Status:	New
Priority:	Medium

Due date:
Reported for:	Splitgate 2 August Relaunch Playtest #1-2

Steps to Reproduce

1. Join a match in playtest 2 build.
2. Wait for a power weapon to spawn.
3. Go to pickup the power weapon and start holding the interact button to do so.
4. While picking up the weapon and holding the interact key, get killed by an enemy.
5. You should now respawn with the UI tooltip for picking up power weapons remaining on you screen.
6. Hold the interact key and get a power weapon into your loadout after the pickup delay.
7. You now have a functioning power weapon despite not being near a pickup point. The pickup point might've been used by you remotely.

Explanation

In playtest 2 only so far. I had a bug that let me pick up a power weapon from anywhere on the map.

In a match, while currently picking up a power weapon by holding [F] I got killed while holding the interaction button. After respawn I still had the UI tooltip that told me I could pickup the weapon, despite the fact that I respawned at a different location, not near a power weapon. I could hold the interact key after respawn and "pick up" the power weapon.

I am not sure if this despawned the power weapon pickup and whether there were more power weapons than intended in the round at that point.

I was not able to recreate this a second time due to the requirement for high timing coordination.
