Tips:-
1) First, make sure you equip a flashlight. If you don’t have a flashlight, you can locate one in the chests.
2) Now, it is important to keep yourself hidden before you attempt to stun a killer.
3) When the killer picks up a survivor, there will be an animation for the pickup process (2-4 seconds).
4) As soon as the killer picks up your fellow survivor, run in front of him/her and aim the flashlight directly at his/her eyes. Time it in a way so that the flashlight stuns the killer right before the animation ends and he can move again. If the light starts narrowing into the eyes of the killer, you are doing it correctly.
5) Once the killer gets stunned, he/she will drop the survivor. Once free, both of you should escape by running and taking shelter.
Note: You don’t get the save if you blind the killer during the pickup animation. Try counting to three before starting a flashlight save as the blind time is a little more than 1 second while the pickup animation lasts about 4.33 seconds.
