Survivalist Does Not Go On Cooldown When Proc'd by Teammates

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Bugs

Issue Type (Required):

Talents

Issue Description (Required):

First noted by @sunmelt, filing a bug for this.

When teammates kill elites/specials to proc Survivalist, the aura does not go on cooldown. It visually goes on cooldown when the Vet aura owner kills an elite/special but based on some limited testing it seems like teammates are still able to proc the aura though the Vet cannot.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  1. Play Veteran with Survivalist
  2. Have teammate kill an elite/special while in coherency
  3. Aura does not go on cooldown and can be proc’d again by either the Vet or another teammate.

Second Scenario:

  1. Play Veteran with Survivalist
  2. Kill an elite/special as Vet.
  3. Aura goes on CD
  4. Teammate kills elite/special while Aura still on CD.
  5. Aura is proc’d again.

[PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

Yes, but I haven’t tried disabling them

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

First Scenario Video:

Teammate kills Sniper, I kill sniper just afterwards and get +1 ammo both times.

Second Scenario Video:

I kill the Sniper putting Survivalist on CD, teammate kills Sniper just after and I get +1 ammo for both kills.

Test it again when connected to a live server, not in a local game.

EDIT: Bug is confirmed on live servers.

Testing on live server, the behavior is maybe a little different but still broke. I’ll note that the other Veteran in this clip is also using Survivalist.

Clip 1: Here I kill two gunners with one attack, causing Survivalist to go on cooldown and it provides ammo to the Psyker. Immediately after this attack, the Psyker kills the gunner behind with what looks like a Kinetic Flayer proc and gets a second helping of ammo. The Ogryn kills the last gunner for a third serving of ammo.

Clip 2: I kill a Bulwark and Survivalist procs, giving ammo to both the Psyker and other Vet. Ogryn isn’t in coherency. There is no ammo given when I kill the gunner immediately afterwards. This is expected. The next elite to die is a Crusher from the Vet, but I think he’s out of coherency so it only procs on him. The next elite after that is a Crusher kill from the Psyker with all 4 in coherency which causes a proc but does not put my Aura on cooldown. Immediately after that the Psyker kills another Crusher but no one receives ammo. And finally immediately after that I kill a Crusher with a Revolver shot and everyone receives ammo again.

Perfect change. This ability was never supposed to have a 5-second cooldown.

It absolutely was and if you think it’s ok for Ogrynheimer to get that kind of boost in ammo efficiency for free I question whether you play the game with your eyes open.

So THAT’S why my Plasma Gun seemed unusually ammo efficient these last few Missions!
:joy::joy::joy:

its seriously ogryn time in the meanwhile. got a 2.3 million damage hi intensity just gauntlet punching all game and using the paul special on cooldown. I physically could not run below 30 ammo.

This was actually how it was when the game came out and I forgot, lmao how absolutely bonkers.

i played a havoc 40 as of this hotfix as twin linked gunlugger and this time i didnt even need to think about proper ammo management
i just spent the entire game shooting and made the game pretty unplayable for everyone else, and it didnt matter cuz old survivalist is unhinged
this is like
really bad lol

Spamming GG punch is my favourite Ogryn meme build. Man I wish there was an Ult or keystone option that had any synergy with it whatsoever.
