Explanation

There’s a bug where The Ghoul gets an M1 when vaulting over a pallet and attached to a survivor. Many ghouls have already been abusing this. You can’t counteract it because of the auto-aim, ghoul will vault the pallet after a survivor and instantly injure them or down them if they’re injured. I was injured and he used his power to vault over a pallet and then I was downed even though I was no longer near the pallet.
