Pallets

Pallets are interactive obstacles featured in Template:IconLink.

Usage

States

Pallets have two states: upright, and pulled down. At the start of a trial, all Pallets are in the upright position, meaning that both the Survivors and the Killer can pass through the area next to them without needing to interact with them.
Killers are unable to interact with Pallets in this state, but Survivors have the option to pull it down and create an obstacle for the Killer that can only be vaulted by the Survivors, which is similar to vaulting a Template:IconLink.

As of Patch 3.4.0, Survivors can reset dropped Pallets to the upright position by using Template:IconLink.

Breaking

The Killer cannot vault Pallets, but can choose to break and thus permanently destroy it by interacting with it (default: SPACE, R1, or RB), an action that takes 2.6 seconds.

Breaking a Pallet displays a short animation in which the Killer will destroy it either with their foot, their hand, or their Weapon.
This will momentarily obstruct their vision as the camera will tilt downwards until the Pallet is destroyed, giving the Survivor an opportunity to hide out of sight.
It also gives the Survivor the opportunity to easily blind the Killer with a Template:IconLink, as they are locked into the animation and cannot turn their head to try and evade the blind.

The Hillbilly and The Cannibal, both wielding Chainsaws, can alternatively choose to destroy a Pallet with them.
The Demogorgon, The Oni and The Blight may destroy a Pallet by using either of their Special Attacks.
The Blight can also use the Template:IconLink Add-on by slamming a pallet to destroy it quick.

Blocking

Blocked upright Pallets cannot be pulled down by Survivors.
Upright Pallets can be blocked while using the Perk Template:IconLink.
The Blight can also use the Template:IconLink Add-on by hitting a Survivor with lethal rush to block a pallet within close range for a few seconds.

Pallet Stun

If a Killer is inside the area of a Pallet and a Survivor pulls it down, they will be pushed back and get stunned for 2 seconds, obstructing their vision as their camera tilts.
This will also award the Survivor a hefty amount of Bloodpoints in the Boldness category.

A Killer carrying a Survivor can be stunned by Pallets. If stunned while holding a Survivor, the Killer will drop the Survivor into the Template:IconLink, giving them time to escape.
This only happens when the Killer is able to move as the animation to pick up a Survivor cannot be cancelled.

Pallet Grab

A Survivor in the Template:IconLink can be grabbed by the Killer mid-vault and hoisted directly onto their shoulder by tapping the attack button (default: M1, R2, or RT), putting them instantly into the Template:IconLink upon a drop.

Locations

The location of a Pallet or a Pallet Cluster varies with the procedural Map generation and usually differs between two iterations of the same Map.

Spawn Routine

Pallets will spawn at least either 14, 16, 18 or 20 metres away from each other in predetermined spawn spots.
