Bug - Item dissapeard

[Shoninya]

i just got a really got weapon through fishing. "swordfish". but after relog it was gone ;(

(its in non secondary slot)!

can i ever get it back? already fished an hour again at the same location where i got it with fishing perk but got nothing

You dropped the weapon. With fish items like the swordfish and pickaxfish when you use it you have a chance to drop it. If they happens a blue circle will appear on the ground where the fish item will land. If you don't get there in time you lose the item. I dont know if you can get another one or not

I really hope they're catchable again; it's very disappointing to have lost my shankfish because I had several mobs fighting me at once and too much on the ground for me to see where the blue circle was.

The fished up weapons in Crashlands 1 were some of my favourites so I was hoping these would be like those, but alas. :(

Edit: Just fished up a second shankfish! So, at least they are replaceable!

There is a chance of dropping our weapons when we use them? Either I'm not understanding this, or this is a horrible design choice.

There are a few weapons/tools that you randomly catch when fishing. You can catch them more than once. They're generally pretty overpowered compared to a lot of the crafted weapons (depending on when you fish them up!)

Their gimmick is that they're "slippery" so that they fly out of your hand sometimes while using them, and unless you catch them they disappear. That ONLY happens with these weird fish tools/weapons.

Gotcha! That's not so bad. Thank you for the explanation.
