I can confirm this behavior.

I had a lot of similar occasions when nothings happens despite the distance is definitely below 50 meters.

This happpens analogly with the Chasebreaker as well.

Playing on XSX.

Does it really happens with chasebreaker too? Haven’t noticed. Chasebreaker isn’t blocked by trees or other unbreakable objects. But chasebreaker has a shorter range than ping. Maybe that’s why you thought it happens with chasebreaker too?

I played several hundreds of Hide & Seek games and yes - it happens with Chasebreaker, too.

Interesting. Got a clip?

even more ridiculouserer
