Apex Muffler (and Tinkerer?) is silencing the chainsaw while inside the terror radius

Platform: PC

Description of the issue: One of the hillbilly's addons named Apex Muffler is currently silencing the chainsaw while inside the terror radius, even though the addon states that it silences it outside the terror radius. It is entirely possible that Tinkerer is messing with the addon as I've seen some Hillbillys run this addon with that perk equipped (and no, Tinkerer is not active when this specific bug occurs).

I haven't tested this in a custom match yet (as I have no one to test with), but I'll try my best for a possible way to reproduce it.

Steps to reproduce (if possible)

  • Load into custom match as Survivor, with the killer going Hillbilly with the Apex Muffler addon and Tinkerer perk equipped
  • Repair a generator to 70%
  • Have the Hillbilly chainsaw to the generator. Apex Muffler should be in effect because of Tinkerer procing Undetectable.
  • Chainsaw should be forever silent after Tinkerer's effect ends

This is my best guess on a reproduce. There are possibly other ways to reproduce it.

How often does this occur: I haven't gone against this build that much, but it seems to almost always occur everytime.

    there is no issue here, addons says you should be outside the terror radius, tinkerer grants the killer undetectable status effect which reduces killer's terror radius to 0 so it should silence the chainsaw

    This is not what I am saying. This addon is NOT working properly combined with Tinkerer. I know what Tinkerer does and use it on my Hillbilly. The issue is that the Chainsaw is silent even if Tinkerer isn't activating. I've seen this happen a few times in the past. Apex Muffler obviously shoud be going into effect when Tinkerer activates because, like you said, the killer is undetectable. The problem that I am possibly seeing is that Apex Muffler goes on to be active indefinitely when this happens (after Tinkerers effect ends and you are inside the terror radius).
