Trivia[]

Because some of the emotes look similar to their attacking animation, Hunters like Hell Ember, Gamekeeper, Wu Chang or "Undead" can use the emote to feign their attacks to trick Survivors such as:
- Baiting Survivors to waste their Flywheel Effect or Tool.
- Pretend to hit an active Rocket Chair to trick Survivors into thinking the Hunter is on their attack recovery animation and rescue.
  - Legit-able hits on the Rocket Chair has a "boing" sound effect with confetti (also played if the Hunter hits a Survivor or an obstacle).
- Pretending to destroy a Pallet or a Survivor's item to trick Survivors into moving to an open area.
- Faking Abnormal to force Survivors into finishing the last Cipher Machine to activate Detention, and to end the stalemate in their favor.
  - Legit-able use of Abnormal will play metal clanking sounds.
