| Reported for: | |
| Actual Result: |
Survivors perform a strange exaggerated brow lift and distorted facial expression while pointing. Other facial animations throughout gameplay also frequently appear broken, missing, or distorted.
|
| Expected Result: |
Facial animations should look natural and consistent.

| Severity: |
Minor

| Reproducibility: |
Always

| Platform: |
Steam

| Additional Notes & Comments: |
All survivor facial animations have been bugged ever since the Real Beyond update, when all survivors received their visual and animation rework. Since then, facial expressions across the entire survivor roster have appeared unnatural, distorted, overly exaggerated, or improperly synced during various animations and emotes. The pointing emote is currently one of the most noticeable examples because it causes a strange exaggerated brow lift and awkward facial deformation.

Steps to Reproduce
- Enter a match as any survivor.
- Observe the survivor’s facial expressions.
Explanation
Survivor facial animations appear to be broken, especially during the pointing emote. When pointing, survivors make an unnatural exaggerated brow lift and distorted facial expression that does not match the animation. The issue affects all survivors and looks very noticeable in both gameplay and close-up camera angles.
In general, survivor facial animations have felt broken ever since the survivor model rework. (Real Beyond) Many expressions appear stiff, distorted, or fail to play correctly.
The pointing emote is currently one of the easiest ways to reproduce the issue consistently because the eyebrows and upper face deform unnaturally.
Similar facial animation problems have been reported by players for years across multiple updates.
With this said i think the facial animation's should be looked across all survivors and be fixed (reworked) since it causes them to look disorted.
Watchers
