Being Eliminated while using Kinetic Blade movement often fails to fire Elimination Event

General Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

As my title states, whenever a player is eliminated when after having used the movement items on the kinetic blade, and whilst actively wielding it, Elimination events will fail to send. This can cause catastrophic failure to game logic especially in 1v1 style maps.

Seems to be similar to this one Kinetic Blade right click breaks EliminatedEvent
Team Settings Device Breaks Eliminated Events from players who use the Kinetic Blade Item

I haven’t used kinetic blade in a while but if it’s the same, a workaround was to get the elimination event using the elimination manager device (not convenient just throwing it out there in case it helps you)
