Grabs seriously need to be fixed.

I'm tired of playing spirit and going through the grab animation just to have the game seemingly lag and force me to attack the survivor rather than grab them giving them a free escape.

    God yes, I hate when this happens. It cucks me really hard every time and can throw games.

    Idea: make killers do a reaching animation when M1 would do a grab

    It happens most of the time. Everywhere. Gens, windows, you name it. Sometimes it looks funny with Myers. You grab them then slash them like you intended to do it that way. :D

    Yeah like every time I'm playing Myers with this one addon once I get to tier 3 I try to grab them but then he just stabs them instead... and then tosses them... and then are dead because he stabbed them. I mean calm down Myers a man can only take being stabbed so hard you're supposed to sacrifice them you fool

    The one addon may or may not be tombstone

    This makes my tier 1 Myers so sad, we need a fix for the serious case of butterfingers.

    An issue which wasn't existent till a certain update (around spirit release if I remember correctly) so it's not lag/latency, it's something in the game code (or netcode).

    Yes.

    I think it has to do with latency somehow.

    And yeah, it's frustrating when the animation for the grab starts and becomes a slash immediately afterwards.

    My favorite is when you do a grab and get stuck in the animation, and by the time you’re out of it the Survivor is across the map completely untouched.

    Still weirded out by that one time I was grabbing a survivor off a generator and then they finished it mid grab animation which let them out to sprint burst away but I was stuck there and couldn't move until I pressed the attack button again.

    It will likely be fixed when dedicated servers hit Dead by Daylight, it will also fix things that I and many others find annoying such as being hit through a window when I'm obviously not in M1 range.

    Grabbing has been bugged for a lot of weeks. It really needs to be fixed now.

    same with nurse when they let go of the gen at the last second, go for grab, hit instead, longer animation recovery

    PLEASE devs, community mods, someone see this. It’s absolutely obserd and need to be fixed. I’m tired of not getting my well earned grabs.

    I hate seeing the animation start only to suddenly stop, I haven't been able to get an actual grab in so long.

    One thing I’ve notice to help the spirit get her gens grabs is not to unphase right on top of the survivor. Exit phase a little behind them and grab them during that small speed boost
