Power Struggle.

[♡ ❀ KnightNike ❀ ♡]

I was playing Pinhead and slugged a survivor. Then I went to hunt another lad and downed him aswell. Those 2 were the only ones left so I went for the slug Merciless. Then when I came back to pick the first target up she was underneath a pallet. I grabbed her(I didn't grab her before this moment)and I got bloody jumpscared because the pallet dropped on me lmfao. Then it said Power Struggle in the upper right corner. I had no idea what that perk was so after I finished the game(unfortunately she got away because of my mishap so I only got 3 kills)I went to read what it does:

While being carried by The Killer, reaching x amount of % Wiggling progression(15% at the 3rd perk tier)activates Power Struggle allowing you to drop a nearby pallet that is still standing to stun the killer and escape.

Okay fair enough but how did she do it instantly when I picked her up without any struggling what so ever? I got sucker punched the moment the grab animation ended. Can someone explain how to counter that so I won't make the same mistake again? Isn't that insanely good pseudo - Decisive Strike if you can just crawl underneath a pallet and stun the killer instantly? It doesn't even deactivate after the Exit Gates are opened so if he or she is the last man standing I just have to take the attack if the survivor gets underneath a standing pallet?

Survivors who equip Power Struggle also equip Flip Flop most of the time.
Flip Flop does that half of your recovery progress turns into wiggle progress. That means if the slugged Survivor has enough time to heal himself 30% it's enough to through the pallet by himself (15% wiggle progress required).

Ways to counter it
- instantly pick the Survivor up when he get downed (not always possible when someone is near the pallet or has a Flashlight)
- when you play Deathslinger -> drag the Survivor away from the pallet before downing him
- when you play Pyramid Head -> torment him and send him to a cage
- if nothing else is possible: let him bleed out or take the pallet stun

I know this comment isn't of any use but thanks for this discussion, I've never seen this before and never even thought about it happening. Now I know to look for it, especially since it seems that survivors are always crawling to pallets when they're slugged.

Crawling to pallets is pretty normal even if they aren't running this combo, but a dead giveaway is also if you see them crawling much faster than normal due to Tenacity, since some might run a 3 or even 4 perk setup for getting power struggle setups with that and Unbreakable.

Okay I understand now. Thank you for explaining. Honestly I never even knew about a perk called Flip Flop either and it's sounds like a joke perk so might explain why that has never happened to me before. If someone gets me like that I'll give them credit, because you basically have one very situational perk and one that sounds like a meme. Maybe it is actually more powerful now that I think about it, because no way in hell people suspect that unless they are very knowledgeable of some jank tech so it works out often haha!

No problem bloke. Yeah if there are others alive, they might try to go for a pallet save or that downed guy makes you believe that someone is nearby by crawling underneath a standing pallet even though there is no one nearby. We are on the same bloody boat though with the never even thought about it situation lmao.
