You need to trick them to turn to one side and lunge in the direction of the hook to hit them. It's really stupid to do this after all.

I just commented on your other thread, but for the sake of anyone else reading this I'll just reiterate that the devs are aware of this, it's not intended, and they're planning a fix for it in a future update.

I like when survivors "hook tech" (oooo that terminology sends shivers down my spine). 2 people off gens makes me smile. :)

@Fibijean I wanted to write bug report but write here not specially but thanks for answer :D

not a bug, but determined unintended exploit. when you see them doing this start recording them doing it, report it as using an exploit then follow up with a ticket and links or upload a clip to them.

I've never heard of anyone being banned for using hook tech. Has it been confirmed that it's bannable?
0 -
my recolection was that it was stated on a dev stream recently it was. i'd have to go find it before but i've been hearing others ALSO talking about hearing it.
0 -
If you come across it, I'd be interested to see it. I know it was talked about in the stream before last, but I don't remember any mention of banning people for it.

They always put an announcement out for exploits they will ban for, this is not one of them, and a fix will be coming out with Caleb I presume, I'm sure you remember hooking survivors as a killer and being pushed to the side? That was an unintended bug due to the fix.
0 -
That's what I assumed - that since they haven't issued an announcement saying that they will ban for hook tech, it's safe to assume they won't. But I didn't want to rule out the possibility that there may have been one I missed.
I don't really understand what you mean about the "unintended bug due to the fix" part. When did that happen? As far as I know they never put out a fix for hook tech; they were about to, but then they delayed it because they discovered the issue was more complicated than they had anticipated.

"Hook Tech" was fixed in the PTB, you couldn't slide under the hook, however, occasionally, when hooking someone as the killer you would be slid the left/right of the survivor for no reason.

Oh I see, I only managed to get one game on the PTB so I didn't notice that, but that's good to know.

It was said by Peanits in another thread here on the forums that it is not bannable, and that reports would be ignored. It was another thread about hook tech, and it was a couple weeks ago. A lot of people then raged about exploits by killers being ban worthy(Legion's infinity mending for example), but exploits for survivors being allowed.

Might sound silly, but to counter that you can just not try hitting them. There is no reason to attempt hitting them or leaving them. If you don't leave and just watch them sit under their hooked teammate waiting for you to hit them, one on hook will end up dying and then you can down the other and it'll be their fault

They need you to hit the hooked person in order to save. Fake one side, double back and swing. The crucial part is that you have to aim more toward the hook. You will either hit the rescuer or, if you overdo it, you hit the hook. If you hit the hook, it doesn't matter. They can't save safely and, if they try, you still get the trade. So, if you're unsure about where to aim, err on the side of the hook and you'll be completely fine.
The hook tech is very easy to counter and this community had a knee jerk reaction. It's not an exploit, they're actually offering you a hook on a silver platter. Except I made more people dc rather than being hooked, when they realized I downed them even if they camped their 'safe' spot.

Theres a way to hit that survivor but you have to be patient. You can hit the hook and sometimes you'll hit him. Or you can just wait and get 2 kills because of that troll. I love when someone does this and im the killer.
0 -
Yeah it's great, it justifies staying near the hooked survivor.
0 -
It’s an exploit but a pretty pointless one just stand there let the hooked person die then get the other one 😂
0 -
I find it funny when this happens. 😂 I will JUST hook a Survivor, and one swoops in to do this immediately. I just stand there as their teammate hangs on the hook. If I don't swing, they'll bait the unhook so they can use Borrowed Time. I still won't move.
More often than not, the survivor on the hook just stops struggling.
0 -
But, will be possible to do this after the new chapter release?
With the sabotage rework, maybe it changes, because the things related of the hooks will change, no?
0 -
Pfft just don't care about it, literally just stand infront of them on the hook you don't lose points in your pips for it and you kill 2 birds with one stone. Also as Oni activate his power and you can actually swing through the survivor.
All this is, is a gimmick for survs that just want to piss you of use to get under their skin. But if you don't play their game and just stare at the one doing it all he can do is waste his time, and the dude on the hook, he'll get him killed.

Im a killer main and I could literally give two shits less if a survivor does this. I'll just stare at them until they go for the unhook. Or more recently, I look around for the cheeky bastard before I hook the survivor I'm carrying. Basically a free hit and you prevent this situation.
0 -
I just acknowledge and leave. That's 2 survivors not doing gens. So, I go find more.
0 -
I have had this happen quite often, and it's both funny and annoying. I'll wait for them to make their move in most cases, and go for the grab, which i have found out is still messed up for me. I go to grab and end up hitting the one on the hook, and they both scoot away. Same with gens. Hit instead of grab. Other times I'll walk away knowing they will go for the save then go back and go for the one that saved.
0 -
You can counter the bug.
0 -
And yet, somehow all 5 gens popped in 3 minuets lmao
0 -
Two may be off the gens but only for as long as the killer stands there so you have 2 still going to town with no opposition so they like that you're standing there watching a survivor hiding under another who is dying.
