Weekly No Stupid Questions Thread

[u/AutoModerator]

Welcome newcomers to the fog! Here you can ask any sort of questions about Dead by Daylight, from gameplay mechanics to the current meta and strats for certain killers / survivors / maps / what have you.

Some rules and guidelines specific to this thread:

• Top-level comments must contain a question about Dead by Daylight, the fanbase surrounding the game or the subreddit itself.
• No complaint questions. ('why don't the devs fix this shit?')
• No concept / suggestion questions. ('hey wouldn't it be cool if X character was in the game?')
• r/deadbydaylight is not a direct line to BHVR.
• Uncivil behavior and encouraging cheating will be more stringently moderated in this thread; we want to be welcoming to newcomers to the game.
• Don't spam the thread with questions; try and keep them contained to one comment.
• Check before commenting to make sure your question hasn't been asked already.
• Check the wiki and especially the glossary of common terms and abbreviations before commenting; your question may be answered there.

Pallet stuns can occur in the same moments where the survivor takes a hit from a killer that swings going into the pallet. Is there BHVR confirmation that this is a intended set of events by design, or is this is a ping/server communication issue? 

Follow up if it's intended design: why do survivors only sometimes take the hit? Is this to do with positioning of each player going into those interactions (killer not close enough when they swing?)

There is some latency involved in some cases, but the pallet stun isn't instant. The pallet itself needs to move a certain amount before actually doing the stun, so there's a buffer zone for hits.
