Are grabs bugged?

Played a bunch of games last night as Spirit and went for grabs. It would give me a couple seconds of the grab animation and then register it as a hit instead, letting the survivor go free. Pings were all green in the lobby if this is a latency thing...?

    Happens to me all the time... Was playing Myers and my hand was just out in the grab for a couple of seconds then it just did a regular M1 attack. I can't tell you how many times the grab bug screwed me over.

    Yes. I don't know if it's logged or not, but grabs have been bugged since 2.0.0. Many, MANY times, instead of grabbing, you'll pause in the grab animation for half a second, then quick attack and the grab is just completely disregarded. I think it's some sort of host/client disagreement going on. Possibly a side effect of them preparing the back ends for dedicated servers.

    It would be easier to ask what isn't bugged right now.

    Yes they have been completely bugged for several months now (not that they were 100% reliable before)

    You can only grab a Survivor if they are injured while:

    • Vaulting a pallet
    • Vaulting a window

    You can grab a Survivor regardless of the health state while:

    • They are doing generators
    • They are cleansing totems
    • They open exit gates
    • They go inside a locker
    • They attempt to leave through the hatch

    Are there grabs (regardless the status) while chest search and hook sabotage?

    They've been bugged for months now and probably put on the "Killer issues we'll fix in about a year or two" list.
