Armor just disappeared??

[Oahkery]

I beat the first planet and moved on to the Groundbreaker. I found a helmet early there, so I opened my inventory to look at at it and see the stats. Then I noticed my armor slot was empty! The armor I was using is nowhere in my inventory, it's not on any of my companions, and it's not in my storage locker on the ship. It's just gone! Has anyone had this happen? It's incredibly frustrating, as I had used three mods on it and tinkered it a bit as well, all set up to my playstyle, and now I have nothing even close to the same. I tried reloading an older save but their all from the very last bit of the first planet or on my ship in between, and the armor is gone in those too.

If it's just the helmet(s), could it be the setting for making the helmet invisible ?

[Oahkery]

Nope, it was the armor itself. The helmet is still there. And the armor is completely gone, as in, the slot is empty, not just what's displayed.

And now one of my guns has disappeared! I had an auto-mag pistol that I had tweaked to do electricity damage for mechs, and I swapped it out for my normal magnum pistol I used for sneak attacks, and now the aut-mag pistol is just gone, with an empty space in my inventory where it was. This is ridiculous! I had tinkered that several times, and filled it with mods.

by any chance are you accidentally scrapping them?

No, because, one, it requires confirmation, and I'm definitely not doing that, and two, when you scrap something, the other items move over and fill that spot. For the gun, I just had an empty slot in the middle of all my other weapons. I did manage to find my oldest save that still had the gun, so I loaded that to get it back, but I still lost a couple of hours of progress.

Same here =(

Are you repairing them regularly?

I'm not sure what happens if they get to 0%, as I always repair or replace stuff once it gets to around 50%... If it gets to 0% it could be classed as destroyed maybe?

No, I'm not an idiot. I'm not scrapping or not repairing my stuff. For one, the damage or armor falls off so much as the durability drops that I keep it repaired. For another, I keep saying that I had these gaps in the inventory screen with my weapons/armor. As in, just a spot in the middle of all of my other items that was open. Whenever you sell or scrap something, the gap where the item used to be is closed by all your other items shifting over. It's definitely a bug, because otherwise those gaps wouldn't be left there.

This is a bug. A really really unfortunate one, as there is no way (at least that I’m aware of) to ever get that gear back. To some it happens when boarding your ship, others after resting…… I work in QA in the industry and would have to actively ATTEMPT to replicate the issue to say for sure, but, yeah, I lost some unique-ass impossible to get again gear from this and have zero idea when it happened, so…… f me? I guess?
