DBD Devs, Should Blight's Speed Add-ons be Multiplicative or Additive in Terms of Speed?

I've asked this before, but I'll ask it again.

I've heard various claims that Blight's speed add-ons, Blighted Rat and Crow, are bugged.

In what way you may ask? Bugged in the way that the speed is multiplicative instead of additive.

Devs, is this true? Are these add-ons really bugged?

    I don't think the speed addons are bugged. Reasoning being because it increases each consecutive rush by a %. Never stated specifically if it increases based off of the BASE speed (230% or 9.2 m/s) or the speed of the previous rush.

    Using common sense if it was additive why wouldn't they make the description like "Increases each consecutive rush by X m/s" instead of a percentage.

    That's what I thought too. The person who made the claim stated that they were, "bugged," due to datamining. The only problem with this is that datamining only shows how they work instead of how they should work.

    They aren't bugged but the nerfs to them should make them additive which is far more significant than most people think.

    They should not exist in the first place.

    They just shouldn't give a stackable amount of speed but be like placebo tablet (but oppsoite ofc) -> increase the base speed by x amount (current one would be fine), so rushes speed would be set and not incrementing for each rush
