Trivia

  • The Perk Boil OverIconPerks boilOver.pngIconPerks boilOver.pngIconPerks boilOver.png counters the primary effect of Iron Grasp, resulting in the two negating one another.
  • Involuntary Strafing, also known as the Struggle Effects, refers to the random and involuntary side-to-side movement Killers experience while carrying a Survivor who is actively wiggling.
    • It is a balancing mechanic. Unless the Killer actively counter-steers, it is very likely for them to bump into obstacles or doorframes, giving the Survivor a better chance at preventing the Killer from reaching a Hook in time before they can wiggle free.
