Skull Merchant Drone Placement Bug: Drone Fails to Spawn Over Basement with Hooked Survivors

Status:	Pending Moderation
Priority:	Medium
Added by:	Anonymous on July 11, '26

Due date:
Reported for:	10.0.2
Actual Result:	Not being able to place the drone above the basement that has a survivor hooked
Expected Result:	Be able to place the drone above the basement that has a survivor hooked
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	I know this might be some result of the other Skull Mercant bug fix but in the end this is the wrong way of trying fix it. She should be able to place the drone on different evelation than the hook as long there is no visible way to see the hook. The video was done in the most recent version just today so this is not fixed and need to be either let through as new bug or the old one needs to be reopened.

Steps to Reproduce

Play Skull Merchant
Get survivor hooked in the basement
Try to place a drone above the spot where the basement is
Observe that you get the option to place it but no drone will spawn when you use it

Explanation

Skull Mercant can't place a drone in the sack if there is survivors hooked in the basement. You get the option to place the drone but when you do the drone does not spawn and you are just lifting your arm in the sky. Other killers can trap the shack so why would Skull Mercant not be able to place a drone in the sack itself when survivor is hooked in the basement its not line of sight and its not even hard to go around.
