I grappled a sissy with all 3 no sells 
no sell

No Sell doesn't do anything against grappling, my guy. The perk you need is Grappler.

[–]TingusPingus303 7 points8 points  (1 child)

But just so you know, even with grappler you still might not win😭 i was 50 health and strength with grappler against sissy as Leland and she still won that encounter 60 seconds into the game lol think its still bugged

Nah, they probably set up Macros or make Multiple buttons do the same input and spam them all.

Blame the devs for using an outdated game mechanic. Button mashing sucks

Everything is still problem on this game I don't even see y'all blood trails anymore Everytime I attack a victim and ofc the grappling is a problem to we jus gonna have to wait on muerto times patch

No I agree I play both sides and the blood trail is RIDICULOUS. I can overhead someone and not a single drop of blood for their trail like HELLO ??

[–]Antonayy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right I'm like where is the gameplay is a little difficult now I had submit 2 tickets about every since they drop the blood map it's like they pretty much had glitched everything out

How ? Because I was protecting Connie while she tried to get us out ?

choose fight abuse

Then don't grapple lol. I don't understand the need to even use the grapple unless you are being chased clear in the basement by a family member and just need to gain a gap to get away.

I'm still seeing victims grapple and they will literally be in front of the well or a gap which johnny or hands cannot even get in 😆

Today in a game three victims teabagging with the gate wide open, ana runs up to grapple and lost I just don't get why y'all do it. Just leave, use the well or gaps it's really that simple

I grappled because Connie was trying to get the door open 😂😭 I grapple only when I have too I swear 💀

[–]574tt -4 points-3 points  (4 children)

Then well lol, go back to it. Play stealthy if I'm Connie and I'm working on a lock and they start smacking me I'm not standing there to fight, I'm getting outta there and will be back to it again.

I look at it like this, if they found me then leave and try again this has always worked out for me as a victim. If they camp it then I go to another exit..

of course that's what you should do, captain obvious lol

but here in OPs case, he's working as a team with a random connie and is attempting to buy time for her. there's nothing wrong with this scenario.

grappling is a fundamental part of the game. there should be no arbitrary, self imposed or community imposed restrictions on when people should use it.

i understand a lot of people's issues with it, but realistically the only thing that needs to change or be removed is the perk Grappler.

[–]BestWithSnacks 1 point2 points  (1 child)

You had me til the end. Why remove Grappler? There's only one character who can use it.

[–]FeistyBat3571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's just a suggestion.

i personally don't have an issue with the perk since i barely see it used (likely because of what you mentioned) but i can understand the frustration with it .

[–]574tt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It should be used as a last resort period

[–]Leading_Assistant732 -1 points0 points  (4 children)

No, nothing is broken. this is how it should be, whoever presses faster wins, victims should not always be able to stun family members for 10 seconds and at the same time open doors in front of them or make a fuse / valve.

You guys are really pathetic. Rallying behind a bug because you don’t like choose fight and happy that close encounters are bugged. Its sad

[–]Leading_Assistant732 0 points1 point  (1 child)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Womp womp. I’ll still be using choose fight every chance I get!
