Summary

Item spawners have an issue that prevents players from shooting after picking up a weapon from an item spawner until you drop that weapon and pick it up again.

Steps to Reproduce

Does NOT happen everytime. In my case I have 80 item spawners in the map I am reporting this bug from 3729-0643-9775, and i just go around the map picking up weapons from different item spawners and attempting to shoot, EVENTUALLY you will run into an item spawner with the issue.

Expected Result

Players should be able to shoot their weapons with no issue.

Observed Result

Sometimes players cannot shoot their weapon.

Platform(s)

windows

Additional Notes

This issue is game breaking. As some players cannot shoot weapons from their whole load out in some occasions since the bug is random and happens to different item spawners each round.

This may be affecting item granters too, as I have experienced a similar issue with gun games and random weapons not firing.

this appears to affect every way of giving weapons to players - Item Placers, Item Spawners, Item Granters, etc.

I also have this happening using class designer and selector. Usually its just one gun that doesn’t shoot for example on my class with pump and submachine its the submachine gun. on the class with only havoc it happens to the havoc. I haven’t publsihed the map yet so im not sure if its only during a playtesting session
