Heres a better video of it triggering: https://files.catbox.moe/zebumq.webm

After emoting with my companion I noticed that:

• You cannot interact with or pick anything up
• Enemies completely ignore you (Slightly wrong on this, they do ignore you but target your companion instead)
• Enemies only take damage from your abilities and your pickaxe
• Falling off the map doesn't kill you, only getting you stuck falling until you get booted for being idle
• Your companion disappears for the rest of the match (I was wrong on this, companion sticks around but seems to get stuck in places a lot or just turns into the blue orb like they do when you take damage and stays that way)
• Weakpoint markers do not appear when damaging objects
• Your abilities are delayed when being used by ~3 seconds having you stuck moving in place or in the wind-up of doing the animation
• Even if you use your ability to get a large chunk of the kills, contribute to the mission by using traps and building, you will recieve NO rewards for completing the mission.
• Excess materials (like wood while you're at 5,000) do not drop like they normally do as you do not actually receive the materials even though you are damaging them and it shows the counter in the bottom left as if you are gaining materials.

None of these occur if you do not use your companions emote AT ALL during the mission. I thought this was just lag at first, but it happened all yesterday too and I've tested this across 11 different missions today and each one that I used my companions emote it completely broke the game while the 2 that I didn't use the emote I wasn't affected by any of these.

Editing to add more info: This affects Dungeons too but differently. Its almost the same: your companion will disappear, husks will ignore you, you cannot pick up any of the keys, open any doors to buildings, or unlock the lock to the doors BUT no matter where you go the husks will just hit the air where your companion was and kill you almost instantly; this did not happen in normal missions even leading husks to where your companion was via a friend, launching them to the location or tunneling them in. In dungeons they just rush straight to the location of where you emoted w/ your companion and swing at the air, killing you as if you were just standing there.

From asking around on Discord and a few comments here, it seems to only affect the CTL Jr. companion. I've also tested these all with Fill On as the 1 time I tried it with Fill Off in Dungeons the bug didn't seem to occur. I've gotten it to trigger twice with Fill Off so I don't think its related to the fill option.

I'm not sure how it affects the MSK fight as I cannot get the emote started in time before I get attacked and pushed away/downed as your companion doesn't "spawn" in until you get teleported to the fight arena and taking any damage despawns your companion temporarily so even with high health/high healing build they despawn; I got it to work in normal SK fight, which had the same outcome as dungeons, where the Husks & SK ignored me but targeted my companion, and that counted as damage towards me.

So far my method for getting this to trigger has been doing the emote once while holding your pickaxe, then doing it again while holding the weapon in your first slot then trying to pick up and item or loot a container.

If you’re on here you got shot down by a 29 year old mom of 2, lol. Why feel the need to message like this? It’s weird, don’t be this person it’s just a game. 😂

After just spending over a month working on my game which is getting 0 plays. Starting to wonder why I even bothered when there is people just gaming the system, spamming brainrot and red vs blue recycled maps they bought off discord.

I don’t remember the last time I played a tournament and didn’t die to a cheater at least once.

If I don’t get a suspect apprehended screen on this I’m just going to give up on comp.

When I press the toggle edit or reset button it doesn't toggle the edit. It only functions as the reset button. What's the issue?
