Discovered a Game Breaking Exploit That Needs a Fix

Issue description

An exploit allows a player to throw two grenades with almost no delay between them (any grenade type).

Why this is severe

Normally, when two grenades are thrown at a player, the first explosion most likely applies damage to the health and knockback the target, causing the target to be displaced so the second grenade landing in the same area will often miss or deal reduced damage.

But with this exploit, both grenades resolve damage almost simultaneously, effectively bypassing the knockback displacement. This results in both grenades dealing full damage, which can instantly eliminate a player.

Where it occurs

This is not limited to the firing range and can occur in normal game modes.

Disclosure note

I’m intentionally not posting reproduction steps publicly due to the severity of the issue.

I can provide exact inputs and conditions privately to Respawn/EA staff.

The attached video demonstrates the behavior but does not show any steps or setup required to reproduce it.
