As explained in the title if a player is inside a Mutator zone and then dies while inside, and respawns inside of it, any effects on the Mutator zone will not apply to the player.
Example: Shooting is disabled inside the Mutator Zone, player can’t shoot.
Player dies and respawns in the Mutator, player can now shoot.
Can confirm. My island is in chaos right now 
Players are fighting at spawns when it’s supposed to be a peaceful buy area.
The same issue here, can’t find the solution. Does anybody know how to solve this issue ?
Same

Having the same issue when I force the player to respawn in verse, Completely ignores the Mutator Zone
Still happening here… in march 2025. I’m using instant respawn verse code. Mutator zone is allowing gun fire in my lobby. When the mut zone is set to no shooting.
@ultranew_b A workaround I believe would be to spawn them outside of the mutator zone if using the verse player respawn function and afterwards teleport them back in essentially “refreshing” the disallow of item use.
Also this thread is old It’d be better to just report this bug using the new bug report form over here:

Sabrina, it still doesnt work as expected with the Invincibility setting. Can you see if the team can make that work with respawns too?
@AvatarNateMaps could you please start a new thread so we have your latest information? Thank you!
