Amanda's Letter Bug?? (Minor bug if so)
I was playing survivor and played against a pig who was running Amanda's Letter and everytime a generator would get done, it would show the icon of the addon of amanda's letter for a short time in the bottom right corner.

Blood Rush BP math is off...
The math doesn't add up... Ran a perfect game as Doctor, so got 32000 BP. Was also running a Survivor Pudding for a 100% bonus, so that would be 64000 BP Blood Rush for a bonus 1.5 multiplier... so 64000 x 1.5 is 96000 BP for the match. I was only awarded 80000 BP. Am I missing something here? Or did I miss out on 16000…

Chat filtering out the word "kill".
The chat filter that no one really asked for is still impeding discussion in post-game chat. It filters out variations of the word "kill", like "killed" or "killing" or even "killer". Fixing it is pretty easy. Just gotta get rid of the chat filter.

Either as soon as the offerings are burnt, or as soon as I click "Continue"…
Xbox One - Dead Hard Bug/Glitch
