium and slow vault), and vaulting pallets
healthy: cleansing totems, unhooking, lockers, generators

Grabs are a bit rarer since dedicated and crossplay. Latency factors in and can prevent killers from actually grabbing.

Looks like grabs have been explained above. I've gotten plenty of hits through windows before, or I believe I've landed them over shorter fences as well. As far as I know it's a fair hit if the survivor is close enough

You can also grab people who are waking up via a clock. Kinda obscure and not useful at all but I found this out when I had to play Freddy for a daily.

The timing for grabs is really strict on unhooks and most people fake it so the killer just gets a hit instead of a grab.
That's why most killers don't bother trying anymore and just lunge to get the hit faster

I wish I could find that hilarious photo explaining how/why this can happen, by a dude holding a kitchen knife out of his window.

Plague can do this at fountains, and pig can do them at Jigsaw boxes.
Rare as hell though as who is crazy enough to just allow that to happen.

Windows are holes. The killer can still hit you through them, as long as you're close enough to it. (also over top of some fences)

Right. Gotta hand it to them- if you time it and hit me, I applaud. I appreciate how difficult it is to time specific actions JUST right.

I've never had an encounter with Freddy where this has happened! Now it makes me think I'm missing out on something...

That one encounter, out of the months I've been playing, was the only one I had seen it- I thought it was something new! I've only ever seen it as explained earlier- as a swing after an unhook. I'm glad to see that there's new strategy to uncover, even if they aren't necessarily "new" to the game.

You can be grabbed while unhooking, when interacting with a gen, totem, locker, exit gate switches, chests, hooks, jigsaw boxes, plague fountains, demo portals, from slow and medium window vaults and pallet vaults while injured and while using any means necessary. Not sure if pyramid head can grab you while you're saving someone from the cage

It isn't a glitch. It is normal game play. I pride myself on getting at least 1+ grabs every game. It is a timing thing. To work the Killer must be very close. Learn to keep your head on a swivel so you see him/her coming and move and you will just get hit rather than grabbed. You can also act like you are going to unhook, interrupt so they start their animation and then move which causes them to fail and buys you a brief few seconds.

Thank you for the insight! This is very helpful!

Man, I wish I could grab people when they're unhooking. All I ever do is pat them on the shoulder and stare at the hook while they run away. :(

Keep trying! The animation for it is pretty awesome! It was probably one of my favorite things that have happened in this game so far. It's gems like this (for me, at least) that make this game worth the playing still with all the other junk still going in in it.
