Dead by Daylight developers removed a controversial camping mechanic in the newest update as of 25 July 2023, which also introduced Nicolas Cage <\/a>and numerous buffs to Sadako (The Onryo)<\/a>. The infamous “hook grab” is now no longer in the game;<\/strong> this mechanic previously allowed killers to unhook survivors during the unhooking process, allowing camping killers to easily take advantage of survivors in sticky situations.<\/p>\n

Hook grabs prevented the survivor from completing the unhooking process and thus often cemented the doom of the survivor on the hook, sometimes even securing a win for the killer with just one move. There was counterplay, but it was awkward and intuitive, to say the least; players would have to repeatedly start the unhook and stop it, essentially “baiting” the killer into swinging and thus injuring them or missing rather than interrupting the unhook. With just two players remaining in a trial, it could sometimes be impossible to combat-experienced killers even when utilizing this strategy.<\/p>\n

Here’s a little look at what hook grabs and their counterplay looked like in action:<\/p>\n
