Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

I don’t know exactly how Creative mode works, but I discovered an exploit/glitch/bug capable of ruining other players’ gaming experiences. This relates to custom weapons created in Creative mode and modified damage

Potentially, this bug has the ability to instantly kill people with weapons that the creator didn’t intend. For example, an RPG with base damage of 130, but when used with another custom weapon that increases damage by 100 percent, the launched missile will deal 230 damage. This depends on the increased damage.

It can also replicate the effects of custom weapons onto the weapon being used. For example, if the custom weapon teleports you upon damaging a player, by performing this bug, you will be able to teleport using any weapon that gives you enough time to switch to the custom weapon.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Have a custom weapon in your inventory with modified damage.

2. Have a weapon that launches projectiles or gives you enough time to switch to the custom weapon while it is dealing damage.
