Head on NEVER works

I’ve tried soooo many times to stun the killer from various angles and it just doesn’t work. Should I just give up trying because it’s a bit ridiculous. The only times I’ve successfully managed to stun the killers are when they play along and let me try several times. at this point I’m going into games and finding lockers and suiciding just to figure out the hitbox and get the perk to work. sorry fellow survivors :( I play on PS4 btw

    The hitbox is huge for the stun, but so is the time it takes for it to activate.

    The stun only takes effect after the Survivor has fully exited the locker and the door closes. That gives a Killer the ability to just totally interrupt the Survivor as they jump out, getting a locker pull, and making it useless. At the same time, the hitbox is gigantic, but I don’t know exactly how big it is - I only know that it is big.

    I’ve been trying since the patch came out and I haven’t been able to get it to activate during a chase or saving someone off a hook, even though there has been multiple occasions where it should have. Yes I’ve waited three seconds, yes I’ve tried when the killer is further from the locker, just by the locker and right in front of the locker. I’m just confused this perk has a 3 second timer before use and it’s not even stable?

    I’ve seen streamers able to pull it off but can anyone let me know if they’re using it consistently on PS4? Or is it still hard to hit on PC too

    Good. Survivors don't need more usable perks

    It’s doable, I’ve done it maybe 4 of my 6 attempts. It just takes practice

    It's nice being able to grab survivors mid-animation as they use it.

    It's really hard to know exactly when u will hit. Sometimes, it hits when I don't think it hits and the killer gets stunned from far away and it really confuses me alot. When it doesn't hit, I think it should hit. There was a video on how to use head on but it wasn't even explained all the well because it wasn't in depth.
