Is game afoot supposed to not work with killer powers?

Legion_S_Tier

just asking because I was playing demo and whenever I broke a pallet while chasing the obsession with my power, it didn’t activate the haste. Just wondering if this is intentional.

It does not work with Killer Powers:

Step 1 : Boot the game

Step 2 : Play as killer in a public match and use the perk Game Afoot

Step 3 : Initiate chase with the obsession

Step 4 : Break a pallet using your power

Step 5 : Notice you do not gain the Haste status effect when you do so

I suspect all killers with special pallet breaks are affected by this bug, but I only tested it on Nemesis and Bubba, can't be arsed to do the rest. Below you'll find video footage of the phenomenon and my PC log.

Hello, we checked in with the team on this one. This is intended - Game Afoot does not work with Killer Powers in that way.

ah okay thanks, that’s a bit unfortunate cause I don’t really see a reason for this perk to be ran if that’s the case

It is a bug. It just seems to be one the devs don't want to fix. At launch, the perk worked for killer powers at the very least, can't say I ever tried perks or addons. It currently still works like that on breakable walls. At some point, they broke it with pallets and only pallets. Since the post where they said it wasn't a bug, they've responded to other bug reports on this forum and reddit by putting it under review.
