GOODBYE HOOK GRABS
Thanks so much for removing them, did literally nothing but make facecamping stronger, BASEDHVR

I’ll let prove thyself nerf go just cuz they got rid of hook grabs
5 -
That's my favorite change of the bunch.
9 -
Yup - very pleased to see this, too.
4 -
Finally! Long, long overdue, but reason to celebrate.
7 -
Happy to see it gone as well. I already see dbds #1 complainer complaining already tho lol
7 -
ikr! stil missing the mark on some perks tho lol. I was caught off guard when they went "hmm spine chill has no use now... lets just remove its whole effect" 😭
5 -
Where can i see the changes
1 -
-
And if ecg comes, with this killers go from probably 1 kill to zero. (in a 4 v 1)
8 -
I think Prove Thyself nerf is uncalled for. Especially now that BNP is getting nerfed.
Smash Hit's problem has always been that pallet's are a finite source.
Saboteur's problem wasn't just its duration, but the fact that the perk goes on cooldown when interrupted. (and the cooldown remained the same on tier 3)
What's the point of Spine Chill now?
10 -
good
14 -
LMFAO
6 -
Please don't forget to say it again when it leads to another killer buff buddy :)
7 -
also good LOL
7 -
Nothing new there. BHVR loves holding bad players hands.
6 -
Good. 4 people still alive. You deserve to lose.
9 -
Isnt that a good thing?
4 -
This change made my day. I am really happy they are finally addressing these toxic strategies. Face-camp should be not viable. This will do.
10 -
Yet another cool feature removed from the game. ZZzzz
3 -
tent and campfire w speech bubble

There is a thing. If u wanna killers have a chance in a match against good survivors without camping/tunneling, they need to be mechanically VERY strong in a chace and map control, like Blight level. But if we buff every killer to his level, everyone on this forum will cry about how killers are op, like it already is with Blight.
I'm bored to camp and tunnel to win maybe 700 hours ago, and play mostly for chases now, so i don't bother much about it, but i understand that it's huge killer's nerf since u need to play grab game sometimes to make pressure.
So please don't be surprise if everyone run blight, nurse and wesker after this update, like everyone already does.
3 -
Blight isnt op basekit. His addons are the problem
5 -
Are killers ever going to get basekit help finding a new survivor to chase, after a killer hooks a survivor?
6 -
Me playing Nemmy and Sadako , reading this and smiling.
Sure dude, whatever you say. Guess i am gonna play Nurse more.
1 -
yessssssssssssssssssssss

Best change in a long time. Facecampers malding rn.
8 -
And i will still playing Demo and Clown. So? Make a comment just to make a comment?
0 -
Excellent change. The mechanic was way too ping-dependent
3 -
And? I know Killers have the weird mentality that they deserve a pity Kill in Endgame. But most likely camping Killers will still get a Trade, unless the Survivors are organized AND all of them are alive. And if the Killer did not manage to kill one single Survivor during the Trial, the Survivors can also deserve to escape.
10 -
if you dont mind me asking, who would this be? is it otzdarva?
1 -
It's a good change. The whole 'grab game' was so stupid and unintuitive and now it's gone. Back to just hitting a survivor as they run in and then hitting them during the save.
4 -
cool change the only really effective way to camp very close to hooks after this will be 8 stacks of save the best for last
0 -
No, not Otzdarva. He was also for hook grabs being removed.
5 -
lmao, so when killer literally try to kill one survivor instead of 12 hooks game, he is miserable tunneler. And if he made 8 hooks and try to defend at least one kill, he didn't deserve it either. You perfect killer is afk killer, right? He deserved everything.
12 -
Hey, one less possible interaction. Not an important one though. It will only make saves with two survivor way safer.
2 -
You clearly play at low level if facecamping even is that much of an occurrence to you. Hook grab was a fair mechanic that forced groups of survivors to use their brains for once. Not anymore. I mostly play survivor nowadays btw.
3 -
They can't give name. Name shaming is against rules.
2 -
Naaaaaah silly you, perk-to-basekit is for survivors only. ( inb4 someone mentions bloodlust ore the basekit buffs around 6.0 which werent full perks )
Else i cant understand how all 3 wraith perks hqavent been deleted yet in favor of buffing the mediocre mechanics theyre affecting.
6 -
super super late, idk how that **** survived until now but still appreciated
1 -
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you <3
1 -
Aw nah, I hopped on the forums to get trolled. That's not nice.
0 -
Meh. Just another freebie for survivors, nothing new under the sun.
12 -
If there are multiple survivors alive endgame to prevent a trade, the killer probably messed up long before that. Focus less on the 1 EGC kill and more on the mistakes leading up to that. I promise killer is not this unsolveable riddle of a game mode.
6 -
Comp players complaining on twitter lol
4 -
No real issue, honestly. If an injured person goes for the save they still go down and even a healthy survivor making that save will most probably go down. This just stops the cluster-######### of people being downed and a survivor still on the hook.
I mean, if they kept the grab option for an injured survivor that would have been fine also. However this feels fine.
3 -
Dude, how? Every killer perk mentioned was buffed and the Hag (arguably one of the strongest killers in the right hands) had nothing but buffs on her add-ons. They also once again redesigned a map to make it less survivor friendly. One of the best survivor perks once again also got nerfed (not into useless oblivion like I’m used to, but still…) and one of the best add-ons that was already pretty balanced after the last nerf…. so how is it all survivor freebies? Are you referring to the hook grabs? Because camping in itself is a freebie for killers and if you have to rely on it you need to up your game.
7 -
That's one way to look at it, me personally I'm glad that a dumb thing is being removed
2 -
Another insane nerf for killers. After gen regression, MFT + Resilience insane synergie, MFT alone that is extremely busted, now removing hook grabs...
What does it mean ? Camping a hook as the last possible tool for you won't be possible as 2 survivors will kick gens and only one survivor will be enough to unhook the survivor.
Gens will fly even faster now.
7 -
If you don’t camp you will have a better time defending gens.
7 -
Unless it’s a SWF, and if the killer gets too far away from the hook, then all the survivors on generators will hide, the hooked survivor will get saved for free while the killer is away, then that survivor will get healed, and now the killer has zero pressure, and the survivors got rewarded for using voice comms.
This game gives zero help or incentives for leaving a hooked survivor. BHVR only gives killers nerf after nerf for camping, and thinks it’s completely fine for survivors to excessively hide.
