Title.

Please change the second phase of hook struggle to something that does not require button smashing.

My thumbs gets tired really easily and start to hurt when I press X button (PS4) too fast. It's a stupid way to die, when I didn't a button fast enough.

Rather make the second phase "Press button to end struggle" or something.

    In their latest anniversary stream they said they have no plans to change hook struggle in the near feature.

    Apparently they believe the button mashing adds to the atmosphere and really makes you feel like you're going to die...

    maybe for your first 10 matches, sure.

    ...don't push the button so fast. You don't even really need to button mash for the Struggle State, it's more like a rhythmic button press. If you're roughly in time with the flashing prompt on-screen, you should be fine.

    Plus you can always re-map whatever button is used to struggle onto something that is more comfortable to "button mash" anyway.

    I agree I'd be fine with the struggle state being automated a little more at the cost of its 'immersion', but I don't see it as a high-priority issue.

    The problem with the button mash is the glitches the game has while doing it. My teammate died in a match earlier, it glitched when the last gen was popped and he died when there was plenty of time left to grab him. If the switch it to a press to stop struggle it'd stop the accidental struggle deaths.

    I honestly hate going into second stage. I have died so many times because I am just auto-piloting it and miss a beat. Maybe skill checks would be alright. Not constant, but still attention needed.

    Yeah, its really irritating. I personally rebound the hook sturuggle to my mousewheel to partly get around that annoying part of the game.

    I might just do that myself. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that

    they really need to idk who's bright idea thought hey gamers like getting carpal tunnel right? It wouldn't kill them just have it automatic this would also stop hook suiciding
