perk not working randomly.
I'm noticing that some perks don't work as they should. For example, Dissolution didn't work even though the survivor jumped over the pallets and the thing came down. Then I thought, "It's a small and rare thing, I'll let it go." But I went to play trickster and realized that playing with Friends 'Til the End (good guy) it worked at first but then stopped working even when I put obsession on the hook. It happened randomly as if even the perks had RNG. Is it a bug or is it part of the game?

You wouldn't see auras with Friends Til the End if survivors are in the lockers, have Distortion, or if you were blinded by a survivor with Residual Manifest. Lockers also prevent the Obsession status from transfering.

Dissolution only works for 20 seconds after you hit a survivor. It doesn' work all the time AND it doesn't work when you are Undetectable.

i did notice make your choice doesn't work sometimes and the survivor will scream but not be exposed some perks so seem to glitch out every now and then especially aura perks for killers
i couldn't use bardic inspiration in a game i had earlier today, for no reason lol. some perks definitely are bugged.

"Lockers also prevent the Obsession status from transferring" I put the survivor on the hook with another one next to me and the obsession didn't transfer.

The perk selects a random survivor to transfer the Obsession status. And if that random survivor is in the locker, the status is not gonna be transferred to anyone. It doesn't select the next available survivor, it just doesn't transfer.
For Dissolution at least - I remember using it for a few rounds when the perk first released and was confused when the pallets didn't break as well.

I think that what I learned was it specifically says it has to be a FAST VAULT, so if they do a medium vault I don't think the pallet actually breaks.

I am not 100% sure if that'd be your issue though but that's just my experience. This game can be extremely wonky and buggy so I am inclined to believe you if you'd insist the perk(s) are acting stinky. Sorry if you're having any trouble homie.

Dissolution
Needs to be fast vault so if they slow vault the pallet it will not break.

Oblivious and Undetectable status effects also make it not work as one makes it impossible to hear terror radius and the other hides the terror radius.

Friend's til' the End
Obsession does not transfer if the survivor who it would randomly transfer is hiding in a locker.

but in this game, there were only two when I put it on the hook and the other one was close to me. But thanks for the tip, when I play survivor, I'll go into closets.

I was actually playing in behavior random mode. maybe the activation is random too. lol
