Thunder Hammer's special attack procs on dead/cosmetic barrels

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Bugs
1

Issue Description:
I’ve seen this before around the most recent patches where my thunder hammer would seemingly hit thin air, only for me to realize that in fact it did hit a barrel which was already exploded or it was a texture. I couldn’t quite get a clip before but now I think it’s clear.

Not only does this completely devour the attack but it also triggers the self stun, meaning I can ‘whiff’ an attack against a disabler right into a dead barrel and then die because ‘I didn’t kill the disabler’.

I have never experienced anything like this prior to patches 14 or 15 and I would imagine this bug applies to both hammers, though I have only tested with mk2 thunder hammer so far.

Steps to Reproduce:
Pick hammer
Charge special
Hit barrel (I think it’s a cosmetic/texture barrel) with a heavy (possibly light too, did not try that but has to be charged with a special action for the bug to occur)

Mission Name (If Applicable):
Any, requires barrels

This happens with chain swords too. On unused Barrels and dead barrels you can use the Rev Special Action, attack barrel then it bleeds.

Can agree, heavy eviscerator can attach and rev through dead barrels instead of enemies. Have not tried with a regular chainsword yet but I assume it is exactly the same.
