## Change Log

### Patch 2.5.0

* ***Change:*** updated **Bamboozle's** in-game description to indicate that vaulting **Pallets** with **Bamboozle** equipped will not trigger the Entity-Blocker.
Survivors can continue to vault the dropped **Pallet** indefinitely.
	+ This addition was motivated by the introduction of The Legion in Patch 2.4.0, as they were the first Killer to even be able to vault **Pallets**, albeit only when using their Power. Nowadays, this also applies to The Mastermind.

## Trivia

### Reverse Bamboozle

* Since **Bamboozle** blocks a Survivor's ability to vault a Window, and one of the Twisted Skills available to Survivors during the Twisted Masquerade 2023 Event did the same to Killers, that skill was internally referred to as *"Reverse Bamboozle"*.

### Stacking

* **Bamboozle** stacks with all Unlockables that increase Vaulting speed.
* **Bamboozle** ***only*** applies its effects to vaulting **Windows** and does ***not*** work on vaulting **Pallets**.
* **Bamboozle** does ***not*** increase the Action speed when a Killer uses their Power to vault a **Window**.
	+ This specifically applies to The Legion performing *Feral Vaults* and The Mastermind using *Virulent Bound* to bound over them.
	If either Killer uses their Power, they will always do it at the action's default speed.
	+ This does ***not*** apply to The Shape, as he does not use his Power to vault Windows, despite receiving an Action speed boost while in *Evil Within III*.
* Originally, **Bamboozle** would increase **The Legion's** Vaulting speed for *Feral Vaults*, but this behaviour was ultimately disabled with the introduction of **The Mastermind** in Patch 6.2.0.
	+ Ensuing Patches reactivated the behaviour at semi-random intervals, which was confirmed by Community Moderator Amanda to be an unintended effect, leading to its definitive removal in Patch 6.4.0.
