Slide into the mutator zone area.
Quickly hit the “Leave Game” option.
While on the loading screen (before returning to the lobby), unplug the ethernet cable (disconnect the internet).
Close the application entirely.
Reconnect the internet and reload the map.
Upon re-entering the game, if the process is done correctly, the player will not receive any damage, despite being in active combat.
Expected Result
The player should not be able to exploit the mutator zone in this way and should receive damage as intended, even after reloading the map.
Observed Result
The player becomes invincible, as the mutator zone’s effect persists after reloading the map, preventing any damage from being applied.
