Leatherface sometimes has a silent chainsaw

Sometimes Leatherface's Chainsaw makes no revving sound, so you don't know when he's using his power. Very terrible bug to experience. It's not exactly fun to go down because you couldn't hear him using his power. Please fix this. It's been around for over a year :/

    It's been around as long as I can remember. It already sucks to go against Bubba, considering he gets a speed boost when he's using his power (which, A, is an insta-down, B, can hit multiple Survivors (unlike Hillbilly's), and C, can just keep going on and on)..... but to not know he's there when it's happening? Come on.

    Please fix this.

    It literally just happened to me again. I am writing this as I'm on the hook- Meg just unhooked me and is now healing me.

    Please look into this.

    Ran into that today myself. No addons for the chainsaw.

    This happens when he becomes undetectable.

    Keep an eye out for perks that create that.

    That too. But it's happening when he's not Undetectable.

    Just happened to me again. I found that if I'm not looking at him when he starts revving, it will be silent.

    *angry wails of a gamer girl who just wants fairness but instead gets a chainsaw-wielding cannibal that seems to magically appear out of thin air...*

    Had this happen to me on midwich the other day. My camera was most likely facing him but he was behind a wall in another room. It actually won him the game.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this. I played against a Tinkerer Bubba and when I saw him I was already too late, it scared the sh*t out of me.πŸ˜…

    Again, if he's Undetectable.. It might make his chainsaw silent, but I don't think it does/should (when working properly).

    Yep and the most frustrating thing about this bug is they fixed it and it came right back shortly after and has been in the game ever since…

    Had this in a match last night on ps4. Also he didn't have normal terror radius - it was just the heartbeat and it kind of sounded muffled especially in a chase. My swf teammate noticed this too so know it wasn't just on my end.

    I had it again today, I believe he was chasing me in shack and he wasn't undetectable. I even recorded it.

    This is an extremely aggravating bug and it happens in every single Leatherface match I play in.

    Just experienced this twice (see etms51's clip above) and it's definitely not fun and feels pretty unfair. Not Bubba's fault but I'd love a fix considering how long it's been going on...

    Can we please get someone to acknowledge this? It's been in the game for so long, yet it's never been resolved.

    Idk what's faster, the snail in my back yard or BHVR's response time to acknowledging bugs.

    Seriously? Tinker makes them undetectable when the gen hits 70%
