Blinding Killer does not drop survivor

[KebabLord]

Everytime I play killer I am dropping the survivor when I get blinded while picking up or carrying the survivor. But everytime I blind a killer they do not drop the survivor, why?

[U. N. Owen]

Good question.... this happens to me also. They even can blind me when the stay behind me :-D

In the few times I've managed to do it, I have to blind the killer twice. The actual drop happens between the first blind and the second blind, more towards the second one(blind as in the bp for blind shows up on the left side of the screen). If I'm wrong, just correct me.

Also, the angle you have to blind at is roughtly a bit less than 180 degrees.

So after you blinded him you just need to keep flashing the killer?

Your timing is off. If you blind the killer in the pickup animation it only blinds him.

To make it worse, if killer is dropping the survivor and gets blinded, he does get stunned.

You have to make sure they have finished the pickup animation. If you blind them while they're still in the animation it won't work. The best survivors (or ones using the broken insta-blind flashlight) will time it so that it blinds you the SECOND you finish the animation.

Because you need to blind it THE SECOND he's out of the picking up animation. You cannot "interrupt" animations. But you can exploit the "delay" the killer has before he can move at the end of it, to blind him at the exact second before he can start moving. Once you got the timing, you'll be able to consistently blind killers and make them drop ppl.

Oh yeah, I remember now.

On the other hand, blinding while in the animation helps you get the second blind, since the killer likely wouldn't know where to move or turn and would get stuck.

If he instantly turns away and you haven't blinded him in the animation, you miss the blind.

Okay thanks

Ive had it once, too. id blind the killer, while they were able to move, but they wouldnt get stunned. in this patch. never had that happen before

You cant do it in the animation you have to blind them when they can move freely, so you can start blinding in the animation and time it perfectly.

There, a "guide" about the timing, a fun one with that.
