Weapons disappearing when Combine users die

[1v4n94]

Why do weapons dissapear when we kill the legitimate user of the gun? Is it just to make us NOT GRAB the MP7 before certain time/location/chapter ingame?

Weapons dropped by enemies don't disappear. They might fall under the map due to a bug (the physics engine can sometimes go crazy) but they shouldn't disappear normally. You can pick the enemy weapons up for ammo, or if you don't have that particular weapon yet then you can pick up and use that weapon. That's how you get the MP7 in the sewers actually...

They dissapear just like when a dark energy ball (from the AR2) hits/touches a Zombie (for example). It's the same visual effect. I don't think it's a bug... maybe it's just some self destruct mecanism that the weapons have, to not let Gordon (nor everyone against the Combine) grab the weapons. Only VALVe knows, really...

Anyways, thank you for your answer, Tabush. It is much appreciated :)

Well if you're in the last stages of the game then that is possible. Don't want to spoil too much, but if you're at the end of the game, then yes, that could be intentional.

But up to like chapter 12 you should be able to pick up weapons dropped by enemies.

I have the same problem, I'm in route kanal and the weapons just desintigrade into air like the ar2's ball of energy, forcing me to only pick up ammo from boxes

i also can't grab any other weapons other than the 9mm, wtf??

Yes, that is annoying but the game will grant the player all weapons eventually, so don't you worry.
