Body and loot vanishing after death?

[Motoko2501 0]

Hi. first of all, i'm sorry if my english is not perfect, i'm french so...you know...)

 

My friend and i are really new to the game, and so far we really enjoy it.

 

yesterday we found some good gear and survived quite a long time compare to the last attempt, so we were running in the forest, and i kinda felt from a rock and died. shit happens.

 

but then my friend tried to find my gear, and it just disappeared in front of him.

 

is it normal or did i respawn too quick?

i was thinking the gear stay on the ground until the server restard or somebody pick it up.

 

thanks for your help.

Hmm... It sounds like a bug.

 

Your gear should stay on the ground for 10 minutes after death.

Gear stays 10 minutes.

 

Sounds like a bug.

I've seen this a few times. seen a killing and body disapears after a few seconds

hum ok . 

 

so after 10 minutes anyway, the gear is lost. good to know.

 

thx for your answers :)

Defiantly a bug, unless you didn't get there within 10 minutes and someone already looted it.

This happened to me with essentially all the zombies I killed over a few runs. Of course, I just assumed it was normal at the time. *shrug*
