| Actual Result: |
Bots crouch in place and do no actions while Jason is in Omnipresent Evil, and remain that way until Jason exits Omnipresent Evil. If during the Endgame Collapse, bots will not move or leave the Trial if they were not already actively inside the Exit Gate doors, or actively using an Exit Gate Switch when The Slasher enters Omnipresent Evil, and will remain still until Endgame Collapse kills them.
|
| Expected Result: |
Bots should move and perform actions as normal, even if Jason is in Omnipresent Evil or not.

| Additional Notes & Comments: |
Tested on multiple maps, with human teammates or with all bots. I took more clips, but they're over 500 MB, so I uploaded them to YouTube unlisted and will leave the links here: https://youtu.be/TUtWmDyPPHY https://youtu.be/-aIsrFnrp5Y https://youtu.be/UWZomTqe2iE https://youtu.be/EB6K0uFaotQ https://youtu.be/IyMGPpjSobw

Steps to Reproduce
- Load into a match against bot opponents, while playing The Slasher.
- Let the game proceed until Endgame Collapse has been triggered.
- Enter Omnipresent Evil mode while the bots are outside of the exit gate doors, and are not actively using an Exit Gate Switch. Bots will almost immediately crouch and cease all movement.
- Leave Omnipresent Evil, at which point the bots will immediately start moving around and performing actions as normal.
Explanation
The Slasher, when entering Omnipresent Evil during Endgame Collapse, will cause bots to immediately crouch, until Jason leaves Omnipresent Evil, at which point they will begin acting as normal. This was formerly consistently replicable with the release version of Silent Shadow, if you entered Omnipresent Evil while still under the effects of the 13 seconds of Undetectable from Silent Shadow, but now no longer occurs with Silent Shadow equipped, but was seen occurring during Endgame Collapse with a full bot Custom match, and all three remaining bots died to Endgame Collapse despite a door being fully open. Further testing revealed bots consistently crouch in place while The Slasher is in Omnipresent Evil if they were not actively in chase when The Slasher entered Omnipresent Evil, even during the Endgame Collapse, either never touching Exit Gates Switches, or walking a few steps and then crouching if chased off a door while outside Omnipresent Evil, then entering it. Even completely leaving the area, while still in Omnipresent Evil, did not cause the bot to resume motion and return to open the 80+ door they were chased off of, despite it being all of 12 meters from the location they froze. Even with a human teammate, the bot will freeze and crouch as soon as The Slasher enters Omnipresent Evil, and will remain crouched, even right next to an open exit gate, unmoving (other than occasionally doing the pointing emote), up to and until the Endgame Collapse kills them.
