Bug: Guard ignores Survivor during pallet detour

Guard ignores Survivor during pallet detour

Status: Duplicate
Added by:

Reported for:
Actual Result:
The Guard stubbornly heads toward the pallet, completely ignoring the Survivor even when passing right by them.
Expected Result:
The Guard passes through the dropped pallet at a reduced speed and continues chasing the Survivor.
Severity:
Major
Reproducibility:
Always
Platform:
Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:
On the Asian servers, many Survivors intentionally use this behavior to escape being chased by the Guard. However, it is unclear whether this is a bug or an intended mechanic, making it difficult to determine whether it should be reported as a glitch exploit.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Make a Guard detect a Survivor
  2. The targeted Survivor drops the pallet early.
  3. Verify that the Guard detours around the pallet and ignores the Survivor until it reaches the opposite side of the pallet.

Explanation

When a Guard is chasing a Survivor, dropping a pallet causes the Guard to take a detour. During this detour, the Guard will ignore the Survivor even if they pass directly by them, until the Guard reaches the pallet.

The same issue may also occur when a Survivor jumps over a window.
