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.

Additional Notes

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.
