Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Play a game or open the editor
  2. Task a non-khmer heavy scorpion with attacking a target
  3. Watch and listen as the heavy scorpion demonstrates its advanced silencing technology and occasionally pretends to be a khmer scorpion.

:point_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?
Heavy scorpion makes WHOOSH sound and doesn’t use khmer double firing animation.
