crossbow bolts

[Obus]

Is anyone having or had trouble getting back the crossbow bolts?
I don't know if this is a bug or if the bolts were already destroyed (although I can see them), but I couldn't get them.
Destroyed bolts can't be taken back?

you can't interact with ruined gear (unless drop it).

Got it, so they were really spoiled.
Thanks a lot anyway.

I never seem to be able to retrieve a bolt from a zombies head. If they are ruined they are doing so from pristine after 1 shot!

That was one of the reasons I questioned it, as my bolts were all flawless and it was the first shot too.

Huh. I've been using it allot, and haven't had a single bolt go bad after say 3 shots. They take damage so I assume they take more when they hit "things" other than intended peeps or infected.
Body-shots seem 1hitwonders, so there is that.

Try using Pliers to pull it out .. I saw a YT video that mentioned Pliers, not sure if they said it was that way now, or planned for next update.

It doesn't make any sense to have to use pliers to pull out a crossbow bolt.
It seems to me that we really have some kind of bug here, because my bolts were new.
I emphasize that it was not with all the bolts that this happened and that is why, at first, I thought that it was about destroyed bolts.
It gives me the impression that in some places (in the zombie) the system does not access the bolt, no matter how much the character is looking/pointing at it.
Please definitely can any dev check this out?

theres a hotfix in current experimental version:
"Fixed: Bolts stuck in infected and animals could not be taken into hands directly"

so far i managed to get all the bolts out (unless ruined) of infected and animals, but i only used the improvised ones.

the plier is only used on humans afaik.

That's it, great, so indeed we have a bug here and I'm not going crazy (yet).
It didn't make sense what was (is) happening and that detail you tell us about there already being a correction in the experimental version is very important and clarifies everything for us.
I hope the fix comes as soon as possible for the current version.
Thank you very much!
