Steps to Reproduce

  1. Grab a Blizzard Grenade
  2. Throw it
  3. Walk in the blizzard then walk out
  4. Observe damage still being dealt & slowness permanently, even if you consume heals

Expected Result

The Blizzard Grenade should expire / stop dealing damage & slowness after you’ve stepped out of the blizzard. The item description states: “A mini-blizzard in grenade form! Throw to create a Blizzard that slows and prevent sprinting while inside.”

So the item should only deal damage & slowness while the player is inside the blizzard.

Observed Result

If the instigator or the enemy steps into the Blizzard created by the grenade then they will permanently be dealt damage (7 per second) and will permanently be slowed.
