Volley Fire: New valid target spawns will not be highlighted until a valid target is killed

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Bugs
1

Issue Description:

Volley Fire ability will not highlight valid new target spawns until a valid target is killed.

  1. Counterfire targets are also affected (New Scab and Dreg shooters that spawn while “Volley Fire” remains active will not be highlighted until a valid target is killed).
  2. Persists across multiple weapons, persistent with both hip-fire and ADS
  3. Killing an invalid target (one that isn’t supposed to be highlighted) will not validate proper targets
  4. Valid targets must be killed to highlight appropriate valid targets. Damaging a valid target will not highlight the non-highlighted valid targets

Steps to Reproduce:
*Demonstrated in Psykhanium, but this also occurs in missions as well.

  1. Enter Psykhanium, obtain good field of view for the multiple appropriate “Volley Fire” targets
  2. Enter Volleyfire and target enemies
  3. Eliminate a highlighted enemy and wait for respawn
  4. Verify enemy is not highlighted
  5. Eliminate a valid target
  6. Re-assess previous non-highlighted target

Ahh my search skills are bad. Couldn’t find the bug report on the forums

Edit: Do you know if there’s a repository of known bugs? Just so I don’t add anymore duplicates

When asked, a developer let me know that the ability only highlights enemies on activation (and subsequently, re-activation), as opposed to constantly throughout its duration.
