Bug Fixes

2v8

Fixed an issue where The Nemesis zombies could become stuck on Sanctum of Wrath.

Fixed an issue where Killer chests did not have their Aura revealed when facing The Nemesis and The Mastermind together.

Fixed an issue where Survivors could see the Aura of the Cage of Corruption while in a locker.

Fixed an issue where trapped Survivors were missing the trapped animation after stepping in The Trapper's Bear Trap while also being contaminated by The Nemesis.

Fixed an issue where a Survivor caught in a Bear Trap could be sent into a Cage of Corruption twice against The Trapper and The Mastermind.

Fixed an issue where it was unable to Drop the Spray/Antidote after being used by a different Survivor.

Fixed an issue where certain map specific achievements were not being awarded in correctly.

Audio

Fixed an issue where Walking Dead characters were not playing the right VO line during their interactions.

Fixed an issue where Ice Nine Kills music wasn't playing when equipped with collection items.

Fixed an issue where The Slasher 'Jump Scare' cause the Survivors in Lockers to Scream.

Fixed an issue where Survivors ''Fully Healed'' Voice line triggers when partially healed.

Fixed an issue where the bananas emit a metallic sound when hit by a projectile on Trickster Delusion map.

Fixed an issue where the hook voice over played too late when transitioning from phase 1 to phase 2.

Fixed an issue where Survivors exit gate dialog triggered at the same time the door opens, which was making it hard to hear.

Fixed an issue where the incorrect voice lines played for Killers & Survivors regardless of their language setting.

Fixed an issue where the lullaby for the Facemelter Eddie legendary cosmetic was lower than intended.

Characters

Reverted a fix that prevented The Skull Merchant from deploying Drones when above/below a Hooked Survivor.

Dev Note: The issue that the fix attempted to solve will be back, which made Drones disappear after being deployed, regardless of being out of the vertical range for Drone anti-camp. This is unintended and is under investigation.

Fixed an issue where as The Animatronic, the Blighted Springtrap's Mouth Animation was unable to be seen at the end of the Killer's Mori.
