Precision Air Strike (Orbital Gadget) Destroys Conditional Button

Summary

Orbital/Precision Air Strike Gadget completely destroys Conditional Buttons when the explosion occurs on the Conditional Button. I noticed that part of my Verse Shop UI mechanic stopped functioning after I used the gadget near the button. I further tested whether other weapons damaged or destroyed the buttons. I didn’t test all weapons, but all the ones that I did, did NOT do anything to the Conditional Button. This seems to only be the Orbital Gadget. I also tested if this problem occurred on other devices. Of all the devices that I tested, only the Conditional Button was destroyed, but again it wasn’t ALL devices.

Please refer to the video.

Is no one using the Precision Air Strike weapon? I know a lot of people use conditional buttons in playable areas. This is pretty important because it can break major portions of your game if you rely heavily on conditional buttons.

How was this determined? Airstrike doesn’t even work in the current build? If you all have a dev build where Precision Airstrike works and it no longer destroys Conditional Buttons, then that’s great. But, I went to test it just after I read this reply and couldn’t because now the item is broken.

I don’t know about Conditional Button, but until update to v38.10 (November 11, 2025) which broke Precision Air Strike to the point that now it is not possible to activate it at all, it was still destroying Vending Machines since the first day this item was introduced in v37.10 on August 26, 2025.

This is the second time that I am reading your feedback that you were unable to reproduce this issue with it, while at the same time it was destroying Vending Machines when I used it even in a live version of my map.
