I can confirm this bug

I believe it works when set to “Elimination” instead of “Damage” ? I know it did for creatures though. But yeah still a bug :+1:

Confirmed, seeing the same problem even after today’s update. Guards take no damage from Damage Volumes even with the correct settings.

This is still an issue, and has not been fixed, it’s been reported many times. If staff could give an update that would be great

Can also confirm this bug, and as a matter of fact the only volume device that can detect guards whatsoever is the skydive zone
