The knight and make your choice

1) Hook a survivor.

2) Face camp that survivor.

3) Cast a minion far enough from the hook BUT do not deploy. Make your choice is triggered.

4) They get unhooked, unhooker gets exposed. Deploy the minion.

5) You are in front of the unhooker. Down them.

6) Rinse and repeat.


Seems like it shouldn't work like that but it does. Let's hope that was an oversight in this chapters release. Makes the knight an A-tier hook camper, under Billy and hag. I'm going to test it tomorrow with Devour Hope for scientific purposes.

    It is not intended as far as I am aware and no doubt will be patched out with the next update (hopefully).

    What is really sad is the people who will know this is an exploit but are abusing it anyway. This is why we cant have nice things...

    I figure, might as well call it out now and hope it's patched out sooner than later.

    Nice how they kill switched the map for spawning a few extra pallets but left this in the game. Could have just kill switched MyC and maybe Monstrous Shrine as I'm sure it could be exploited similarly.

    Devour is less of an issue imo as if Knight is camping, he can't protect the totem.

    I guess my larger point is that it seems like an oversight/exploit and it should be patched out.

    Anyone doing this is just trying to grief. I did test it for one hook trade after seeing someone play an entire match like this. It works. It's not fun but it works.

    If they don’t fix it with this next update, I’d assume it is intended. Because they’ve been silent about it.

    I’ve avoided using it because it seems like a bug. But if they give me the blessing of silently confirming it’s not a bug then I’m going to use it. A lot. 😆

    Beats defending a three Gen for thirty minutes.

    Honestly this just makes me think they reused Spirit's code for this killer, because she works the same way. If you're phasing away from the hook, perks like devour hope/MYC use her actual position, even if the husk is still right next to the hook. The difference is that Knight returns to his original position after finishing his path, while Spirit stays in the location she ended her phase at and the husk disappears.
