It was in the final 3 rings on World's Edge. I heard keyboard typing, (that of someone crafting), and knew an enemy player was using the replicator. I ran up to them, surprised them, killed them, and then tried to take their item they had crafted. The game went "that item belongs to another player". Okay... sure... that's not a problem! Except it was.
The problem is that I didn't notice the item was locked at first, and kept trying to pick it up, and either from the first or several interactions of trying to take this item, ALL my abilities, inventory, healing items, grenades, etc. WERE LOCKED. I couldn't ult, I couldn't use my tactical, I couldn't pull out healing items, I couldn't throw grenades, I couldn't even open up my inventory. All I can do is shoot my guns and punch. That's it (besides being able to open up the healing, grenade, and emote wheels, but they did nothing, and getting into deathboxes, but that only helps so much). The only fix for this was to get knocked and revived by a teammate. (Which I'm assuming respawning would fix it too).
But the bottom line is, this bug shouldn't even be a thing. Let enemy players take crafting items right away. The whole point of locking the items was so your teammates can't be looting gremlin Octanes and snatch up everything you craft. It was a shield battery and the Ash who crafted it wasn't going make any use of it, because they were in a deathbox.
