High-Power Floodlight (Skull Merchant Add-on) Bug
The other day I noticed what I think is a bug with the Skull Merchant add-on called High-Power Floodlight.
The add-on reads: "Survivors with a Claw Trap suffer from the Blindness status effect. This effect lasts until the Claw Trap is removed."
The issue arose when the Claw Trap that was on me removed itself while I was in a locker and injured. When I exited the locker, the Blindness status effect was not removed. It remained until I was eventually downed by the Skull Merchant. There were no other perks or add-ons in play that could've caused the status effect.
To reproduce this bug, have one person play Skull Merchant and use the aforementioned add-on, have another person play any Survivor, get injured by the Killer, and then get a Claw Trap. While the Claw Trap is active, the Survivor player should hide in a locker until the Claw Trap removes itself, then exit the locker. If successfully reproduced, the Blindness status effect will remain until the Survivor is downed.
I don't actually know if being injured made any difference, it's just one of the factors that was in play at the time I encountered the issue. It's possible the bug could be reproduced without the Survivor being injured.
