We will shortly be deploying a hotfix to the PTB to potentially address the Save Game Errors that some players were facing. Please update your PTB build when the update is available and let us know of any issues. Thank you.
How is the hook exploit still a thing?

First off, yes, it IS an exploit
Survivors being able to get behind the hooked person and be nearly 100% safe is ridiculous and should've been removed ages ago now. Devs just changed ruin with one reason being it could be extremely strong with little risk on the killer's part, so what about this? I'm rank 1 killer and rank 2 survivor for context, and whenever a teammate does this, I will go out of my way to make sure they die, or facecamp them while checking my phone. It's insane how this is still in when things like Nemesis Legion were caught so fast.
This is not okay and anyone who does it and tries to say its a "tech" are braindead monkeys
edit; covered names even tho they deserve to be called out

Completely agree
Move to side of hook, look at hook pole, swing. Tbag the downed survivor for being an idiot.
Bug-team: We have found another bug sir!
Devs: Does it benifit survivors?
Bug-team: Ehm yes
Devs: That's not a bug that's a feature!
Bug-team: *whimper*
reminder this is still a thing and really needs to be addressed as to whether it’s intentional or not
People crouching under a hooked person in front of the killer just by accident. Alright then.
As far as I can see Devs have not taken an official stance on this, by “intentional” I’m referring to being able to do it at all.
Basicly what @Sairek said, it was called a "hook tech" and is indeed intended.
or facecamp both.
you can not get any better value from a facecamp than this!
Of course it's intended. As infinites were until it happened to the devs, as were instablinds, until it happened to the devs.
It's not even that big of a problem. It's easily countered, just look more towards the hook and swing.
Quit complaining and learn to do stuff yourselves. I don't even bother with this "tech" as survivor because it's a trash "tech". It usually always ends up in me getting hit
We're aware of the problem and working on it. The fix turned out to be more complex than expected, so it's not slated for the imminent release. As usual, I can't comment on when it will be fixed, but we will definitely fix it.
Thank you!
Exactly
Nice, thanks for replying to this :)
"Just look at the hook and swing" 🤦♂️
Me: "oh shiet the killer is on my left I better move right a bit so the hooked survivor takes the hit"
Well that wasnt hard to counter now was it?
God I can't wait until a few killer techs get removed :).
How about banning people who participate in this, then? With video evidence, it should be bannable. Plenty of people have been banned for exploits.
Well then bait it XD.
It's not hard, stop expecting survivors to be bots
why are you commenting if youre going to be negative?
What "killer techs"? The issue with comparing this to killer techs is, none of them are unfair nor do they leave the survivor helpless to do anything about them.
The hook exploit is not a tech.
How are the two similar at all?
I was being sarcastic lol
The only cheesy Killer Tech I know of is the "Grab Happy Doc" exploit where you enter treatment mode and spam M1 as fast as humanly possible for easy grabs. I used to do this all the time to win hatch standoffs.
It's being removed with the doctor rework sadly.
Oh, so when devs specifically state something is or isnt supposed to work that way, is a tech or an exploit, we cant really trust their word.... good to confirm this!
Not that I think it should be a viable strategy, but still.
Well you should. Both sides don't care about each others' fun. That's why both sides play as scummy as possible to the other
And even then, it wasn't even a tech. Everyone knew you could do it. Besides, it was always more effective (and easier to pip by) shocking anyone and not allowing them the unhook rather than grabbing them xD
Exactly. The Hook exploit isn't a tech nor a exploit as it is terrible at being both.
I agree that it shouldn't exist but this whole thread is ridiculous killer bias at it's finest
Well at least you all now have proof the devs aren't survivor sided. The survivors are given a fun, skill based feature that is countered easily by skilled killers and a few killers complain about it and it gets removed. Survivor sided devs btw.
Thats why it’s called an exploit and should be fixed so that it cannot be used
idk where the gap in logic is coming from but it seems pretty simple to me
I actually appreciate the satire in your post. Good job.
