When using some of the sandbox settings, confetti exploding do not count towards biome challenges. To get it to count, you have to avoid headshots and focus on torso and limb shots.

My current sandbox code is: AAAJABJACJADJAEIARFAGIAHJAFJAIEAKEAJDASGENDBAAAZBBBABDCAUBAMJBNCCVHBWLCACCOHCLDCMDCXBCYCDMJDAIDXIDNIDOIDYIAVCEXFCNDETKFLGFMJFOGFQCFRBFSBFUB

I have verified the 'confetti kill bug' exists in the snow and desert biomes.
 
Reproduction Steps
  1. Use the sandbox code in the main message.
  2. Enter snow biome
  3. kill zombies with headshots, causing confetti explosions
  4. Check you biome challenge status, and see that the kills don't count towards either of the kill counts.

Hello Ghostwheel,

thank you for reporting this issue. I can confirm that we already have this issue tracked internally.
Regardless of this, thank you for creating this post and the reproduction steps.

Can confirm there are additional issues caused by the Confetti/Celebration modifier.

While playing multiplayer with 2 friends, we noticed that enabling the Celebration death modifier completely breaks shared XP.

Observed issues so far:

  • Party members do not receive shared XP after kills
  • Kill attribution seems to break when the confetti explosion triggers
  • Animals killed with the effect may instantly disappear, making harvesting impossible
Looks like the Celebration/Confetti effect is interfering with multiple progression systems, not only biome progression.

Sorry for the poor quality video, but it shows at least one kill where I did not receive experience from the kill.
