Randomly while playing, my Survivor will scream and become Hindered. There doesn't seem to be any particular cause. No Killer perks/addons/etc. cause this… and its happened multiple times across matches.

Example:

Anybody know what is happening??

    This is due to the party chest event in the masquerade event.

    From the wiki:

    All unopened Chests are converted into Anniversary Chests, glowing in a festive blue and gold tint when within 8 metres of them.

    All Anniversary Chests automatically open in an explosion of festive confetti after 60 seconds and apply the following effects to all Players who are within their Aura-range at that moment:

    • Causes Survivors to scream and suffer from a -25 % Hindered Status Effect for 4 seconds. ← THIS ONE
    • Causes the Killer to be stunned in place.

    Opening an Anniversary Chest before the Tryk expires guarantees a random Anniversary Item.

    Ah, disregard this post. I've been informed that it's caused by the party chests!
