PS4- Killer hits but does no damage

sheratan_mortis

Step 1 : Boot the game

Step 2 : Play as killer in a public match

Step 3 : In-game, hit a survivor

Step 4 : Hit the survivor again to put on dying state

Step 4: Notice how survivor doesn't enter in dying state and keeps running

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

-Happens with all killers but happens more often with killers like Spirit, the Twins and Demogorgon (to check for the others)

-Happens in every map

-Happens 6 of 10 times

-Happens also when hitting survivor while they are either dropping pallets or going through pallets.

-Sometimes the dying state triggers after 40 seconds of being hit

-Sometimes the survivor "teleports" to another area of the map not in next proximity of the killer instead of triggering the dying state

-Sometimes the survivor enters in dying state and goes back to injured state after a couple seconds without them being healed nor having the appropriate perks for it.

Sounds like an internet issue, either that or dead hard

You got validated

They changed hit validation with pallets sometime ago where they would base the hit from the survivor's side of things when they dropped pallets. It used to be that dropping a pallet as the survivor when being swung at by the killer would result in still getting hit and the killer being stunned.

Then they changed it to validate from the survivor's side, so dropping the pallet and stunning the killer will often take precedence. So as a killer you'll hear the survivor get hurt/hit/put into dying state as you're stunned by the pallet hit. But the survivor will not actually have been hit. It's an extremely obnoxious update.

Very often now hitting a survivor camping a pallet requires mind gaming them to drop it first then play around that, or if the terrain is high enough mind gaming and going around and if they choose to drop it too late during your hit animation they will get hit and still drop the pallet.
