Pegomastax stole my stuff, but empty when killed?

[Scoob]

Hey all,

Wanted to check if this is normal or just some random bug...

Was out riding my Parasaur - quite early in the game - when I was attacked and robbed by a Pegomastax, taking my ENTIRE supply of stone arrows. No problem, I thought, I followed it and killed it, attacking from my Dino.

However, upon looting the Pegomastax, it had nothing on it at all, so my arrows were lost. Not a huge loss, but annoying none the less. I assume I should have been able to reclaim my items after killing the Pegomastax, right? I'm sure that's how things used to work when I played previously.

Note: Unmodified game, using default settings on the Ragnarok map.

are you 100% it was the right one? was it running with a bag in hands? presume you chopped up the corpse by hand as your on a parasaur.

I was sure, but perhaps it was a different one as you suggest. It took my stuff, I turned around and gave chase. I did jump off the Parasaur to chop it up, yes. I didn't see any other Pegomastax in the area - a small, relatively open beach area - but I guess it could have been hidden from view and another appeared from where it just ran to.

Is there any counter to these guys other than avoidance / kill on sight?

I always put spoiled meat in my 10th slot, as that’s where they seem to take from.

I had read that they take from the 10th slot first, but I assumed it was just old information as that's not what happens. I have a torch in my 10th slot and a Waterskin in my 9th but they've never been taken, unless some items can't be taken?

My arrows were in slot 2 of my main inventory, after the Implant.

There's a specific list of what they will take, so if what is in slot 10 isn't on the list it will grab something else.

I personally got tired of those things, and Ichthy's, stealing entire stacks of ammo and narcotics so I added mods that switch them to versions that have a lower volume of stealing (they still steal, just not entire stacks of stuff).

Cool, that might be a mod worth looking at if I get too irked by these Pegomastax kleptomaniacs.
