Knight guards dont go around pallets anymore.

albertoplus · January 2023

Platform: PC (i suppose it happens on every platform tho?)

Description: When guards are chasing a survivor, before the last patch if the survivor drops (or vaults) a pallet, the guards would go through it, but now if the surv drops a pallet while chased the guards dont go through it and try to move around it.

Steps: Start a chase with a guard and let the survivor drop or vault a pallet.

How oftern does this occur: Allways

I played against a knight yesterday and dropped a pallet while the carnifex was chasing me (guards slow down while phasing through obstacles) and he went through it just fine, so I definitely don't agree with the assessment of "always".

they seem to do it sometimes, not always

for me, they walk around pallets mostly when the survivor drops a pallet right infront of them(also seems to happen on certain maps only)

Oh, then my bad completely. It should not happen always then. I though so because all the times i have just chased a survivor with a guard and he did drop a pallet (or jumped through it), the guard did go around the pallet. I suppose i was just unlucky then..

Still annoying tho, guards already have a very difficult time getting into a target, so having them going around pallets...

Also, it seems it still is after this new patch? Because on all my games before i never noticed it.

Bug still happening.

Can confirm this bug is happening a lot.

It seems to happen if they throw the pallet down right in front of them instead of a little before. It causes them to go completely around instead of threw.

Hopefully they fix this soon, it actually hurts them a lot and happens quite often, especially if the survivors know about this bug and want to abuse it.
