Salamanders failing to spit

Bug Description:

Salamanders in the Exiled Lands are unable to spit poison the way they normally do. They perform the full animation to spit, but no green ball is emitted and no damage is taken by the player (and poison debuff is not applied).

---

Installed Mods:

None

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Visit (eg) the coastline of M7 in the Exiled Lands (where there are plenty of salamanders)
2. annoy a salamander until it puffs up its cheeks and tries to spit
3. continue moving around at range (about 5-10 m should be plenty) so it continues trying to spit
4. you should see that the attack does not produce the green ball and damage is not received

At a guess, I would say this is probably related to the Abyssal Remnant also not managing to spit normally -

This issue is also persistent on the Official Servers as well, not only bound to SP/Coop.

Thank you - good to have the confirmation that it’s universal.

I’ve also just encountered spitting spiders that failed to produce their actual spit attack (again, they go through all the motions, just don’t launch the actual attack, despite acting as if they have). (Location eg Skittering Cavern on border of E/F5).

It seems like all of these spit attack problems are likely to be related, since it seems to be the same error in each instance.
