Steps to Reproduce

  1. Knock down a player (by any method)
  2. Revive the player using the Down But Not Out device via a function
  3. Observe the player behavior after the revive, especially with Mutator Zones, volumes, and certain Verse functions

Expected Result

After being revived, the player should continue to properly interact with all systems, including:

  • Mutator Zones
  • volumes and their events
  • gameplay restrictions applied by Mutator Zones (shooting, emotes, etc.)
  • Verse functions and logic

Observed Result

After being revived via the Down But Not Out device:

  • Mutator Zones no longer apply correctly to the player
  • volume events are no longer triggered for the player
  • gameplay restrictions applied by Mutator Zones (shooting, emotes, etc.) may stop working
  • several Verse functions and systems no longer affect the player

Platform(s)

Additional Notes

This issue occurs consistently with minimal setup and seems to break the player’s interaction with multiple systems when revived via a function instead of normal revive behavior.
