Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Always

Steps to Reproduce

You carry an item (toolbox, medkit, event plate, etc)
killer hooks you
on the hook the arm where you grab the item contorts backwards for one or two seconds
then you remain hanging on first stage carrying the item
when you are hooked on second stage, you strugle with only one hand, while the other holds the item

Explanation

For at least a couple of months now, when a survivor is put on the hook, they are holding their medkit, toolbox, etc., and continue to hold it while hanging there. Also, when they are hooked for the first time, their arm contorts backwards in an impossible way before returning to its normal position. The animation is so ugly that I'm not even bringing items along to see how my character struggles normally while hooked.
