Bug #5893

Mesh Deformation Bug in 'Brutal Awakening' Torso Cosmetic on Rick Grimes

Status:	Under Investigation
Priority:	Medium
Added by:	Anonymous on August 3, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	10.0.3
Actual Result:	Rick's right chest geometry caves in, creating an unnatural gap/indent near his sternum whenever his arm moves during Gestures 1 & 2 and unhook attempt animations.
Expected Result:	His chest geometry should deform smoothly and naturally with his shoulder and arm movements without caving in or tearing the mesh during gestures.
Severity:	Cosmetic
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	This weight painting issue affects multiple arm movements. I have attached screenshots showing the chest caving in during both Emote 1 (Point) and Emote 2 (Wave), as well as during unhook attempts.

Steps to Reproduce

Select the Survivor Rick Grimes.
Equip the Brutal Awakening torso piece (hospital gown).
Load into any Trial.
Press key/button for Gesture 1 (Point) or Gesture 2 (Wave / Come Here).
Rotate the camera to look at the center/right side of his chest while the gesture plays.

Explanation

There is a vertex weight painting and mesh deformation bug on Rick Grimes's "Brutal Awakening" torso cosmetic. The inner side of his right pectoral muscle collapses inward, creating a sharp gap/indent in his chest whenever his arms move. This is especially noticeable when triggering Survivor Gesture 1 (Point) and Gesture 2 (Wave / Come Here), as well as during the hook "Attempt Escape" animation.
