When will Glitches with Potential Energy and toolbox be fixed?

Step 1 : Boot the game

Step 2 : Play as survivor with the perk "Potential Energy" and a toolbox

Step 3 : Begin repairing a generator.

Step 4 : Once "Potential Energy" activates, begin to "Store Potential Energy".

Step 5: Let go of the generator and quickly switch to repairing with a toolbox.

Step 6: "Potential Energy" will now charge with the speed of the toolbox, but no toolbox charges will be used.

Additional information

Given by the responses to the YouTube video linked above, this is a replicable bug. I do not wish to replicate this bug, as it is very game-breaking and seems, to me, like a bannable exploit. I would replicate it against a killer bot if those were in the game.

If I find anybody to replicate this bug in a custom match with, I will update this post with the logs and video.

No matter how many times I reported the bug, no matter how many times I reported the player who seemed to be the user on the result screen, it was never fixed in the latest patch notes, but rather, it was a neat

Unless this bug, along with OTR, is fixed, I will have to leave because I may have an advantage due to glitches just to have a buddy with a toolbox when playing Survivor. And of course during killer play. Why is this problem continually ignored?

    Its beyond me why potential energy isnt killswitched yet. This is not acceptable in the slightest.

    Oh wow that is a pretty major bug. Hopefully that gets fixed as soon as possible.

    remember when spirit had a bug on her phase sound that made Non-directional?

    What they did? Nothing, they didn’t kill switch her, everyone was playing her because of that

    So yeah, they will not killswitch because it is ‘’playable’’

    So I could not use Spirit in killer play at that time and I avoided survivor play as much as possible. Even then I thought it should be fixed or killswitched in an emergency patch immediately. This time it is a survivor perk and the impact is worse than that because I can't be bothered to play killer play myself.

    This is currently under review by the team - there is an active thread where comments can be left in the appropriate section here on the forums so the team can see them.

    • Platform: PC, possibly every platform
    • Description of the issue: Switching to a toolbox while Potential Energy is active (at least 1 Token) doesnt consume the toolbox even though it speeds up the Tokengain. After a short test in some custom games, this can save up to 15 seconds (no other perks used).
    • Steps to reproduce (worked 4/4 times as of now):

    -Start working on a gen without using the toolbox
    -Activate Potential Energy and get at least 1 Token
    -Immediatly stop repairing and switch to repairing with the tool box
    -Repair until potential energy has 20 stacks (toolbox wont be consumed in the process)
    -put in all 20 stacks
    -immediatly switch back to repairing without the toolbox
    -repeat

    By using an Engineer's Toolbox with Socket Swivels and Clean Rag, you can get a gen done in roughly 66 seconds (not using other perks and being solo). Using the toolbox normally would require roughly 80 seconds to repair a gen.
    • How often does this occur: Everytime you make use of it
