Blight Lunge Attack Bug After Rushing

Status:	Fixed
Priority:	High
Added by:	Anonymous on February 17, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	9.4.2
Actual Result:	Blight plays the attack animation, but misses entirely despite the survivor being in contact with the Blight
Expected Result:	The survivor is properly damaged
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Frequently
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	This is a huge source of frustration with this killer. Blight has plenty of bugs but this one is this worst, please look after it, fixing it would go a long way.

Steps to Reproduce

Have a survivor close to the blight but distance enough where he has to lunge
Bump somewhere
Rush, and in the same moment, press attack towards a survivor
If the survivor is not touching the Blight right away, it may cause the Blight to miss entirely

Explanation

If Blight lunges right after a rush at a nearby survivor, he cannot deal damage.

If Blight lunges the instant he begins rushing, he'll simply not land his attack. This is a bug that has been present in multiple versions of the game and is still happening until this day. This leads to losing many attacks that would have been guaranteed hits had the bug not been in place.
