Hero device completely bugged after the recent update

Summary

After transforming into a hero, when the player attacks another player, the hero’s own health UI immediately becomes corrupted, displaying an incorrect and stuck value(As in the photo below).

Following this, when the hero is attacked by another player, the hero enters a severely glitched state, affecting multiple core gameplay systems simultaneously. In this state, the player:

Cannot use any weapons (inputs do not respond)
Cannot switch items in the inventory
Becomes effectively immortal, taking no damage and unable to be eliminated

This broken state persists for the remainder of the session and does not resolve on its own.
