Summary
The Kneecapper and Ballistic Shield’s Sprint, Bash, and Jump effects stay when you are eliminated. When you respawn or are rebooted you still have their effects.
This could affect Blitz, Reload or BR if these items ever return, and is actively affecting creative maps.

Additional Notes
Persist through deaths and reboots, the only way to get rid of it is if the user gets the item again and holds it out.
I had a 100% repro rate
DOES NOT happen with the Typhoon Blade (at least from my testing, saw it on other reports tho)
was happening in all Bullseye maps (0148-0322-5437) but we removed the items because of this bug.
Blitz has had the Kneecapper in it, so I just want to make sure you are aware of this bug, since reboots are a thing in that game mode.
