disappearing guns

[AnemicSum420]

I don't know if I'm the only one who has had this problem, I wasn't going to say anything originally because its early access and i understand there are things still being worked out through the whole game. But for about the 5th time now I have lost a gun that was either in my hands or in my inventory, I will have 2 weapons one in hand and another in holster and find a 3rd looting, then when I go to holster weapon in hand it disappears from hands but doesn't holster yet is in quick access unusable, then if i place 3rd and found weapon in hands, the original weapon which was in my hands and supposed to be holstered in quick access key 1 disappears along with the attachments I had.

Again not sure if I am the only one and it is do to lag or if it is something in the process of being worked on, but felt necessary given the number of times and possibility of problem happening to others as well, also thanks for all the hard work you developers and creators put into the game.

I also have this bug from time to time.
If your rifle disappears in your hand, just equip a second rifle on your back and switch them. Then the rifle in your hand will appear again on your back and the weapon on your back will be in your hands.
If you miss a weapon (or any item) in your inventory just take any item from your inventory and drop it in the place where the weapon (or the missing item) has been.

I only carry two weapons, never more, I have never had a weapon disappear after thousands of hours of gaming.

Well, I would say the same - but the last two days I've had it happen twice, because I have my gun in my hand - as I usually just carry one, and I've looted two guns off of kills I've made. So now I have three guns and a full inventory that I want to take out of the POI. I also have a pistol hotkeyed to take care of puppets, and if I use that hotkey to bring the pistol into my hand - the gun in my main hand does not fall to the ground, but instead evaporates into thin air.

However, luckily enough it can be found again, because it will actually reappear where you last logged in, floating in the air.

Faced once yesterday too, comfirmed, bug was if both guns are same. It even was being left in the quick access but tries to get it to hand were unsuccessful

This bug has been there in some form since the launch of the game and always seems to come back after fixes. Sometimes guns disappear through the ground but this one always comes down to having two guns in holster and one in hands and the auto-swap mechanism screwing something up when you switch them or try to climb ladders etc.

This is BIG P R O B L E M SCUM!
This is a big problem for survival games!
Players are looking for weapons, and at one point they lose it!
And here - what thoughts? Close the game!
A lot of complaints from players about the loss of weapons comes to my server!
Unfortunately, the weapon disappears not only on my server, on all servers!

Weapon loss cases are known:
If the player has objects on his left and right shoulder (axe or weapon, stick, bow ...), and he does the following:
- went to urinate
- went to poop
- climbed onto the tower
- pickup the bandage from the floor to rewind the wounds
took any item from the floor (from the container)
- got into transport

Most likely, the weapon will disappear!

Please fix it!

That is most likely just your character dropping the item on the ground. If both your shoulder slots are full and an item is in your hands, the moment you go to urinate. climb ladders, etc. - your character will try to put the item from your hands into your inventory to free his / hers hands for the required interaction. If your inventory is full it will be dropped onto the ground. That's not a bug, it's designed that way. Although, I can understand the irritation of losing your items because you forgot about the whole ordeal while doing some basic interactions and thus extra weapon holsters should solve this issue once they're implemented.

Will do, thanks ! I told our testers to try to reproduce the bug with all the info in these threads combines. Hopefully something will come out of it.

Yeah I just lost an SVD with scope suppressor and ghillie. Had 2 weapons on my back and picked up the SVD to take the mag out in my base. The hand slot showed empty but y character had the rifle in his hands. I could ADS and shoot but couldn't put it back in the chest as my hand slot was showing empty. Switched with one on my back and it disappeared with all the mods. Same thing happened the other day with an engraved AK. In my case it wasn't dropping it to the ground as I was in my base when it happened both times.

[J.A.M.]

Yeah this keeps happening to me as well, I just lost my 45 from just trying to add it to a quick slot.

Can confirm I experienced this bug after pvp encounter and looting another player, my fully kitted ak simply disappeared. I spent half an hour walking around, checking and readjusting my inventory, nearby items, cloting and containers, logging out and relogging, but no luck.

I just had two guns disappear on me after a " fatal error " and the game crashed

Yep, happened to me a couple days ago. My worst and most damaging events in the game are usually hard error crashes while transferring stuff around between vehicle inventory and personal inventory. And of course it always happens when i'm messing with one of my best, key weapons. Reboot, log back in, best key weapon no longer exists. !@#$%'in @#$%! This has happened to me at least a half dozen times since i started playing early last year. Never fixed.

Lol this is just because you guys are full and are dropping the guns. Would help if there was a little notification that says you are full though.

No it's not. Read the whole thread. Weapons can seem like they disappear, and only reappear when you fiddle with your inventory. I've had this happen with just a single weapon in my backpack and nothing in my hands or elsewhere. It's rare but given the number of players it's going to happen to people at some point.
