Downed survivor animation speed

Hello :)

So i tried the combo Tenacity+Unbreakable yesterday and i noticed something : the animation of the killer cleaning his weapon is faster than the one of a survivor getting downed.

What i mean is that currently survivor have no chance of getting a little bit of distance from the killer and for some reason you can recover a little before being able to move when down.

This is why i think this animation should be faster for survivor so it buff Tenacity a little.

thanks for your attention :)

    What downing animation are you refering to?
    Since the pick up vacuum is gone I have to search for the survivor quite frequently after wiping my weapon btw (against non-tenacity survivors)

    the animation of getting downed. ^^
    if you take a closer look you will see that it's longer than the animation for the killer cleaning his weapon.
    So basically you have no chance to get away even a bit.

    no just make Tenacity actually viable.
    test it you will see that killer will clean his weapon and grab you before you can even move away.

    What would be the point of moving since, well, he just downed you anyway, in front of him ?

    After I wipe my weapon, how do you explain that the survivor already crawled away from teh position he was downed? Not sure whether I understand you

    For.. What use exactly ?
    I just don't get the point except if you really value a killer "extra step" as a "viable time waste" mecanically speaking.

    Even if you are able to some distance it won't allow you to use your unbreakable anyway, unless you get a surivor distracting the killer will you are picking yourself up that is.
    And you don't need to "get a little bit of distance" for another survivor to distract the killer

    well if you get that extra time you can lose the killer and use unbreakable especially with tenacity.
    i'm a killer main but when i discovered this animation issue i understand how unfair it is for survivors ^^

    Sorry to burst your bubble but it's not in animation issue tenacity was never meant to help you get away upon being downed immediately it's to help prevent slugging same thing with unbreakable the only time it's useful is it the killers got distracted of something like breaking a pallet or dealing with another survivor.

    The point of the matter is once you get down it's a pretty much a guaranteed pick up unless a distraction happens.

    That's why there's such situational perks if the killer picks up immediately they're pointless.
