Charge / Eliminate Players after Respawning

Summary

If a player dies while sprinting with the Ballistic Shield (or Kinetic Bat or Typhoon Blade), then on their next respawn they will continue to sprint with that items “effect”. This includes their speed and the ability to damage players, even in zones when they should be able to effect other players. Players can eliminate others while in a “peaceful” starting lobby setting due to this.

Steps to Reproduce

1.) Pick up a Ballistic Shield
2.) Sprint with the Ballistic Shield (so it does the charging effect)
3.) Have someone else eliminate you as you do this
4.) When you respawn, you will be able to run into players and hit them as if you still have the Ballistic Shield (even when nothing is in your inventory)

Expected Result

The player should die, have no items on their next respawn, and no longer can damage while charging.

Observed Result

Players, even with no items, can charge into other players, damaging them and knocking them back in areas they should not be able to.
