Patch: 5.1.0 UPDATE - Clown's Bottles - Fixed

Clowning · June 2021

DESCRIPTION:

~~If a running Survivor is directly hit with an Afterpiece Tonic, the Hindered status is not applied and neither is the visual distortion.~~

On top of that, if a Survivor is standing still and is directly hit, the scream occurs, but the Survivor first needs to move in order to receive all the debuffs that are supposed to occur while under the effects of an Afterpiece Tonic cloud. Meaning they can simply stand in a cloud without any hindrance.

~~Replication is very simple:~~

~~Step 1: Directly hit a survivor with an Afterpiece Tonic~~

~~Step 2a: If standing still, the Survivor screams but no debuff of any kind is applied until they move.~~

~~Step 2b: If running in a straight line, it is entirely possible to outrun the cloud before any debuff is applied.~~

Patch 5.0.2 EDIT:

I have updated this thread, as a Survivor who's standing still currently receives all of the debuffs. However, a running survivor seems to receive the debuff around 40% of the time. I've tested this repeatedly for about fifteen minutes and found absolutely no consistency or rule to whether a running survivor will be slowed when directly hit.

PATCH 5.1.0 EDIT:

This bug has been fixed as of 5.1.0 and I simply can't seem to find the delete thread button.

This isn't where the bug ends either. If you don't direct hit a Survivor and they instead walk into the cloud and become intoxicated, the Hindered and visual effects will not take place right away. The time fluctuates, but sometimes the Survivor will be in a gas cloud for over a full second before they actually receive any debuffs.
