Is this a bug? I was Obsession (No Ob. perks, when another survivor had DS)

Member Posts: 1,141

Title.

Is this intended? I've opened DBD once since the last update. I thought I would log in and play a game or two this morning. My perks were Distortion, We'll Make It, Iron Will and Aftercare.

Is the Obsession random now? I know there's been an update to DS and the Obsession mechanic as a whole. The Survivor with Obsession perks had Dark Sense, Spine Chill, DS and Self Care.

    Once the survivor with DS uses DS they become the obsession now. They don't start off as the obsession all the time.

    I was obsession at the very beginning of the match.

    Killer perk? Killer perk will affect also

    If one player brings DS, a random Survivor is the Obsession. If the DS was used, the DS-User will become the Obsession.

    It is a bug. I had this happen to me a couple of times since the last update. I didn't have any obsession perks, the killer didn't have any obsession perks, the killer didn't have any obsession add-ons. Yet I was the obsession. It's a bug.

    Someone else has DS or the killer had obsession perks maybe? I don’t really know how it works in the first case.

    If someone has DS, someone else becomes the obsession.

    I mean, what I wrote is my observation. But I am not sure if it is intended. Maybe it is the only technical solution, because an Obsession cannot be created midgame so it needs to be there from the start so it can switch, if needed.

    If a Survivor has Decisive Strike, the obsession mechanic will randomly choose any of the Survivors. If they bring perks like Lone Survivor or Object of Obsession, they’ll have a better chance of being the Obsession. If not, once the Survivor that has DS uses it, they’ll gain the Obsession status. Killer’s obsession perks can affect any of the Survivors if none of them have any obsession perks. Hopefully, this helped your issue. :)

    It could have been an add-on.

    Freddy and Myers have Obsession add-ons.

    @Milo @Chaotic_Riddle

    I'm confused. In the description of DS is still mentioned that DS increases your chances of being the obsession (how it was before the rework). So isn't it more like a bug if somebody who has no obsession perk becomes the obsession?

    For now this is classified as a bug. Future will tell

    @Milo Okay. Thanks for clarifying. 😊
