Mash or Time?

Lenox

When vaulting, breaking pallets, hooking, etc., do you rapidly mash your button to do those actions or try to time them?

if the hook's getting swarmed, I'll mash, but usually, I'll just time.

I'm not even sure. I dont really pay attention how i press the buttons but i have done both

I definitely mash, this is how I often accidentally fast jump into a locker instead of vault the window 🤨

I mash my buttons doing nearly everything. I've have always and will always be a button masher. 😂

I usually mash my buttons when vaulting and breaking pallets because I never get the timings right.

I voted mash, but actually I do that only for dropping pallets and vaulting, for the rest I time.

I only mash when trying to pick up a survivor from the ground who's partially hidden by grass, or when I have to hook someone that is about to wiggle off. Otherwise, I time.

It's a shame we can't see how many people voted. I should have chosen a public poll. It's cool to see the community split somewhat evenly on this.

I'm surprised so many people mash the button, I feel like it's unecessary and just looking at the prompt or muscle memory is better, specially vaults that turn into med vaults because you mashed instead of timing it right or accidentally dropping pallets/getting into a locker.

I mash so I can get the action prompt on the first possible few frames.

I'll mash when I'm panicking but other than that I just press it once

What kind of an idiot would do a thing like that?
