    Hello fellow gamers, I need your wise words because something really strange happened.. So I was sniper(with huntsman) on the map tundra in a little shed waiting for hale to trap. Suddenly he came and I trapped him with the stab taunt. Now the strange: The HHHjr. got the animation for being stunned but after my taunt he just walked away like he was ignoring the stun. Now the question: Bug or wanted?
    Thanks for your help
    greetings Snobbie

    Did he rage? When vsh characters are stuck in a sniper trap and they rage, it will cancel your huntsman taunt but the animation is still visible for everyone. Practically youre just making it look like you taunted him and he wont be stunned.
    To counter this you will have to taunt again immediately after he raged and spooked you.

    Edit: I just read the wiki for HHHjr. He has no ability to make him taunt proof.

    It is often possible that the enemy gets caught in the stun part of the taunt but if he's running across the taunt the momentum will make him move a bit further once caught in the stun, practically causing him to slide away and ignore the second taunt stun. Also note that the Huntsman taunt is not recommended on HHHJr due to his ability to counter taunt you and kill you instantly with it.

    I often use this counter taunt on huntsman snipers to piss them off and make them believe "Oh yes! He's trapped and I'm the hero of the round!" then suddenly decapitation.

    I remember once on the LZ granary I caught Hale in the huntsman taunt while he jumped up to me in mid air and fell down stunned XD
