Pawns Keep Disappearing

[CptnSpandex]

They are supposed to stay with you until they die or you unsummon them but my 4th pawn keeps just disappearing half way through running a bloody mission, one second they are there and then they are gone leaving me with just myself and 2 other pawns, wtf ????, this has happened to me now 4 times already and i have had to come across just a random pawn to invite them to the group, worst thing is they F'd off with my tent and other items and they did not go into my chest.

I had a sorcerer pawn cast an aoe that destroyed a bridge she was standing on and down she went. Didn't die though, just blipped out of existence. I realized after that my "pawns always going missing" seemed to be if they lagged behind, got stuck, or tried to path to me in a stupid way that resulted in them getting too far away or falling off something.

I managed to keep one for 19 days, that's my record. It makes the whole concept of RC a bit useless, I wouldn't imagine spending anything on a pawn that's going to bug out.

Never found anything in my stash from them leaving like this, either. Dismissing yes, bugging out no. And even if it did, tent doesn't do me much good in the stash if I'm out in the wilderness, so they aren't allowed to carry anything which puts a damper on inventory management since they can't be trusted.

Maybe they just don't like you? Have you thought about it? 🤔

Were you near a body of water? I had a harpy like creature hit a pawn warrior off a cliff into the water. Shortly after it poofed because of the brine. You could have also been in the middle of a big fight and a pawn was downed. Somehow you were so focused on the fight that you didn't realize it and lost the pawn. The pawns will not always bring the down pawn to you and in the middle of a fight I realized that a pawn had been down with a timer at half way.

Again mate no, the most common way they are disappearing is whilst you are just moving and not fighting and nowhere near water, like i have said i check my party every few seconds just to make sure they are right on me and on these occasions one second they were there behind me and then Pooof they are gone.

Ah okay. I haven't had that issue. the biggest issue with pawns that I have had was when they would get stuck or far away on the minimap. I just call them to me and they teleport. Maybe they disappear back to the rift if they leave the minimap in distance from the player or something like that.

Just happened to me, finished a fight with some kind of lizard folks on some watery steps, look around, that's weird, archer is missing. 10 seconds later, hey where'd the thief go? It was like some kind of freaky horror movie. I looked at my main pawn and was like ok time to go back to town now. No message such as "soandso the dumbass pawn has been hit by a train" no nothing. Just... gone... Which makes me think bug.

Did it happen next to village with bandits? Because mine two pawns just dissapeared one by one over there

So I found this thread because I thought I was going crazy and had to Google...ya, extra pawns do disappear AND items dont get sent to storage.

However, I noticed this only happens to RANDOM pawns I hire; if I use my friend's pawns, they never disappeared on me unless they died and items went to storage.

This is just a theory, but I'm thinking your friend's pawns won't bug out and just disappear

Have not had a friends one bug out as yet and yes it is just rando pawns that do it, along with the gear they carry. One of mine i know for sure was actually capcoms pawn.

I have a screen recording of the 4th pawn being pulled through solid ground and dying. It was weird. I heard a noise, like a big stone door opening, turned around and saw the pawn slowing lowering through solid ground and was just gone from my group.

I dunno why/how tf it happened...

[Warfrost]

Yep- has happened to me several times as well. They don't die they just vanish. It's a big issue when it's my mage healer...they really need to get on this because the Pawn I hired and lost cost me 533 RC and I barely had him for an hour.

[Shankehz]

Makes me feel better thought it was just me and I was going crazy. Yeah was hoping it would be in storage but no deal. I'm not even mad at this issue considering I lost 20-30 hours with misclicking load from last inn. How many of you has that happened to ? Lol

[Warfrost]

I haven't but I did waste a wakestone lol

Same issue. Hired pawns just disappear and no they arent dying legitimately. Disappointing the game is in the state its in. Just when I thought Capcom was one of the few devs you could trust to release a polished product. They do this.

Its capcoms own pawns that do it bud, just make sure not to choose their ones and ya should be fine.
