Severity:	Major

Steps to Reproduce

1. Pick up and carry a survivor who has Boil Over perk
2. Attempt to walk next to a wall/object
3. Touch the wall for a second
4. Now try to get away from the wall

Explanation

Boil over perk sometimes gets the killer stuck on a wall or an object. Whenever you get close enough to a wall or object the game doesn't allow you to move away from the wall or object but rather wants keep you still as if you were glued to the wall/object, causing survivors to wiggle out rather than getting hooked.

I haven't tested this in custom game mode so I can't say how often this happens but I did try using Boil Over perk in 3 games and couldn't reproduce it myself in normal gameplay.

Attached video showcases the bug with two first parts with no walls or objects close-by and two where the bug is present. All clips are from same trial and one and the same player being carried only.

Or is this a cheat/exploit that I am unaware of?
