Bug #584

The Animatronic Killer Instinct not detecting survivors post 9.4.0. PTB update

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	rexdoge on January 6, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	9.4.0 PTB Auto
Actual Result:	Fire Axe's AOE bubble has no effects on survivors whatsoever.
Expected Result:	Survivors walking through the Fire Axe's AOE bubble should be revealed via Killer Instinct.
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	Potentially very strong bug in favor of The Animatronic if the lack of Killer Instinct also blocks survivors from gaining effects from Foxy's Hook. Untested.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Throw the Fire Axe and let a survivor walk into the AOE bubble.
2. If the Fire Axe barely misses a survivor, the survivor WILL be affected by Killer Instinct while the Fire Axe is traveling.
3. Wait for the Fire Axe to land and create the AOE bubble.

Explanation

The Animatronic's Killer Instinct from his Fire Axe's AOE does not work anymore after the 9.4.0. PTB. Throwing the Fire Axe does generate the AOE bubble and The Animatronic's addons relating to it do work (At least for the Killer), but survivors are no longer detected by Killer Instinct and, potentially, do not get the effects from the addon Foxy's Hook.
