Mutation kills won’t progress

[Mortazah_Morty]

Hard to use the bow “late-game,” when my kills don’t count and I am unable to acquire the sharpshooter mutation. Hasn’t budged from 10/40 kills with the bow.

I already posted this and noticed it too.  its inconsistent and some kills dont give you credit.  I know neutral insects dont give you any credits but anything that alerts a threat SHOULD give you credit.

it may also be worth noting that kills from spicy or shattered proc dont give credit to the weapon used unless the weapon got the final hit. so trinkets that apply effects can steal the kill, or some weapons with built in effects can prevent the kill count. for instance using the coaltana to kill spiders, if the sizzle builds up enough to deal tick damage and gets the last damage on spider it wont count as a sword kill. so using arrows if you use a trinket that applies one of these effects it may not count. havent tested this on effect arrows yet.(spicy/venom arrows etc)
