Xenomorph Hook Exploit - Alien Can Block Hook

When Xenomorph hooks someone, they have the ability to crawl under the survivor and make it so the survivor cannot be unhooked. This is a very serious issue that needs to be immediately addressed. You cannot expect normal gameplay from survivors if Xenomorph is the killer, and this exploit is going to cause a lot of grief to survivors very quickly if it isn't addressed.

    i was literally just about to report this. We tried blinding the killer [he had lightborn], spam clicking the hook from every angle, setting a turret on the alien and unhooking while he's reacting to the fire, etc. Nothing worked. This exploit is incredibly easy and works EVERY time, this is incredibly unfair and unplayable.

    I've got three clips of this exploit from my POV [1] and my friend's POV [2] [3]

    I suspect that this isn't unique to the Xenomorph as I ran into a Singularity doing this too and nobody was able to unhook. The area where you're able to unhook or the size of the killer hitbox may have changed.

    Just went against a Xenomorph abusing this. Absolutely nothing you can do against it. Normally a killer might get disabled for this kind of broken mechanic but since the killer just came out I doubt it'll happen.

  • Had 3 Xenomorphs doing this today.

    Shouldn't this justify a killswitch since you were quick enough to "killswitch" items being used by survivors.
