Were Elk skin lullaby not working correctly

TrinityBabe Member Posts: 30

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: The lullaby of the were elk skin for huntress is so quiet it's almost imperceptable.

PLATFORM: PC

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED: Played in a match against a Huntress using the Were Elk skin and it was almost impossible to hear the lullaby (I have confirmation that my friend couldn't hear it either)

VIDEO:

I don't know if anyone else has stumbled across this yet, but I checked for a previous post and haven't seen this mentioned.

    i dont think its just the were elk skin huntress's lullaby in general is too quiet so quiet infact the sounds of working on a gen usually mask over the lullaby making it impossible to hear her coming.

    I noticed this, too. It's not as bad as it was on release (at least you can hear the hatchet raise 'grunt', originally you only barely could if they were right on top of you), but it's still too quiet. So it seems like we went from too quiet on all sounds to lullaby being too loud to distinguish distance/direction back to the humming being too quiet to tell distance/direction until they're close enough that you have full-on radius.

    Did you check their perks? There are perks that literally remove and reduce the terror radius....

    it might be due to the sound engine. Correct me if im wrong but sound has to travel over/around obstacles so that might dampen the sound? (its terrible tho)

    I went vs a were elk yesterday and it was really disgusting to the point I gave up. Audio was so low that I thought it was my head set until my friend on discord nearly busted my air drums. She then had wooden fox and trail of torment to abuse the bug, like how pathetic. See things like this is a valid reason to not play the match. Now watch how it won't be kill switched but when the male bard ugly sweater gsve total stealth it was killed switch immediately.

    This is still a severe issue, how has this not bene killswitched? With this patch the lullaby is practically non existent. I've encoluntered huntresses twice running this with Iri Heads to the point where you cannot hear them whatsoever until they are 10 feet away from you.

    We just faced a ttv wearing this skin. It was like playing against a stealth killer. No terror radius, no humming, till she was literally behind you. If this cosmetic is this broken, pls killswitch it. This is completely breaking the game

    Just ran into the same Were-Elk twice in a row and the second time I just DC'd the instant I saw Blood Favour go up and knew it was the same player, it had been a garbage night and I wasn't interested in playing against a stealth M1tress at The Game after facing them at Ruins. This is somehow actually worse than when Were-Elk first released as far as lullaby (at least you can hear the grunt when they raise the hatchet), but they were right on top of me and I could not hear the lullaby at all.

    Not only it is too quiet again, thoughout the entire history of his lullaby volume adjustments, another issue was persistent and to this day has not been fixed - you can not gauge the distance to the killer bc the lullaby barely changes in volume with distance (unlike default huntress lullaby)

    Still a thing. Way too quiet you hear it like just when she is standing next to you or chasing.

    still not killswitched

    Literally just had to disconnect from a game because of this, you cannot hear the huntress until she is directly on top of you. You cannot gauge how far away she is, and if the huntress is aware of the bug they typically bring add-ons or perks that also mess with the terror radius. It is just absolutely painful to play against, I'll think I'm safe to get an unhook but suddenly she's right behind me? You can still hear the "grunt" of the hatchet windup, that's just fine, but the audio is sooo messed up with the lullaby. BHVR, you need to be looking into this one.

    I literally get Stake Out stacks when I can not hear the killer at all, it's very broken.

    Went against 3 of these in a row. People are absolutely abusing the fact that you can't hear the lulllaby on this skin and stacking it with a few undetectable perks. Huntress should not be a killer who you have no way of telling if she's close until she's right on you. Stealth and range should not stack.

    The devs should be killswitching this skin to prevent this type of abuse.

    Just encountered this. Had to turn on the visual heartbeat for the first time ever just to have a chance at knowing she was nearby. Maxed out volume and the lullaby was barely audible. How has this not been addressed? Killers are exploiting this bug for a massive advantage.

    I will say DBD tweeted at me saying this should be fixed in the next update. I have no clue when the next patch is going out tho but I pray it's soon. Every were-elk i'm going against is running wooden fox and it just feels so extremely unfair.

    Hey folks! Popping in to confirm that, yes, a fix for this is planned to be included in the update for our new Chapter, which releases on June 17th. I'm updating the status of this bug report accordingly.

    Please killswitch it until then, that's what the feature was made for.
