Primary weapon disappearing in game.

[Archimaede]

My primary would suddenly vanish while playing the game, randomly and repeatedly.
Just like that, suddenly it's gone, and all i'm left with are my secondary and grenades.
Needless to say, this is just peachy on helldive difficulty.

Yeah, its a known bug and an AGGRAVATING one.

It seems to happen most often when people join matches mid-game or rejoin after a crash.

I was host every time it happened. I can't vouch to it (not) happening while not being host.

Doesn't seem to matter if I am host or not, sometimes it just vanishes and that is incredibly annoying.

I also had this issue yesterday. I had to survive with a pistol when the team's getting swarmed. True hardcore.

I had it happen to my support weapon earlier, just randomly disappeared.

Nobody joined during that time frame and the only thing I can think of was me reloading the weapon and swapping to another weapon at the very last second the reload finished, not fully finishing the reload.

I can. I rarely host and have had my weapon disappear after a large explosion or something similar. I figured it was a neat little add to taking damage when getting rag dolled, nope. Even after death I had no primary.

Likewise, happened to a friend last night, dropped in and had no primary.

I am having the bug a lot. I host most of the time. When randoms join my weapon suddenly is missing. If I respawn in that mission, i still spawn without a primary.

There is a button to drop things. Maybe you've fat fingered it unknowingly. It can happen.

I had it happen a few times, both host and not.

It happened each time during a stratagem call. I call stratagem, then the weapon I had in hand vanish from existance. (not on the ground).

If you can find a weapon to replace it on the field, it works normally again. It's really your weapon disapearing, not blocked or anything, just vanishing in the air.

I did get a strange effect with aiming while getting thrown into the air quite a lot revently (which probably have more to do with the amount of explosions now that I play in a higher difficulty level). I have to hit right mouse button a dozain time to manage to reset it back to normal view when it happen. It is like the game think that normal mode is when I hold my ADS up when this happen.

Very annoying indeed. Even if you pick up someone elses primary it will disappear shortly after. Its something to do with others joining or leaving or disconnecting. Its especially annoying as you cant even choose to play solo to avoid this. Nothing to stop friends jumping into your game. No private session option.

Have had it happen. Seems to be it happens when Im host. Also noticed some weirdness when reloading some weapons.
