Steps to Reproduce

Load into a match as Killer
Attempt a Lunge Attack towards a Survivor
Lunge Duration is noticeably shorter prior to the Anti Cheat Hotfix

Explanation

When Playing as Killer and performing a Lunge Attack, the Lunge Attack Duration is considerably shorter than before the Anti Cheat Update. When the Animations were first changed in 10.1.0 the length of Lunge Attacks felt normal but now it feels much shorter, about 0.25 seconds shorter
