This guy knows what he's doing in every situation. Great caller, very consistent, and reviews like crazy. pick him up

I use no hats mod because it gives me more consistent frames, but I noticed a possible exploit. Whenever anyone in the server changes loadout/class, my game stutters for a moment as it tries unsuccessfully to load the model, and it throws up an error in my console saying the name of the cosmetic it couldn't find. This means that you can tell when the enemy offclasses from anywhere on the map, instantly, just by checking if any cosmetics of a specific class were loaded. I was wondering if this was a known exploit and what should be done about it. I know a similar effect can be achieved with spy's disguise kit, but the no hats method is instant. Should this be considered an exploit?
