Relic Blade Overload Blessing requires a teammate to use the Crusher in the lobby for the sound effect to play (and maybe actually affects the explosion overload itself?

Issue Description (Required):

The explosion caused by the Overload blessing on the relic blade ordinarily has no sound effect. However, when a teammate is in the lobby and using the Crusher weapon, the explosion sound effect from hitting an enemy with the crusher after activating the special plays. This sound effect feels very appropriate and good in this place, so i assume it’s intended to play on the overload explosion properly, but is bugged and only works when an ally is using the crusher. Unable to test it but similarly i felt like i noticed the visual effects of the overload explosion being more prominent, and the stagger radius maybe slightly bigger, but it could be a psychological effect from just having a sound effect play.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  1. Equip a relic blade with the blessing Overload
  2. Load into a mission without a teammate using the crusher weapon.
  3. Max out the heat gauge on the relic blade and there should be no sound effect from the overload explosion.
  4. Load into a mission with a teammate using the Crusher weapon.
  5. Max out the heat gauge on the relic blade to proc the overload, and the crusher’s special explosion sound effect should play

I’ve done this multiple times with a friend and it’s the same everytime. It’s hard to say if there’s a difference in visual/gameplay effect however, requires further investigation.
