Bug #422

Inability to Place Additional Drones After One is Hacked

Status:	New
Priority:	High
Added by:	velmadink on December 20, '25
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	9.3.2
Actual Result:	Unable to use your drones
Expected Result:	You should just be able to place down all your drones
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Frequently
Platform:	Playstation 5
Additional Notes & Comments:	Out of the 3 matches I played in a row, this bug was present in all of them, the worst case being when I ended up chasing early for pressure and only had 1 drone down, meaning I had to play the match while only being able to use 1 drone. This killer has been quite buggy for a while now but this bug is game breaking for an already relatively weak killer.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Place at least one drone on the map
2. Have a survivor hack the drone
3. Try to place additional drones

Explanation

When playing Skull Merchant, when a survivor hacks your drone you can no longer place any additional drones. So if you have 3 drones on the map and one is hacked, you can only ever have 3 drones out all game, the only way to move them is to recall one and replace it, but you are still capped at 3. The button to place drones just doesn’t appear. Also there is still a bug where when you try to place a drone, she’ll perform the animation but no drone will appear.
