Can`t carve (loot) after dead

[risotto]

Hi, i have problem carving monster after dead... I stay in battle mode and there if no "f" key for carving. Did i miss something? I try change weapons, mount and unmount...

if your still in focus mode you don't holster your weapon so the Carving button does not show up

Yep, gotta holster the weapon

I am experiencing this as well. I get out of focus mode, put away weapon and then my guy just has his slinger out. Won't put it away or anything. Idk what I am doing wrong

i'm having the same issue, my guy just has his slinger out and there's no prompt to carve loot. Switching to controller didn't help either

Just to be clear, you killed it, not captured it. Right?

Are you hunting with other players? If so, they may have chosen to capture the monster instead of killing it. There is no carving a captured monster. In multiplayer discuss whether or not you are capturing or killing before the hunt starts, or shortly after the hunt begins to avoid this fate. Either that or do solo hunts or hunts with friends who agree with you.

Another telltale sign of a capture is that the timer is much shorter after a capture than for a kill. You get 60 seconds for a kill, but only about 20 seconds for a capture. Was the timer short?
