Missing Items in game
Hey all, I am new to this and do not really know where to go, but I am missing in game content, despite owning DLC's. For example, the Bomb Lance for The Reptilian is missing, but I have the DLC for him. I would like to know how to fix this, because I liked using the weapons that I paid money for

It could just be a simple misunderstanding. When you buy a dlc, it unlocks the items form the dlc. Whenever you unlock items in game, whether they are dlc, or blood bond items, you get one instance of it immediately. Then you can rebuy the items for hunt dollars (the free currency) as long as you have the base version of the item unlocked.

The Bomblance requires you to have reached rank 78 in your bloodline.

So when you bought the dlc, you would have gotten one instance of that bomblance skin automatically because it was unlocked. But the base version isn't unlocked, so you can't buy another yet.

Of course if you are high enough level and can get a regular bomblance, then you just need to change the skin on the bomb lance. All skins and base versions of each item are now in one slot and you have to switch the skins to get the appearance you want when getting equipment.

Now this is the funny thing, I played Hunt (granted, a few months have passed since I last played), and I was able to buy the Bomb Lance infinitely, without having unlocked it prior. Am I really locked out of a weapon that I was able to purchase many times in the past?

The UI changed. When buying a weapon, click on the arrows to change the skin

That is the problem. I do not own the weapon anymore. I used to buy it and others countless times from the Arsenal, but cannot anymore.

Look at your weapons unlocks book and check if it was actually unlocked or if you just had alot of it stocked up? if they are unlocked and you cant buy then something is wrong.

They did change when the bomb lance unlocks a few months ago. If you prestiged since then, then you might have to unlock it again.

Then you have prestiged. You were never able to buy the bomblance anywhere near as low as Level 34

Whatever legendary skin you own is still there, but you cannot buy skins for weapons you don't have unlocked. Got to notice your level > Main menu > Progress > find the weapon you want, in this case the bomblance.

It is unlocked at rank 76, and since the bomblance has no variants yet it will give you access to all legendary skins for it you own aswell

Understandable, but here is my question. Why was I able to buy it many times in the past, when I was an even lower level?

We have no explanation because no one would have been able to buy it when they were too low of a level to buy it. It doesn't unlock for anyone at that low of a level. The only explanation is if you had leveled high enough to use it before. But since then you have prestiged (at bloodline 100 you have the option of starting your unlocks all over), after the prestige you level up from 1 again and haven't leveled high enough to use the bomb lance again.

If you have bought the bomb lance before you had to have leveled high enough and to not be high enough level now, you must have prestiged.

I have never reached level 50, even, in the bloodline. I was able to use the bomb lance, and am currently able to use other weapons (infinitely) without having them unlocked. I have full access to certain weapons, and no access to others.

And like I said a few times, I have not prestiged, I have around 20 hours in Hunt and am nowhere near getting to 100 in the bloodline. I don't know if its a bug or not, but its just weird af.
