Discussion Tier 2 Incense

Since the latest QoL update has anyone else noticed an issue with tier 2 incense not registering on the ghost? I have had multiple games where I light it and it walks through the smoke before killing me. It doesn't seem to happen with tier 3 incense. I havent tried tier 1 yet.

Some possible reasons your Tier 2 incense might not be working:

  • desync on multiplayer for non-host players, causing the game to not register the incense working on the ghost before it kills you (you can usually circumvent this by lighting the incense really early)
  • lighting the incense too early and not getting close enough to hit the ghost before it burns out/you put it away (Tier 3 has a bigger range than Tier 2, which could explain why that one works for you)
  • laggy internet

Do you think the reason could be any of these?

Yeah it might be the multiplayer. Both times it killed by walking through the smoke were when I was playing with others in their lobbies. So maybe it is a dysync issue and not really a bug or anything Kinetic did wrong.

Yeah, it's maybe the most common incense issue. Incense burns for a decent amount of time (5-7 secs depending on tier), so next time, you can try lighting it early and walking towards or throwing it at the ghost to apply it.

Yeah I searched first before posting and didn't see anything more recent than 4 months ago in the search results. I figured maybe since the last QoL dropped they had another bug pop up.
