The game freezes when being eliminated and having trigger an item granter previously. It only happens on the 1st elimination in the game. If you end the game and Press play again the bug wont happen, you have to push changes. It happens in public matches too, check the island code I provided. The bug only seems to happen with item granter device. As shown in the video it does not happen with other devices.

  8. Walk in the Damage zone.
  9. The game freezes for about 1 second

Additional Notes

When testing the island code. The bug happend for me when I was with 3 players, not sure if it happens solo. Just have 2 players go in team 1 and 1 player go in team 2. Team 1 knocks a player on Team 2, and then finishes him. The bug happens

UCB-1046 incident has been created. Status is ‘Awaiting Validation’.

Workaround by Paperly:
Add a team settings and inventory device to your map with 1 item in it that is being granted on game start. This way the game freezes at game start rather than when a player is killed midgame. Not perfect but way better.
