Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	ethandsyt on January 23, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	9.3.2
Actual Result:	Searching all 5 boxes on the map, something that's supposed to be impossible, because of a scream.
Expected Result:	Searching the correct amount of boxes, max possible number being 4, and removing the Reverse Bear Trap.
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Rarely
Platform:	Playstation 5
Additional Notes & Comments:	While I'm guessing extremely rare, this experience was very confusing and obviously frustrating.

Steps to Reproduce

Receive a Reverse Bear Trap.
Search a Jigsaw Box.
Scream right at the very end of the interaction over (what I'm guessing is) any means.
Presto, boxes won't help you anymore and you can now search more than 4 boxes and *still* be unable to remove the trap.

Explanation

Screaming right at the end of the search interaction seems to break the searching mechanic, and I'm 99% sure there's nothing you can do about it if it happens. I've confirmed post-game that I received the “MACABRE SEARCH” score event, Billy laughed, and the box's aura was no longer visible after all 5 searches.

Not only should it be impossible to search all 5 boxes, but even after searching the 5th box, the trap did not get removed.

I realised the situation and tried to get in chase with The Pig to pause my timer and survive for longer, but at that point I was a bit lost on what really to do.

I was able to re-check the 4th box I had a hunch wasn't searched properly in match due to the scream (wondering why the aura wasn't showing anymore, however), and found that it couldn't be re-searched and the prompt was missing.

I accepted my fate and decided to just use my plot twist to avoid dying to the reverse beartrap. If I played more efficiently I could've technically hidden better and been able to waste more time, and it might've even been possible for me to escape through hatch by surviving long enough this way, if my teammates were extremely efficient too.
