PC - Killer Lack Terror Radius/No Hook Music/Iron Will Broken

edited September 2020 in Bug Reporting

This is something I've noticed during my time playing the game since update 4.2.0 has been released. I can't specify any details that point out in particular (example: only happens when playing __), as this is a widespread issue. I've asked friends if they've noticed the same thing that I have, and it seems even some people on these forums have noticed as well.

Starting with the obvious one, the killers lack a heartbeat terror radius. For example, I just went up against an Oni, and the only indicator I heard was when he was pretty much right on top of me. I went to rescue a survivor from the basement because I didn't think he was around, but when I got to the stairs I suddenly started hearing it and saw his red stain (he was coming to the stairs, he wasn't camping). I then stood on top of a hill to heal myself, and I didn't hear a heartbeat or his unique terror radius when I should have. This doesn't apply to just the Oni, but to all killers I've been up against, and it's making it hard to play the game in that aspect.

Next, the hook music. I've noticed that when being hooked, the hooks lack that music it usually has, whether hooked for the first time or entering the struggle phase. It's just silence, the only noises that are heard are the noises of pain coming from the character, the swaying of the hook, and the other ambient noise in the game. This isn't as big of a deal as the first glitch, but it does feel a bit empty when I play.

Unfortunately I don't have any gameplay recorded to link with this report, but I hope my descriptions were enough to suffice.

Hope this gets fixed soon <3


UPDATE: Only the basement hook music seems to not work. Please read the updates I put in the comments below, as I had no clue you could edit posts until now and I can’t delete the comments 😂)

    Update: Lack of hook music seems to only affect the basement hooks.

    This is happening on switch as well but the whole game seems more quiet overall

    I personally haven’t noticed much of a change in the game noise in general, but it could be platform dependent ? I know it’ll sound stupid, but check your in-game sound levels too.

    The whole lack of heartbeat indicator is throwing me off completely though 😂

    Update 2: Iron Will is broken as well. I have it equipped at tier 3, and I still make noise when injured.

    Can confirm the terror radius is missing on Xbox one. Trying headset now.

    Headset I can hear the TR but very lightly way below music and other sounds.

    Headset off and uncheck in setting.... No TR at all.


    Xbox 1.

    I have also been having this issue. Played three matches in a row, all with the terror radius being non-existent/extremely quiet, as well as yesterday (honestly thought it was just the new killer as that's when I first noticed it). - PC

    PC here. Played multiple rounds since the latest dlc. A lot of killers I ran into since have no heartbeat or reduced/messed up heartbeat or theme music. Usually the ones without heartbeat are leatherface. It's so unusual to get so many leatherface per day especially when a new killer just came out... I suspect players are aware of this and are abusing it by playing killers that they knew didn't have heartbeat. I was playing with friends so it wasn't just me that couldn't hear it. They got me almost every time because by the time I see a leatherface with no terror radius, it's too late to get away from the tornado of a chainsaw. I checked their perks everytime, no monitor and abuse and no tinkerer.

    Please fix this asap.

    How is no Terror radius not a priority issue. It is a core game mechanic. Killers without it have a huge advantage and no downside since they dont have to play stealthers that have build in tradeoffs.

    A Freddy had no terror radius and plucked me off a gen while still invisible. Also the game hard froze for 10 seconds.

    Exactly! That needs to be fixed, because it’s completely messing me up. A lot of Leatherface players have been abusing the bug because you don’t even know they’re there until after the chainsaw already starts (as someone previously stated). I really hope they fix it soon.
