Ghost chests

Like...Iv'e watched chests open by themselves, why or how? Anyone knows? is it a mechanic that's part of the game that I'm not aware of?

  • It's some kind of bug

    I believe it's to do with optimisation

    I think when you're a certain distance away, objects like chests and such aren't rendered and are 'culled' to use the correct term. My theory is if a survivor opens it while it's 'culled' on your side it doesn't update until you're close enough for it to be rendered again. Which then plays the sound and opens the chest. It only happens that one time, too and never again.
