Houndmaster Expectation vs. Reality (+ suggestion)

So I understand that you cant have a real dog in the game, but there is a few places where Snugs actions don't make much sense as an Attack Dog and I discussed this with friends and they agreed so it might be worth looking into to make a Killer meet those expectations.

Snug does not seem to Dog Grab Survivors even on collision unless its in a directed by the Attack command.
I was wondering if this could be changed to make Snug trigger Dog Grab at any time, even by your side or during a search, I think it would go a huge way to make Snug feel much more like a threat.

I think this would be a much better way to handle Snug and I dont think it would be a huge problem since Survivors have somewhat control on where they can go. Anyway bHVR if Houndmaster needs a buff in the future you should go with this as it really finishes off the concept of a Killer with an Attackdog nicely. I would prefer this being enabled and then you balance it.

Thanks for listening.

    I suppose the potential issue here is you prop Snug at a vault location in search mode, then loop normally and you basically have an automated Trapper trap...

    Might be fine considering you can pallet stun Snug to get him to let go... 🤔

    If she needs buffing, might be a buff worth considering.
