Quick Question 💜
Hey guys,
I haven't been on DBD in a while or the forums.
I just wanted some insight from people who are able to take part in the PTB or even a Dev. Is the huntress able to one shot now when throwing a hatchet at a Survivors head?

No I believe that is a bug. Peanits already mentioned it was a bug on another post.... The "Huntress Monto" thread.
?
I have no idea
Peanits confirmed it was a bug and that it has nothing to do with "hitting the head".
To sort of paraphrase his wording: Survivors have one hitbox that encompasses their whole bodies. The bug is that the hatchet is actually hitting the survivor twice causing it to appear as if you got 1 shot. This is simply a PTB issue as the focus is on testing the foundation of the Dedicated server and not game mechanics.
You can @ the fellow if you want him to clarify.

Thanks for the clarification love. 💜
@MegaWaffle
Thank you. No need to @ him. I'll take you guys word for it. I appreciate the clarification 💜
They can, but it is a bug with the early version of dedicated servers were are currently testing. It's not intentional and will be fixed when we switch to fixing gameplay issues on dedicated servers. This first test was solely to test the infrastructure.
Actually, you guys could create a special headshot hitbox for huntress, small, but does this bug
We could, but from a balance perspective, the Huntress is already pretty powerful as is. You also need to consider the many instances where a Survivor is running around a half-height obstacle and the only part of them that you can hit is their head. It's not necessarily hard to do already, possibly even more common than a body shot, and it would be a massive buff to an already very good Killer.
@Peanits I know it would be really powerful, which is why I said it would be small, not exactly head size, but smaller, it should feel like a one of a chance hit, which is why some people do not crouch behind vaults or small objects that hatchets can go past to hit you
@Peanits
Thanks for the clarification, I appreciate it 💜
@Peanits
true... what about an add on though? maybe a rare add on that allows you to headshot survivors, basically a lite version of the iridescent head?
that might actually be fun...
I was watching a streamer try to figure out last night if this bug was happening randomly or something specific was triggering it. It seemed to be mostly random when it would happen so jokingly the idea was brought up that BHVR added crit chance to DBD.
While I could never see crit chance being added as a base system it could be a fun killer perk idea. Something along the lines of: "Any basic M1 attack now has a small chance (4%?) to put the survivor into the dying state. Being put into the dying state by this attack cannot be prevented if hit."
Imo just a fun idea since there seems to be so much complaining about the current state of this "second chance" survivor meta. Seems only fair to give killers a passive free down perk.
