KillSwitch Revolver Bypasses Mutator Zone Fire Restriction

General Issues and Bug Reporting
1

Summary

There is a critical issue involving the KillSwitch Revolver and Mutator Zones with fire restrictions.

Issue:
When a player has a KillSwitch Revolver and enters a Mutator Zone where shooting is disabled, they can bypass the restriction by performing the following steps:

  1. Sprint.
  2. Jump.
  3. While in mid-air after sprinting, fire the KillSwitch Revolver.

This breaks the fire restriction and allows the player to shoot other weapons, throw grenades, and use items that should be blocked in the zone.

Expected Behavior:
All forms of shooting and item use should remain disabled inside the restricted Mutator Zone, regardless of weapon type or movement state.

Please investigate this, as it can be exploited in gameplay and breaks intended zone restrictions.

When my friend and I were playtesting our map, he noticed the same bug during the game. After activating the exploit, all the weapons could be used inside the mutator zone. That means any map that uses this mutator setup and weapon system is vulnerable to the same issue.
