Bug #3937

Wesker Vaulting Bug in Higher Locations

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	Ding-Joe on June 1, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	9.6.2
Actual Result:	At most of the vault locations above ground, Wesker falls to the ground slower than expected and makes no vault sound.
Expected Result:	Only at the window above basement in main building in Ormond Resort, Wesker smoothly falls to the ground and makes vault sound as expected.
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	This bug was addressed in 9.5.0 but not completely solved. 9.5.0 "Fixed an issue where The Mastermind would briefly float in the air when vaulting from a higher vantage point while using Virulent Bound". The period of floating is indeed shortened by a little bit. However, by watching the video clips you can see it persists, obviously. What's more, after 9.5.0 Wesker makes no vault sound in such locations.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Virulent bound towards a vault location whose other side is above the ground.

Explanation

When Wesker, the Mastermind launches virulent bound towards a vault location whose other side is ABOVE THE GROUND, he makes no vaulting sound effect and does not fall smoothly to the ground.
Instead, when vaulting the window, he does not get downward acceleration, as if he is vaulting a window on the ground. After vaulting, he stands still with 0 downward speed, and starts to fall.
This bug has one exception: the window above the basement in the main building of Ormond Resort. For unknown reasons, Wesker correctly gets downward acceleration when vaulting, grounds faster and makes audio cues to survivors.
This bug is bad for both killer and survivor, because it not only slows Wesker, putting him in disadvantage when chasing survivors, but also prevents survivors from hearing the audio cue of Wesker vaulting.
I expect all vaults in higher locations be like the vault over the window above the basement in the main building of Ormond Resort.
