It’s a thing, pointing a flashlight at a demonhost will tick it off and eventually aggro it. It’s probably that way because it was that way for witches in left 4 dead, which is what demonhosts are based on
As for why it attacked you, not sure, but I’ve had similar things happen. Taunt for a while would cause demonhosts to just attack a random target, no idea if flashlights have similar stuff going on
yeah my flashlight wasnt on. She’s running weapon customization so it just shows teammate’s flashlights as always on unless you mess with settings a bit. That’s all client side.
Edit: and I just rewatched in 0.25x, my flashlight didnt even point towards the host until after she woke up
Waffle was running plasma/dueling sword. I dont remember what the other psyker was running. I dont recall either of them doing anything that could anger the host either.
What I find weird is that mechanically, the Daemonhost is supposed to agro on the person who woke/angered it, so either there’s an interaction with Sarah’s build that is causing it to agro, like the warpfire jumping to the daemonhost, the proximity of her warpflame can agro it, or there’s some other unknown, possibly bugged interaction we aren’t aware of.
She has another clip where someone else on the team had blatantly shot the host with a plasma gun, which got it to its warning state, I think, then it agrod on her from 19meters away while she was hosing down some groaners with warpfire
Not true, I’ve shut off and swept gun over DH before without triggering with weapon customization, and confirmed other players see my light going on and off.
another thing that might have happened is that you actually awoke him earlier, but noone of you were close enough to aggro any of you, and since no damage were made, that also played into it
i often purposly shoot at demon hosts in my games, i see them raging from a far, but they activate only when someone get too close, but i reckon this wasn’t the case, you were all close to him
OR it was your fault, if purgatus acts as a torch when its fired, but i’m more leaning towards waffle’s theory, he was the closest
