Steps to Reproduce

1. Play as The Deathslinger with his three teachable perks, Wardens Keys addon, Modified Ammo Belt Addon, and Survivor Pudding offering on Yamaoka Estate.
2. Shoot Yui or Sable (I cannot remember which survivor it was, but they had a black dress and it wasn't the default cosmetics) inside the main building.
3. The dress starts "bugging out" (no idea if it's even possible to replicate reliably).

Explanation

During a match on the Yamaoka Estate map playing as The Deathslinger, one of the survivor's clothing started "bugging out" (looked like it turned into some sort of tornado that spanned about a meter away from the character's model). This didn't stop when I picked them up, as far as I could tell, it just continued happening. Around about a minute after hooking them, my game froze up, then my PC, and then I got nothing but a black screen. The Num Lock key was still funcitonal on my keyboard, but my actual PC looked like it went back into POST. I waited for about a minute before deciding to just power cycle my PC. I assume this crash was GPU-related.

I'm uncertain on which survivor it was (I believe it was either Yui or Sable) but they weren't wearing their default cosmetics (I'm certain of this). They were wearing a black dress.

I'm playing on Linux (CachyOS) with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU. I've never experienced a bug like this before and my system is completely up-to-date.
