grab game

A fun interaction in the 4 vs 1 cat and mouse game, Dead by Daylight.

In order for a grab game to take place, there must be a Survivor on a hook. If their healthy teammate is desperate to rescue them in front of the Killer, they must risk being grabbed (and in turn, instantly downed) by the Killer or successfully bait the Killer into mistiming the grab, causing only a hit to take place (which gives the teammate time to rescue the Survivor).

Grab games usually take place in the final moments of a match, when the endgame timer is counting down and the Killer is trying to secure a kill.

Grab games can often unfortunately be ruined for the Killer by server ping.

Scott Jund: The grab game is a mental battle between the Killer and a Survivor.
