Steps to Reproduce

Explanation

In the PTB 2v8, I became permanently stuck in a Cage and nobody could unhook me. After several characters attempted to unhook me in the 2v8 on PTB, the Killers kept interrupting the other Survivors by hitting them mid-unhook. At some point my Survivor jump-cut thru the unhook animation and end up in a bugged state where they were visually unhooked, but functionally my camera was still stuck on the Cage and my controls wouldn't work, but since my character was off the cage nobody else could unhook me.
