Legion hit on hook bug.

in Bug Reporting

During the PTB, there was a bug that caused legion to gain progress on the insta down by smacking the guy on hook. Thankfully, that got fixed. I just played a game where the legion got 2 hits and then I was unhooked. As I was being unhooked, I got hit. I received no mending bar, injured boost, mending VFX, anything like that. The legion proceeded to hit one more guy and then insta-downed a player. It appears you still gain a chain hit for the unhook invincibility.

    Just happened to me in game (playing as legion). The title is misleading, it's about hitting a survivor in the unhooking animation. On my pov both survivors were highlighted in red (the one unhooking and the one being unhooked), I hit the one being unhooked and he was still red after the strike.

    I did that as well few days ago :) As Legion. So can confirm it works.

    I was about to make this very same thread, it was in the last patch but I never got around to reporting it. You have to hit during the locked part of the unhooking animation.

    Here's a video.

    Note the Forced Penance applying before the survivor is on the ground and before I've hit through their BT. This shows that it registers as some form of hit, which gives Feral Frenzy a stack.

    If you hit the unhooker before they unhook, the person being unhooked will be affected by Killer Instinct before they hit the ground, like mentioned above.

    I do hope it's fixed by making Feral Frenzy do nothing when hitting survivors that are being unhooked, but it could also be fixed by making Feral Frenzy cancel after hitting someone being unhooked. But that would be too punishing imo.
