Swarmers AI and Animations totally broken in FNC|UEFN

Summary

The animations and AI for the “Swarmer” Wildlife type is completely broken as of v39.50. This unfortunately completely breaks a large-scale PVE game I’ve been working on for a long time.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Devices

Steps to Reproduce

Create a Wildlife Spawner Device, set the Wildlife option to Swarmer, and allow the Swarmers to spawn in Edit Play, Private Session or public release

Expected Result

The Swarmers should act exactly as they did in Battle Royale Chapter 6 Season 4 (Shock ‘N’ Awesome)

Observed Result

Instead, they have no animations and instead glide across the ground. They also do not attack players unless the player goes out of their way to touch the Swarmer, when they should be highly aggressive.

Platform(s)

PC

Video

for me it’s been instantly despawning everytime the swarmer spawns
