Bug #8270

Drones intermittently fail to scan survivors

Status:	Needs More Info
Priority:	High
Added by:	Anonymous on October 28, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	10.2.2
Actual Result:	a survivor will actively run straight through the beams scanline, but the drone completely fails to register their presence. No sound cue plays, no lock on stack is added
Expected Result:	when a survivor runs or walks through the beam normally they should get tagged by the moving drones beam
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Sometimes
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	i have provided a short video and screenshots of the survivor running through the drones scanline without getting scanned.

Steps to Reproduce

Play matches normally as the Skull Merchant.
Deploy drones around the map
Play through matches until the bug randomly triggers
In some games a drone will intermittently ignore a running survivor sometimes scanning them normally, sometimes missing a scan, and other times failing to scan them at all.

Explanation

when a survivor runs into the drones sometimes they wont be scanned at all or wont get scanned sometimes. I experienced this bug in 1 to 2 patches ago but its becoming more common for me in this current patch aswell. The drones are active and rotating normally. Other survivors in the same match get scanned just fine, the power isn't completely disabled it just selectively ignores certain survivors. This bug happens randomly and is inconsistent.
