Looted Weapons Disappearing

[Lichdemon]

Exactly as the title says. After update 2.0, almost any weapon i loot off of a body doesn't appear in my inventory. I've quicksaved just before looting the unique, Buzzsaw, and every time I pick it up, it's just gone. I don't know what to do.

did you used to have mods?
did you use a previous save game?
did you uninstall the mods (that is, if you had them) or just disable mods?
are you a Vortex user that used Vortex to remove mods?

if the answer is yes to any/all of those have you tried using cyberclean?

its a bat file to remove any left over bits of code from mods.

man, if i had a penny for every time i've typed this... I'd have 10p XD

Buzzsaw is/was an amazing weapon, I feel your pain

[Lichdemon]

Turns out the drop comes as a 'broken' item, which essentially just gives you the recipe for the weapon x.x

I'm using a clean install of the game.

I've picked up several weapons from various gangs and they're not showing in my inventory. I never saw any message saying the weapon was broken and that I got a recipe.

The "broken weapon" thing was throwing me off a lot too. I thought it was a bug till I finally noticed it show up a small window on the lower right mentioning the gun was "broken". This kinda sucks a lot. I get that it was likely done to help stop people from ending up with very cluttered inventories but at the same time that was how I got most of my weapons starting off. Now I barely find anything if at all.

An interesting choice for them to make, I wonder if there is any system in place to determine if it is broken in combat or not, shooting it, hitting it with a sword etc. Maybe 1 shot kills will prevent 🤷‍♂️ (haven't got that far yet)

I mean, you can do 1-2 ncpd scanner missions and go buy whatever gun you want from the shop.

it should be noted the broken weapons also auto scrap into crafting mats.

I've found myself not having some rare weapons I've looted from a container that I know for certain weren't broken but still aren't showing in inventory.

Edit: just checked crafting and see I got the blueprints. Threw me off seeing the weapon stats and didn't notice any distinction that I was looting the crafting specs and not the weapons

[DugiHowser]

I noticed this too and thought mine disappeared too however, its not the case. The buzzsaw weapon was the blueprint and not the actual. Also keep in mind that the blueprint is T1 and you can find at the bottom of the list pretty much.
PS All broken items ie: weapons etc get dismantled automatically.

Discovered this already, but thank you! ^.^

I will definitely have to try to create a mod to remove this “feature.” I like when I pick something up, that I can expect it in my inventory. How is it immersive to have tons of broken guns on every looted body.

Exact same problem, same weapon, no mod. I reload, loot again, no new weapon in my inventory.

You mean the Buzzsaw? Check crafting, in the greens ones, now you can craft the Buzzsaw.

yeah i have redone this area about 5 times now reloading different saves it does not drop at all and it is not in my crafting menu ive looked trough it 20 times every single item seems it is bugged

edit
ok so i finally got her to drop it i killed everyone around her except her and left combat and came back saved and i let her shoot at me a few times and didn't quickhack her before killing her then she dropped the crafting recipe extremly strange bug

also for the psalm 11:6 in the area right next to buzzsaw the loot chance is not 100% had to reload 3+ times to get it to drop using the same tactics of baiting him to switch weapons and shooting me
