Bug #1093

Flashlight Save Glitch When Springtrap Exits Door

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	azotan on February 1, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	9.4.0 Auto
Actual Result:	Survivor grabbed in the security office gets successfully saved
Expected Result:	Killer doesn't get blinded and survivor stays on killer's shoulder
Severity:	Minor
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	Not set

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go inside the security door as killer
2. Have survivor enter the same door
3. Upon grabbing the survivor inside the security room, have another survivor blind the killer while he's exiting the door. It was a public match so I don't know if there's special timing on survivor side to have the save work, but from my perspective it looked consistent and happened multiple times without fail.

Explanation

A survivor can be flashlight saved when Springtrap exits the door after grabbing the survivor in the security office. The save is immediate before taking control of the character, so the killer cannot avoid it. If i remember correctly, this was deemed a problem on PTB and was supposed to be fixed on release. I think it was, but unless there was a decision to revert it and make it possible, I think it's a bug.
