Bug #5388

Skull Merchant Drone Placement Issue in Multi-Level Maps

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	Wezqu on July 11, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	10.0.2
Actual Result:	Not able to place a drone on the other level of the map when survivor is hooked on the other when it would overlap under the hook location
Expected Result:	Should be able to place a drone on the other level of the map when survivor is hooked on the other as long as there is no line of sight to the hook
Severity:	Blocker
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	This is not the same bug that was claimed to be fixed this is totally about the multi-level maps that you need to place drones on different levels. Like there is no need to have placement of drones to be this severe in vertical direction most definetely when it has no chance of even seeing the hook itself.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Play Skull Merchant
2. Chose map as The Game
3. Hook a survivor on one level
4. Go near the hook on the other level
5. Observe that you can't place the drone at all because of the hooked survivor.

Explanation

In multi-level maps like The Game, Midwich Elementary School, Underground Complex etc. Skull Merchant is prevented from placing a drone on the other floor near a hooked survivor that is hooked on the other. There is no good or valid reason why this is a case you should be able to do so if you want. It can cause you to not be able to use your power at all really in certain part of the map.
