Shack pallet is failing to stun Killers during survivor pickup

Noticed on PC/Steam and a streamer's setup (also PC I believe)

Shack pallet failing stuns

I've noticed this whilst playing on a few maps as killer. Garden of Joy being the most recent.

Killer picking up a dying survivor that is lying in the shack pallet drop space.

During the animation one of their teammates drops the pallet to stun the killer and drop the survivor.

Killer finishes animation unaffected and seems pushed to one side by the pallet.


I'm aware latency can occasionally cause this affect depending on precise positions, but it's happened 3 times to me in the last week (playing as different killers each time) when I'm certain my positioning shouldn't have dodged it, and I've just witnessed a streamer being picked up by a Billy. He got sandwiched by two survivors in that moment, was dead centre for the pallet drop, and got pushed aside by it with the streamer on his shoulder. Different maps, different killers, the only common link has been it being the shack pallet each time.

    "During the animation one of their teammates drops the pallet"

    You cannot stun the killer during the pick-up animation, you have to wait until they have regained control of their character and then do it. It's intended.

    Kinda surprising 90% of the "bugs" posted here are just people who are completely unaware as of how the game mechanics work.

    So much clutter.

    To be fair there are a ton of mechanics to this game that are not outright explained and not always intuitive. I cant really blame OP on this one. To me the 'intuitive' interaction would be the stun is effective throughout the animation.

    You have to wait for the killers pickup animation to end before you drop a pallet to do a pallet save, do it too early and it'll push them to the side without the stun.
