If one of the 2 last alive player in the round disconnects, it will cause the items to be usable even in the cash reward animation.
For example, if the 2nd alive player of the round disconnects, my items will still be usable during the cash reward animation, thus I could use a knife and the shotgun would be cut for the next round.
I was not recording else I would've provided some proofs because it was happening in a match.
