What do you wimpy players actually want next? An integrated Godmode, a weapon on spawn that has infinite ammunition or, best of all, that the game plays itself? I just don't understand why people cry over every little challenge and want the devs to simplify the game pointlessly instead of just considering that it might not be the right game for you.

Someone already cried in one thread that you have to search for weapons and ammunition to survive, now you come and cry that you lose weapons when you die.

Agreed, it's unnecessarily punishing to players to have them permanently lose their fully kitted out gun upon death. There is no way for you to retrieve or for a team mate to pick it up. It just makes the game extremely tedious. Some may say it gives a "challenge", but any sense of a challenge is removed because there is infinite respawn. Essentially one player just needs to sit in corner while the other just keep respawining with only their knifes and slowly cut their way through everything.

Is this fun? No. It makes the game boring as hell. Despawning guns upon death just makes the frustrating, especially with every death forcing the players back to using only the knife. Before update v0.13 the pistol had some use. Not the best, but was it did the job. The knife is just useless with it's weak damage. Combined with the janky hit boxes you are always taking damage just to get some swings in.

In addition to the gun vaporizing upon death, the ammo is so limited you can only use the gun for couple shots and then it's useless. It makes all the effort the dev team put into making the guns look pretty pointless, because you rarely can keep the guns or use it.

Yeah, make it so guns can't despawn on death. Or if want to force player to act more like a tactical team create loadouts so once spawned you can't change throughout the mission. Add a weight based carrying limit and it makes players having to be careful of their starting choice. Making players trying to pick items that synergies well with their teammates loadout. Adding another tactical layer and challenge in the game.

You don't lose your gun on death. Whenever you die, you drop whatever item you were holding onto the ground. If that were to be a gun, or a knife, it would drop onto the ground for you to pick up again. However, all the other items that you had that weren't equipped will be lost.

yea its a bug ive been able to pick up my weapon and same goes for my team but its a first party thing your weapon basically falls through the map for you but its still there for your team sometimes not even the team can pick it up but a bright side is only the gun your carrying falls through while the guns that naturally spawn are still around so always leave a gun just in case of death and ammo is only scarce on area 12 in the first part of the mission when ya get through the gate there is so much ammo lying around that you cant use it all
