Game Afoot not working properly
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: The perk Game Afoot will not trigger when a pallet is broken by any means other than a manual break (e.g. Demogorgon's Shred, Nemesis' whip, etc.)
PLATFORM: PC
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED: In prior patches, Game Afoot had some flexibility in how it could be triggered, including any of:
- Breaking a pallet manually
- Breaking a pallet with a killer power
- Breaking a wall manually
- Breaking a wall with a killer power
- Damaging a generator manually
This perk was usable with Nemesis' whip when it would break pallets at one point, until suddenly it just stopped working. At the time, breaking a pallet with Blight's rush or Demogorgon's Shred while chasing the Obsession would still trigger the perk. Notably, using Nemesis' whip to break a breakable wall would still trigger the perk in that patch.
Now upon my most recent testing, -nobody's- killer powers triggers Game Afoot when breaking a pallet while chasing the Obsession. As I recall, 1v1 players would use Game Afoot while playing as Demogorgon just because you would be destroying pallets frequently while chasing the other player, who would be the Obsession; now that unique interaction just doesn't work anymore. And again in this patch, using a killer power to destroy a breakable wall while in a chase with the Obsession will trigger Game Afoot.
I reported this issue specifically relating to Nemesis some time ago and it never got fixed, so honestly I more just wanted to put the information of my testing somewhere. I think the perk could actually be useful in some unique builds if this got fixed, without being overpowered or problematic.
I tested every killer with a power that could break pallets, and some of those that could also break walls. The outcome of Game Afoot not triggering while breaking a pallet with a killer power, while triggering when breaking a wall with the same killer power in a chase with the Obsession was consistent across the board.
Interactions tested include: Hillbilly's chainsaw, Shape's new slaughtering strike, Cannibal's chainsaw, Freddy's dream pallets (kind of a edge case but figured I'd try), Legion's Iri Pin add-on, Demogorgon's shred, Oni's blood fury, Executioner new Iri add-on, Blight's rush, Wesker's Iri Lab Photo add-on, Singularity's overdrive (having a pallet break while teleporting to a survivor while chasing the Obsession did not trigger Game Afoot), Nemesis' whip, Knight's guards, and Lich's Iri add-on. I also tested breaking pallets using the perks Spirit Fury and Dissolution, and neither of these breaks activated Game Afoot while chasing the Obsession.
