I don't know if this works for other gamemodes like one in the chamber or deathmatch but, I recently encountered a bug in which after I was put into afk mode I got the prompt to disable spectator mode and then the gun game round started right when I went to disable it, and even though I hit the disable spectator mode, the game still put me in spectator, however I was still able to shoot people as shown in these two clips I have.
