I think the specific bug with this is that they turn entirely silent sometimes when waiting behind the door like that. Seems to happen at certain doors more often, too. No idea why they’re waiting so long right behind the door anyway. It’s like they freeze and the ticking noise is tied to their movement or something

Specials wait at the doors for a short moment so they (normally) make sound and alert the players to their presence before exiting the door. In the betas and pre-launch, specials would instantly move through doors and it was pretty terrible for players to have specials like bursters, dogs & trappers instantly teleporting and attacking players through the doors.

another one added to my list

muties auch, ist schon zum alltag geworden

Your example is not “competely” silent. The same daylight map has one door after the first elevator, opposite to the medicae before you drop down.

Now that is a completely silent burster door.

Kairo?

I just had it happen where a completely silent poxburster ran up to me. I pushed it away and it exploded making 0 noise the entire time.

It didn’t even make that screaming noise when it was about to explode.

Only twice?? I get 2 a mission at least lol

Also they just appear out of nowhere. And combined with the bug that stops you from pushing, it’s a huge pain
