loot stuck on roof

[Stone_]

thanks to these annoying super jump robots I have seemingly no way of retrieving their loot from the roof of this train wreck, thanks game

I had loot stuck in a building 2nd floor that I had blown the area up with a grenade. So the floor was no longer visible but the loot stayed in place. Went down to ground level and could still loot. Not saying this will work for you but maybe it's accessible from the ground too?

If you can split the squad and send one person near another ejemy you can start an ambush and then switch to either Dux to moth wings on top or Selma to jump up and then cancel the ambush with F. This will allow you to scale areas with enemies and end whenever you ended the ambush at.

every enemy is already dead, I have no way of using abilities or equipment, I can't see why they won't let us use these out of combat, it just adds frustration

agreed

before the dlc came out you could loot stuff above you while on the ground which got around this issue but something in the dlc changed it so you can no longer do this. no idea why they would patch it out of the game.

I don't have the DLC and still can't grab stuff that's one level above me. I tried to go directly under the item, slightly sideways, nothing worked, no pickup prompt. Stupid jumping bots. My completionist OCD will be kicking my ass for leaving the level with two items. I'm tempted to reload the whole level, but there was a pretty tough fight against ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of polis bots. There was actually a very simple way of picking them off one by one, but i screwed up. Wasn't paying attention to the weapon selected, shot one of them with a loud weapon by mistake, and he aggroed all of the others to my position. I somehow managed to cleared them out, luckily i had a good defensive position and just spammed overwatch, but there are now two weapons lying on the train roof and no way to get there. And no enemies to switch to turn-based mode. This is a HUGE design flaw. There should be the option to use abilities even outside of the combat, or at least trigger the turn-based mode on demand.

Same problem here ...

I managed to get one of the items by leaving the area and coming back. The roof that got partially destroyed during the fighting respawned and i was able to get there. But the other place just doesn't have any access point, so it stayed there. So, for the cases, where the second floor is originally accessible and you destroy it, you can just leave the area and then come back. It should reload the level and the roof/walls should be intact again.

I'm glad I read this! I just had the exact same thing happen, which was frustrating because the bot had exploded like a pinata. I left, came back, and the ladder and floor had respawned. Piece of cake. Thank you!

Sorry to necro, but, I ran into the same issue and it seems no one has found a 100% answer to this issue. I just started playing the game again and this is the only thread that tries to find a solution...but no solution. Has anyone found a way to recover this loot, even if there's no access to the elevated area? I'm staring at 3 weapon part pickups right now on top of a train car in metal fields and it's going to make my OCD unbearable. I do not own the DLC, and standing under the item (inside the train car) doesn't give me a prompt. Have the devs said anything regarding this? Thanks in advance.

That tip worked! I found out it was just a scrap... not worth it. haha
