Can we please fix spamming L1 to make the clown go faster? If we are fixing speed aka sprint burst this should be fixed as well. There are too many killers running agitation and exploiting this.

    Wait, that does more than make him dance?! Oh god, I'm sorry survivors, I didn't mean to exploit, I just wanted to do a happy clown dance for you :(

    I meant hack aka Definition: a strategy or technique for managing one's time or activities more efficiently.
    "there's one easy hack to avoid the eight dollar popcorn trap: eat before you get to the theater" OR "He's such a hack"

    Lol you are triggered by a word. Yet you didn't even read what was written. So you must agree then since you entirely ignored the issue.

    The issue is relevant, but calling it a "hack" is going to undermine its significance.

    Hacking in video games doesn't mean that, and you know it. Stop pretending otherwise.

    Oh but it does Hence the definition.

    Thank you English is not my first language so this criticism was helpful. Do you know how I may change the title to reflect better?

    I’m pretty sure 
    He’s a hack
    and a life hack are very different.

    never heard the phrase They’re a hack, to mean they make life easier lol.

    His animation makes it look like he’s moving at a faster speed, I’m not sure they actually are though.

    Never heard of this but it doesn't seem to actually work

    So I guess I'll leave a comment here explaining how it works. If the clown isn't running add-ons it doesn't speed him up but changes the animation and he looks faster but is still moving the same. However if the clown is running VHS porn and/or smelly insoles his movement speed goes up about 30% when starting and ending the reload animation, and if he spams L1 while missing a bottle he moves about 25-30% faster than base speed depending on how fast they spam it. As far as I know the problem is contained on PS4 as that was the console it was discovered and shared on.

    Id doubt he's actually moving faster, it just probably feels like that since his walking cycle is being interrupted by the bottle reload animation. If anything he's going slower since by design he's supposed to be slower while reloading bottles.

    It is a tactic, just like looping.

    I wish it was however it ONLY works on PS4 and 25%-30% more speed on one platform isn't a tactic.

    It is a console exclusive tactic. Kek. 

    I haven’t seen this yet on PS4 but I’ve seriously faced like 1 clown in the past week. More wraiths guess everyone is getting ready for the incoming buffs.
