Blatant exploiting (Breakdown) needs to be bannable

I'm gonna be straight to the point, you need to make an announcement that running Breakdown is a bannable offense until you fix it as you did when Legion mend addons were bugged. The perk right now is bugged and hooks are down for the entire game. Went against a full swf and 2k'd against them on a match where I was dumpstering them, would've been a guaranteed 4k if I could hook people and he didn't get hatch, but I physically couldn't actually hook them anymore, half the map was pretty much completely safe because they were basically immune because of the 9 hooks I had previously, I didn't notice it until the first guy was dead and when I went to hook him if I didn't have agitation it would've probably been at most a 1k because of how many hooks were gone already. They had soul guard and I decided to bring Third Seal as a meme and I payed the price for it, picked the next guy I could find and slugged him to death. Seriously make it a bannable offense, I have seen maybe 3-4 people ever run that perk before this bug and now I get them every other game, it's not all of a sudden meta, it's bull #########. Please don't pull another Wake Up and let people get away with blatant exploiting over a month+ for free.

    They should really put up a warning. I imagine people don't use it often because of it being a bad perk and don't know about it being bugged.

    It's a shame I was thinking about using it breakdown untill people told me it was bugged.

    (Seriously please fix it so I can use it)

    This probably explains some of my games where half of the map has no hooks and I never really thought about why lmao

    If a bug is this game breaking something definitely needs to be done about it.

    I have the same problem as killer, people are abusing Breakdown.

    I don't care what mods say, it's an exploit so I report any players running it.

    Afaik they didn't ban people for the bugged Sloppy Butcher and Tinkerer on The Wraith? Legion's exploit was deliberate and obvious, using Wake-up or Breakdown can be incidental by fans of those perks. I remember being accused of exploits when I ran Wake-up during the bugged window and had no idea there was an issue with it. I used it alongside NOLB, Hope, and that other end-game perk so it was obvious yet still got hatemail.

    Honestly I just thought I was going crazy. Glad to see someone else talking about the bug.

    That's also why the pallet stun situation isn't bannable either, which has been also requested to be bannable

    Huh,why would he mention the pallet stun thing?

    It's not like you could abuse it on purpose.

    you actually can; it's all a matter of timing when you lunge. it's not that difficult to do so if you learn the timings.

    Exploit is exploit and just because its a perk and not a add on, doesnt mean it shouldnt be bannable. It should be disabled and if not they SHOULD ban for it, no matter if its a perk, addon, cosmetic or whatever. You do it to gain a unfair advantage.



    Sure there are some people who doesnt know about it and just want to use it (happened to me with the speed nurse) and thats why they should just disable it entirely or atleast make a message ingame.

    Allow me to direct your eyes here:

    Edit: Because I know someone will come here like "defending an exploit cause it's for a survivor so entitled"- it still has to be fixed ASAP and I completely agree it should be disabled until they can get a fix for it, however that's probably why it's not being banned for.

    I would like to highlight:

    it still has to be fixed ASAP and I completely agree it should be disabled until they can get a fix for it

    So, I literally agreed with what you just said, in which case, why bother to comment?

    What if this is an unannounced buff? When was the last time a survivor wiggled free in your matches? Hooks are way too close together and I would love it if Breakdown caused permanent damage.

    I respect the developers' decision not to ban anyone, and I do not feel that anyone should receive a ban for using Breakdown as they may not be aware of the glitch. However, it really would be best to disable the perk until the developers can fix it. As people continue talking about the glitch, the number of players using Breakdown will only increase, which may become quite problematic.

    Feh, let them run it. I'll just bring back the old slugging builds to compensate - then we'll see who gets the last laugh.

    Knock Out and Deer Stalker anybody?

    I know one thing for sure, respawning hooks makes it too easy. They even respawn very quickly when saboed. Killers need to have a reason to use iron grasp.

    I know, i just wanted to say what i think about it.


    I mean, isnt that for what the forums exists?

    Sorry if it sounded like i were disagreeing with you or anything like that.

    Survivors need to have a reason to use Breakout, Flip-Flop, etc

    I now understand why so many of the survivors I matched with today suddenly had No Mither.

    Also: this is a good example of an instance where you should be able to report someone. Just because it isn't always possible to know that someone's exploiting a bug on purpose, that doesn't mean it isn't ever possible to know. Four people who show up with Breakdown and run to the same corner like that are clearly doing it on purpose.

    Mhm, this is where reporting should actually be necessary. Unfortunately, they were all on console (except one) and I was on PC so I don't think I could have gotten them punished. Correct me if I'm wrong so I can try reporting console players next time something like this happens.

    I made a big mistake by not reporting them.

    This is my fault for wishing Breakdown got a buff. BHVR went and took it too far, and now all hell broke loose.

    I have no issues with it. Hooks are 5-10 meters away from each other. And it can only get rid of a max of 12 out of like 40.

    No.

    They will not ban survivor.

    It will be something like break down tech not a bug.
