I was unfortunately not recording any gameplay from my session where I experienced this bug, though I had happened to catch the same bug on a previous stream of mine a few months ago, I believe it may have been in December. The main difference between that and my experience in the Blood Moon event matches is the sheer frequency increase of the bug occurring. I will be playing more matches as normal and hopefully will be able to report any new findings I come across, i.e. if it is attributed to the perk loadout, or only specific to certain vault points or maps, i.e.

Steps to Reproduce
- Play as The Good Guy or The Good Gal
- Perform a normal vault with the killer
- If Step 2 does not produce results, play with these specific perks: Brutal Strength, Bamboozle, Unbound, Fire Up
- If none of the above steps produce the result, I believe normal vaulting during an active chase with a survivor would be another consideration
- Finally, if all above steps are met and the bug is not reproduced, I think an effective step would be to injure a survivor to proc Unbound's effect, then vault after the survivor in chase within the 30s window for the perk to be activated
- One final consideration I had was that, given vaulting down from a 2nd story window or ledge of a structure typically reverts the camera bug back to normal, perhaps the vault to trigger the bug may also need to meet those requirements (though I can't recall it occurring solely for vaults meeting those conditions)
Explanation
While playing with either the Good Guy or the Good Gal, there are instances where performing normal window vaults will cause the camera to break, moving it to the inside of the head of their respective models. The backs of the eyeballs and mouth are in the center while most of the screen is completely obscured. In addition to this, there is excessive head-bobbing while stuck in this view, which can be nauseating to some. The entire experience becomes extremely disortienting when it occurs.
This would be something that would occur very intermittently in the past, to the point where it wasn't seen as that much of an inconvience, as it was so rare. However, since the most recent Blood Moon patch, I experienced it no less than 5 times across maybe 10-12 matches, sometimes twice in the same match played.
As of right now, the only consistent solutions I have been able to find are:
- Finding and breaking a breakable wall, which reverts to showing the normal animation of wall breaking for Chucky and Tiffany.
- Vaulting from a 2nd story window or ledge (This seems to have reverted the camera in the one instance I was able to find one to do so; Don't have enough experiences with this to know if it's a guarantee.
- I was able to revert back to the normal camera after managing to pick up a downed survivor, switching to the normal carry animation for the killer. After hooking them, it did appear to be back to normal, though I'm not 100% sure if the length which you carry the survivor plays a factor.
Things to note:
Breaking pallets, while it will switch to the normal view & animation of the Good Guy/Good Gal breaking them, does NOT revert the camera to it's normal view.
I solely played Blood Moon matches when I made these findings, though the bug has been a known, yet not-too-common thing in Normal Mode as well. However, I find the increased frequency of it during my session incredible worrisome, given that I do main the killer, have invested countless hours into them, (far beyond P100) & am ranked in the top 75 players for most scamper hits .
I'd also like to note that this typically happens while running my main go-to build with the killer, which is as follows:Brutal Strength
Bamboozle
Unbound
Fire Up
I figured this might be worthy of note, given that 2 do affect speeds of normal vaults, which this bug seems to be exclusive to.
I would finally like to add that, even though there are 2 sure-fire ways to fix this issue, it's still no guarantee that you actually will be able to. Navigating any given map while stuck in this view is nigh impossible, and you have to be extremely lucky to happen upon a breakable wall, or make your way up to a high-up window or ledge to vault over. And even further still, regardless if you do manage to fix the camera, the sheer amount of time this wastes playing as the affected killers essentially guarantees a free win for whoever is remaining in the match at the time which the bug occurs.
I can personally say that two of the matches it occurred for me on during my session were incredibly in my favor, one of which I would even describe as a "steamroll". So to have that experience ruined for something beyond my control and skill with my favorite character is not an enjoyable experience. I would just love to once and for all see this strange, once funny, but now just game-breaking bug (for the killer player) be gone for good.
Thank you for taking the time to read my synopsis of what I encountered. I tried to be as explicit and descriptive as possible, at least in relevance to the issue at hand.
