Gameplay bug fixes

The rest of the patch involves smoothing out some bugs here and there. Some of the more pressing bugs that have been fixed were the issues where the Attacker was removed from the match is they injure a hostile that is later revived and eliminated by a Defender. Another fix lay in the ammo counter not flashing red after switching weapons. Muffled sound is now heard on some weapons. Defenders can vault on top of an unreachable location and secure a win for their team in the Doktor’s Curse Event.
