Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

A weird discrepancy I noticed while playing 2v8, Cages do not progress the Kill Survivors Milestone

The title says it all really, I was playing some 2v8 now that it's out, and noticed something rather odd, my kills before playing was at 144 out of 165, I figured I'd be able t o get the Milestone done in 3 games since you could previously take 1v4 challenges into 2v8 and have your teammate help you progress them, I did this with Orange Glyphs for example and that worked perfectly fine.

So I played a few games, and noticed that the kills on the Milestone wasn't increasing, 2 games and about 14 survivors dead later it was still at 144, I figured "okay, it might be because I'm not the one putting the Survivor on their death hook, meaning that my teammate is getting the kill credit and not me." So I played another game and made absolutely sure to get the last hook needed for the kill, and then got absolutely nothing, I then played another game and Mori'd the last survivor, AND THAT counted as a kill for the Milestone, going up from 144 to 145.

So, with that out of the way, what the ######### is going on with this?

Well, I have a pretty simple theory. What might be happening here is that the Milestone is only programmed to recognise two things, Hook sacrifices, and Mori kills, Cages possibly use different code compared to hooks, since they have their own animations and mechanics, so what I suspect is happening here is that the game doesn't recognise survivors dying in a Cage to be the same as dying on a Hook, and therefore doesn't progress the Milestone.

Of course I could be totally wrong by virtue of DBD's code being basically just Nuclear Pasta, but this is what I think is the logical explanation

Either way, please fix this, it's really annoying

G'night

    Does this also apply to Pyramid Head's cages?
