Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Hook Respawn issue

As a killer, I love that the hooks respawn after a sacrifice. However, there is a mechanic that is troublesome that needs to be addressed on the survivor side. Several times now, directly affecting me (and I have seen this numerous times from the killer side), you go to unhook someone at a respawned hook in a hurry (you're being closely chased, but have no option but to try and save someone about to die on hook), and the last person that was sacrificed there had items that dropped. You go to unhook, but instead you bend down to slowly pick up the item on the ground. By that time, the killer is on top of you and slugging you. No problem, you think, I will gladly trade hooks to prevent the sacrifice, so you go to unhook during the killer's recovery, but nope, you bend down to slowly swap out the item again, killer recovers, and down you go.

A fix for this would be to not allow item pickup in the unhook radius when there is a survivor on the hook. Please consider this much needed change as a priority fix.
