Killer Scream Perks Bypass Survivor Immunity Perks

Status:	Pending Moderation
Priority:	High
Added by:	fk9132 on May 21, '26

Due date:
Reported for:	9.6.2
Actual Result:	The three listed killer perks still send noise ping alerts to the killer, even though the survivor cannot scream. Iron Maiden, Doctor static scream and Phantom Fear function correctly as designed. Phantom Fear only blocks scream sound while aura reveal remains intended behaviour.
Expected Result:	Calm Spirit and Hardened should fully block all scream‑related noise alerts for the killer. All scream trigger perks must respect survivor scream immunity like Iron Maiden.
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Epic
Additional Notes & Comments:	Not set

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a custom match.
2. Equip survivor with Calm Spirit or Hardened.
3. As killer use these perks separately: ‑ Infectious Fright (Plague) ‑ Ultimate Weapon (Xenomorph) ‑ Friends ’Til The End (Chucky)
4. Trigger each perk’s scream condition against the survivor.
5. For reference test Iron Maiden, Doctor scream and Phantom Fear with same survivor build.

Explanation

Multiple killer scream‑based perks bypass the scream immunity of survivor perks Calm Spirit and Hardened.
This causes killer noise alerts to trigger even when survivors cannot scream, breaking intended perk counterplay.
