Lunging

Is there any specific way to lunge through pallets to secure hits more?I feel like its all the same,but people look upwards sometimes and lunge like that and i don't understand why even after 1.500 hours :/

  • You should definitely try to hide the red drain if you're trying to go for pallet hits. Other than that, the benefit of swinging usually isn't going to be injuring the survivor, but getting the pallet dropped earlier instead.


    Keep in mind you need to be unpredictable. If you swing through every pallet, survivors are going to expect it and either drop the pallet to stop the swing or run through so you miss. Most lunge hits that successfully land are going to happen after you've already eaten two or three, and you should never lunge through the first pallet if your goal is to mindgame lunge hits later on in the match.

  • I used to use the wraiths speed boost (now is bugged) after uncloaking to catch survivors off guard id go around a corner or something uncloak get the speed boost and turn the corner after hitting r2 it gives wraith like a superlunge that survivors normally arent fast enough to stop.

    not in that way,in a way that would maybe give you a slight "on the tip" hit.Sometimes you can get some really bare minimum hits.Not always tho.Im asking is there a way that you should aim specifically while lunging(looking more up for example) to make the hit connect better?(example of the bare minimum hit somehow connecting,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmFfO2puRQo at 6:54 to 6:59 at the t wall)

  • One tip I can give is to end the lunge earlier. From my experience, if you end the lunge early, you can hit survivors more often than if you'd just lunge and wait for the game to lunge for you.

    sometimes you can squeeze in cheeky hits like that at pallets if someone camps it,you just tap m1 instead of lunging and boom,ez hit :D

    Nope that's just a regular lunge that barely connected. Sometimes those will hit sometimes they won't, its not dependent on your skill as the killer or on looking upwards.

  • Mostly works on PC with a high-DPI mouse, Same goes for things like hiding the stain. On console even at 100% sensitivity, which means lots of pixel skipping, you won't turn fast enough to pull off those moves. Try looking away to hide the stain on console, chances are you'll lose the survivor due to disorientation lol.


    PC players seem to know the maps better as well.
