hitting through walls

[SnowRifles]

Why does Nemesis have the advantage to hit players through walls and rocks??? Its honestly unfair af. While I was doing a gen, I saw my teammate in killer shack and a Nemesis whipped them through a literal wall outside.... I genuinely want to know why Dead by Daylight thought that was such a great idea for killers like Nemesis and Pyramid head hit you through small loops and pallets.



pls keep ur responses respectful.

because skill shots should be rewarded.

I believe that technically, it doesn't go through a wall and rather over the wall with Nemesis. The tentacle's hitboxes start from the top and go down in quick succession, and I believe depending on the wall and if it has big enough holes in it, one hitbox could feasibly go through it given the right angle/spacing. You'll notice if you duck before he swings it, the tentacle will not hit you behind a solid wall or at a window.

Pyramid Head is a different beast that has to deal with other factors, but take solace knowing the attack stops at ledges.

Nemesis' tentacle functions like a scanning guillotine, starting from above and moving down and away from him along a narrow line. A crouched Survivor still has a fairly tall vertical hitbox (not the same as their visual model), so only dropped pallets, some windows, and most scenery objects are tall enough to be "hit" first by the collision check. Nemesis can actually "drag" the scanning line with him a little bit by moving while whipping, very slightly expanding his effective hitzone; this only really matters on whips out in the open when you need to catch a Survivor trying to juke the hit.

Poor Pyramid Head is defeated by literally any amount of elevation change; they really need to make it either follow slopes or have slightly more vertical reach to catch people who go slightly up or down a staircase.

Gunslinger can shoot through a 1 pixel gap between 2 objects.
Huntress can throw axes over obstacles.
So can trickster with his daggers.
Plague can shoot vertically and make it rain acid puke like an artillery cannon.
Xenomorph works the exact same mechanic as Nemesis.
Executioner hits THROUGH objects, not over or between them.
Nurse can just teleport through it then hit you.
Doctor can shock anybody in range.
They don't stop Michael stalking
Or Ghostface.

Why is your problem with Nemesis?
Know your killer, be less predictable.

Also. for MOST of the lsited killers ^^, simply crouching makes your hit-box too small to hit.
