Bug #218

Skull Merchant's Drone Deployment Bug Post-Hook

Status:	New
Priority:	High
Added by:	Myraxol on December 12, '25
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	9.3.2
Actual Result:	No drone is deployed
Expected Result:	A drone is deployed
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Frequently
Platform:	Epic
Additional Notes & Comments:	Not set

Steps to Reproduce

1. Hook a survivor (optional, but makes it significantly it more likely)
2. Attempt to deploy a drone
3. Wait until Skull Merchant's cooldown ends
4. Attempt to deploy another drone to see if it's cleared
5. Repeat steps 3 & 4

Explanation

When attempting to deploy a drone as Skull Merchant, she fails to place it down, instead playing the animation without a drone in hand and putting her on cooldown without a drone. This is almost guaranteed to occur after a hook, and is especially common in certain areas where it can happen several times in a row. One of these especially bad areas is near basement after a basement hook. While being near basement makes this more likely to happen multiple times, it will usually only happen once after a hook, and that seems to "clear" the bug, allowing her to consistently deploy after the first failed drone.
