Weapon Duplication
Assigned, NormalPublic

Description

It isn't major, but it should be looked at. Here's how it works / happened; When you are loading into a match, if you leave the game (my game crashed when I tabbed out so I closed it with task manager) at the right time, you load into the match with your stuff (anything in inventory so guns, consumables, ammo, and whatnot). When you're in the match, one of your teammates can kill you and the other can take your items (I directed them to do so through steam VC). When you reload the game you will still have your items and your teammates can leave with your stuff from the match. Basically, you can very easily duplicate items, and this is good damage control at small levels, but If I filled my inventory up with armor plates, legendary AR's, and base building materials, left at the right time, had one of my trio members kill me and take the stuff, had them both leave, I could repeat the process throughout our accounts, boosting each other infinitely. I think that this is important to address, because you have in-game items purchasable through real money that could be duplicated, e.g. weapons from a case from the battle pass.

Steps To Reproduce

(I haven't tried to replicate, but it would be very easy)
Step 1: Load into an encounter with a trio with at least one person with a weapon and the other with something in their inventory
Step 2: purposely "crash" your game with task manager as a certain point (I don't know exactly when, but I assume as your loading in, so It is preparing to place you in the match)
Step 3: Have 1 trio member kill you and the other take your items and leave
Step 4: Once you are dead reload the game and you will have the items in your inventory and your teammates inventory

Additional Information

This may only be possible with a non manual close, which happened to me. People may also be able to use something like a lag switch to kick themselves from the round quickly. Overall this just seems very abusable by anyone technically sound.
