You can go on knifing Zombies although the knife is already ruined. Why should it be fixed? Because it wasnt like that some updates ago and this „issue“ wasnt added as feature for sure😂 Sooo it is in fact a so named Bug. And bugs should be fixed - this site here is for reporting bugs („found a bug?“ :D). So thats Fine and it should be fixed (although i know That it wont happen but i still have very very little hope in bohemia belonging to Bug fixing🤣).

I've avoided this by immediately looking down when logging in after it happens the first time. Doesn't always help though, I assume this means it's an issue with the console processing the environment.
