    I have a friend who thinks killers other than The Shape have different lunges. ALL ARE THE EXACT SAME. (Shape EW 3 is longer, EW 1 is shorter)

    I don't get it, but it's possible that the animations are whats making them feel different, as this has been an issue for past things.

    @blue4zion In the past they had diffrent lunges (because of the their ms).

    @Kikki A quick strike is almost instant. If he's in front of the pallet and he swung right when you threw the pallet, he'll always get a hit.

    The lunge range is the same as everyone else it just appears to be longer due to him being smaller than most other Killers. This is why people believe Freddy has a longer lunge range too.

    @Kikki The weapon itself doesn't matter. The game uses hit detection. Short swings are instant. The weapon itself is just purely cosmetic and makes it look nice but serves no real purpose.

    It just looks longer depending on the weapon. Like Freddy's lunge he is shorter so it looks like his lunge is a mile long.

    Freddy’s lunge isn’t different either

    In order to balance things all killers have the same lunge, GF having a short knife can make this look weird, because it has the same range as Trappers machete, Wraiths bing-bong axe or billys mallet. Its the same.


    The game dosn't code an actual hitbox for the weapon, there is a box in front of the killer, when you attack anyone in that box registers a hit, and the game then tries to line up the animations, in a game of chases, where there is always a set time that a killer can catch up and get within range of a survivor, it has to be this way, can't be any different without completly reworking the entire chase mechanics. Hopefully dedicated servers should solve a lot of this.

    As people have said besides Michael until 1 and Tier 3 every killer has the exact same lunge.

    Previously used to be based on the movement speed meaning killers with 110% movement speed had a shorter lunge range.

    It's also why they changed the animations up so it's a little bit more understandable when you get hit especially from Killers like Freddy and Amanda who typically have very short weapons so a lot of people were getting confused as to why they were getting hit even though the weapons didn't touch them.

    Hag after teleporting and Nurse after blinking have shorter lunges or rather they can't properly lunge.

    Used to be Huntress and Hag had shorter lunges because of their lower movement speed. I think they changed that with Spirit chapter.

    The rest (beside Michael in EW1 and EW3) were and are always the same.

    @Venomoriginal Nurse can lunge normally like any other killer after blinking after Spirit update but Hag still gets the short end of the stick after teleporting because she has no momentum for a lunge.
