Something I just Learned. Wiggle Bar Progress Regresses while Slugged.

Not sure if this is widespread knowledge and I just live under a rock but if you're slugged the wiggle bar will slowly regress. I always thought that if a killer dropped you then you always have that progress on the bar even if you're slugged for almost the full 4 minutes.

Has this always been a mechanic and I just never knew? Are there any other weird mechanics in the game that you know that people might not?

I know a couple others

-You can lightburn a Nurse while she is charging a blink

-If Myers is using Judith's tombstone, his left hand will remain open in tier 2 and tier 3. Some of his other add-ons as well as Play With Your Food can also affect his hand.

It just kind of boggles my mind that I've been playing this game for about a year and half now and I never knew this and that there might be other mechanics that I don't know about as well.

    Been playing for 4 years, (since beta) learned that the wiggle bar regresses around the iron grasp and agitation meta

    So it's been around a while huh. That's so strange I've never come across it besides now. I noticed it after having a game and getting slugged after being picked up once and I thought it was a bug tbh. My buddy didn't know about it and the killer in the game when I asked him didn't know either.

    Thanks for answering. ^_^

    I also noticed once that the wiggle bar regresses during the carrying, but at a rate like the Oni's passive power build up. It is so hilariously useless XD

    But don't worry, it took me about a year to notice that the sound at the beginning of a chase only comes when you chase your obsession. And that it tells you "This is your obsession" XD

    I actually also only learned the Obsession thing like 2 months ago or so. I think I might just be bad at picking up on the subtle(ish) things in the game. ^^;

    Heck, I didn't even notice skill checks made noise for my first couple weeks of playing the game so I was basically playing with 5 stack lullaby every game, lol.

    I knew about the wiggle bar, but I never heard the Myers thing until now. That's really interesting!

    I've been playing since august, and I only noticed the regression of the wiggle bar like a couple of weeks ago, during a kyf where I was showing a friend the trick of dropping people on the shack stairs to down them again fast.
