Survivor's Hand Animation Incorrectly Displays Item During Hook Phase

Status:	Pending Moderation
Priority:	Medium
Added by:	Linorvil on May 28, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	9.6.2
Actual Result:	The item in the hand appears misaligned; the hand animation plays as if the item were not there, even though it actually is
Expected Result:	After being taken off the hook, the item in the survivor's hand displays with the correct animation
Severity:	Minor
Reproducibility:	Frequently
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	As an addendum, I can add that this animation begins to function correctly after pressing the item usage button (at any time, even while walking), as well as simply by using the item for its intended purpose once. However, after subsequently hooking a Survivor—or performing any other interaction with one—the issue returns.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start a trial as a Survivor or a Killer
2. Get hooked / Hook a Survivor
3. Observe the awkward animation of the hand holding the object
4. When playing as a Survivor, you can resolve this issue yourself—at least until you are hooked again. To do this, simply press the right mouse button; the correct arm animation should then trigger.

Explanation

During a match, the survivor's hand holding an item is displayed incorrectly: the item is present in the hand, but the animation plays as if nothing were being held, resulting in an incorrect visual appearance.
