Are Fog Vials Bugged?

So when a Fog Vial has been used it is suppose to suppress Aura and Scratch Marks but I think the Scratch Marks part is bugged.

    I've noticed that from the survivors perspective when I use fixated my scratch marks are still being shown as if there was no fog vial being used

    It's really hard to tell when you're actually in the main radius of smoke (it actually expands outwards more and gradually reduces its opacity until it has no effect, but it only hides marks when you're in the full opacity radius or 8 meters)

    • I'm asking honestly, but what do you use the fog vials for? Wouldn't that be a brown med kit or a brown toolbox? I'm telling you honestly, you can see perfectly well through the fog, so unless there's a wall, a rock, or something else nearby, or a perk like Quick & Quiet and hiding in a locker... they're completely useless.

    Not gonna lie i didnt know fog vials did anything of use. I don't play survivor so never read what they actually do but as a killer been seeing them a fair bit recently and i must say that when a survivor drops one i don't really notice any aura or scratch mark suppression because i can visibly see the survivor due to the fog vials not obscuring any vision really. However I will look down next time to see if any scratch marks

    I've noticed this too, on the odd occasion I've seen a survivor drop one the scratch marks are plain as day. I just figured it got nerfed again. Who'd have thought they could become even more useless lol

    The way I figured it, only two things would need to be done to fog vials.

    1. Either rework them to function in a similar way to the Void Crystals (smaller radius, but completely dense), while keeping the aura blocking and hiding of scratchmarks.
    2. Or just delete them from the game. In their current state, they might as well be considered fillers and bloodweb clutter.

    I use them for Lethal protection since I use No Mither, then use em again to leave the basement after invocation. that's all my 2 charges.
