Explanation

Knockout, a perk for "The Cannibal", was reworked to debuff survivors with a slowing effect upon them dropping a pallet and then leaving the radius of said pallet by moving 6 meters away.

In the replies of a twitter post, made by the official Dead by Daylight twitter account discussing the patch, a user asked if this effect would still apply if the pallet was then broken, reset, or blocked after it was dropped and before the survivor proc'd it by leaving the radius. The official DBD account then replied: "At this time, as long as the pallet was dropped this perk will become active."

At this current moment, Knockout does not slow survivors if the pallet is changed prior to them leaving the area of the pallet. Thus this would mean that the perk is bugged.
