Kneeling Exploit

in Feedback and Suggestions

I'm relatively new to this game, so I can't say I'm fully up to date on things like "tunnelling" and all that, but I've by now had at least three matches where I've been blocked by players simply following me to every hook I go to and kneeling in front of it to block me, completely ruining any fun in the match. The first match was against two people after the others DC'd and it just went on for about half an hour because the other just kept kneeling and blocking the hook command, not to mention groups of people simply ganging around me once I pick someone up and herding me until the get free. I know this is apparently old news, but I'm hoping someone does something about at least the kneeling thing, since I'm on PS4 and can't see a report function anywhere.

    ah yes, bodyblocking.
    this is not an exploid, however it can be very unfun to go up against, especially if you are a newer player.
    i would recommend you exactly what @Peanits said: hit them or drop the survivor and hit them. if they try to bodyblock injured, just let the one go you had on your shoulder and take the bodyblocker instead.
    you just need to get a feeling for how long you can carry a survivor before they escape you (and please note that dropping a survivor increases their wiggle bar by ~30%). when you know the time, you know when you should drop the survivor and when you can just give some free hits to everyone.

    PS: if you do not wish to pay money or grind the shards to buy The Legion to unlock Mad Grit, i would recommend you to go and run Iron Grasp. it is a perk that is unlocked by default and can be very usefull in these situations, as it gives you some bonus time to hit the survivors.

    i hope we could help you!
    have a good time, and i will see you in the fog! (or not, as im not playing on console myself, but hey! its a nice phrase! ^^)

    Most people doing this fail miserably against decent killers. It's like a group suicide and remember no one is on the gens.

    I'm sure the OP is referring to when the survivors can completely block the "hook" prompt by standing behind the killer.

    Hit them to make them go away.

    This /\.... in no way should this be a thing... I can understand blocking the hook... but to not even be infront of the killer and "block" the hook is again bad design...
