Summary
When Pickaxes are disabled during games, some players can still use their Built-in Emotes to summon Built-in Pickaxes. This enables bad actors to wipe out lobbies during game phases where combat should otherwise be turned off.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?
Character
Steps to Reproduce
- Equip a Pickaxe in your Locker that includes a Built-in Emote.
- Bind a secondary input to your Emote wheel.
- Select your Built-in Emote wheel whenever you cannot emote.
- Your Pickaxe will now be equipped.
Expected Result
Players should be unable to use any Pickaxes during these periods. The only thing that enables them seems to be a secondary emote input, which we can’t account for. We use Class devices to switch players’ ability to use Pickaxes on and off.
Observed Result
Instead, players are able to equip their Pickaxe and hurt other players when they shouldn’t. There are times in the game where you fight others with Pickaxes, but this is not one of them. Players can only equip Pickaxes through this bug.
