Ledge grabbing somehow got worse?

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide General Discussion

So this may be just a run of bad luck but at this point im pretty fed up with the ledge grab system. 5 knockbacks near ledges, 5 deaths, 0 ledge grabs.

i have played ungodly amounts of verm and darktide, and with darktide especially i can think of NOTHING less fun than dying from not grabbing a very grabbable ledge.
I took a short break from darktide, and its honestly making it a little hard to want to play at this point. In every non-auric heresy/damnation game i have played in the past week, and im 100% serious with this, EVERY. SINGLE. FULL ON DEATH. i have had has only been from knockback off and edge with no ledge grab. and like 5 deaths isnt a lot overall, but when 100% of my deaths were from being blown off a ledge and my character forgetting they have arms and not grabbing a ledge, it feels very cheap.
I have seen posts similar to this before and the ever present “Erm ackshully, dont be near ledges!” comment pops up so ill say, my most recent death i was on a bridge and a plague ogryn charged by me sending me off. this may be a shocker to those people but, i cant actually just fly over areas of levels that have ledges, theyve yet to add a jetpack.
At this point im just wondering if my luck has been terrible or if ledge grabbing has gotten somehow MORE buggy? Has anyone else noticed a lack of grabbing ledges?

I usually find them overly generous, maybe your suffering from new grenade interactions with barrels since they can become more trap-time-bombs letting you get close before BOOM.

Also not sure if closer you are further you go… prob not cause when your on the edge of range seems almost more deadly to range than going for a barrel hug and accepting more damage.

At this point i think thats part of the issue, why is it so inconsistent? Like what would the harm be to make it so you grab 100% of the time if your sorta near a ledge? in the past ive been blown basically to another planet, and my character magentizes way back to the ledge, but others ive done a tony hawk grind on the railing, just barely gone over, and no grab at all. im at a loss here -.-
