Bug #7821

Generator Regression Anomaly During Hooked State

Status:	Open
Priority:	Medium
Added by:	Anonymous on October 10, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	10.2.0 Release
Actual Result:	Every time I attempted to unhook myself, the generator repeatedly displayed its explosion effect. This appeared to be purely visual, as the explosions did not seem to affect the generator's regression. When I was unhooked, the explosion effects stopped, and the generator also stopped regressing despite no Survivor having repaired it.
Expected Result:	Attempting to unhook myself should not trigger the generator's explosion effect. The generator should also continue regressing after Pain Resonance activates, unless an intended game mechanic causes the regression to stop.
Severity:	Minor
Reproducibility:	Once
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	he repeated generator explosion effects while attempting to unhook appeared to be purely visual and did not seem to affect regression. The main issue being reported is that the generator stopped regressing after I was unhooked, despite no Survivor repairing it.

Steps to Reproduce

Enter a match against The Xenomorph with Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance and Monstrous Shrine equipped.
Get hooked on a Scourge Hook, triggering Pain Resonance and Monstrous Shrine on a generator.
Have the Killer travel into a tunnel and move more than 24 metres away from the hooked Survivor.
While still hooked, repeatedly attempt to unhook yourself.
Observe the affected generator playing its explosion effect with every self-unhook attempt.
Get unhooked and observe that the explosion effects stop and the generator stops regressing, despite no Survivor repairing it.

Explanation

During a match against The Xenomorph, the Killer had Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance and Monstrous Shrine equipped.

When I was hooked, Pain Resonance activated on a generator, causing it to explode and begin regressing. The Killer then entered a tunnel and travelled more than 24 metres away from the hooked Survivor, causing the generator to regress at an increased rate.

While I was still hooked, I repeatedly attempted to unhook myself. Every attempt caused the affected generator to play its explosion effect again.

When I was eventually unhooked, the repeated explosion effects stopped, and the generator stopped regressing entirely, even though no Survivor had worked on it.
