**Issue Description: During the block animation of weapons, there is a period of time – when no longer holding the block input – where the input queue is not registering the input for the weapon’s special attack.
This is notably different from every other input which activates immediately regardless of what point during the block animation you’re in when no longer holding the block key. Once you have let go the block key you can successfully input attacks, weapons swaps, ults, etc. However weapon special activations have a period where their inputs do not register.
I have reproduced the issue on two weapons below in the Meat Grinder. Although it exists regardless of whether or not you are with other players, this issue is exacerbated severely during actual gameplay. There are often times periods stretching out to almost 2, possibly 3 seconds where the weapon special input is not registered during actual matches if you input the weapon special during certain segments of the block animation. This means the game can drop 10’s of inputs during that segment of time. In the Meat Grinder the issue still exists, but is much less severe.**
Steps to Reproduce:
- Block with a weapon.
- Let go of block quickly.
- Input weapon special during specific frames(?)
- Weapon special does not queue.

I believe this issue to be most apparent on the Force Sword. There will be several instances here where you will notice the weapon special not queuing. As noted above, the issue is not as severe in the Meat Grinder, and so I missed the timing to replicate the bug in some attempts, but this issue is much clearer during matches when connected to a server with other players.

Below is a video for the combat knife instead. It is much more difficult for me to replicate this with the knife’s animation in the Meat Grinder than the Force Sword’s. Difficult enough that there were a few attempts where I’d accidentally attempt to queue the input while still holding the block key. However there are instances here where the input did not follow through despite no longer holding the block key.
