Summarize your bug When activating the "automatic grenade / knife throw" option (Instantly throwing the grenade or knife instead of having to equip it first), this bug starts to happen. When this option is on and you equip a throwable that has more than 1 copy (flashbangs, smokes or the new throwing knifes), the character will not only throw one grenade / knife, but throw all of them successively. This can be stopped by pressing the button that cancels the grenade throw (e.g. triangle on PS). This bug can be reproduced at any given time and on every platform. As I've already found multiple bug reports dating from Nov `21, I guess that this bug exists since day 1, but sadly hasn't been patched by now. Until recently, this bug wouldn't have been too much of an issue, but since you can use throwing knifes now, the bug starts to influence the gameplay drastically.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? First, you'll have to activate the option "Throw grenades and throwing knifes automatically" in the menu. Afterwards, join a round and press the button that throws the grenade / knife.
What happens when the bug occurs? The operator won't stop throwing until all grenades / knifes are gone. E.g. he / she is throwing all 3 knifes successively instead of stopping after one is thrown.
What should be happening instead? The operator should only throw one of the throwables. To throw the second grenade or knife, the player should need to press the button again.

Thanks for transmitting this bug to the devs to get it out of the game! Have a nice evening 🙂
