Thanks all

The reason i ask is because last ight my mate logged on for the first time to play. I had saved an M9 with 3 Mags for him. I opened my gear and dropped them, only to find they where NOT anywhere to be seen on the ground (LOST - i was so pissed offfff)

So next he opens my Bag, and takes the spare G17 and 2 mags i have in there. They don't appear in his gear. FFS, 10 mins later they do appear. BUT in those ten mins the AKM i had with 6 Mags just vanished into thin air. WTF!!!

I have been playing for hours and in a few mins i am left holding an axe. Trying to battle my way through a full server and helping my mate who has never played it before.

Lets just say i was not happy about it.

Are they known issue around this area? Giving stuff to other players etc?

Similer thing happend to me hallgraeme when I treid to give some gear to one of my friends that had never played before. I found a PDW aka UZI 9mm and 3 mags but i had already got an M9 SD so I saved the UZI for my mate.

When the time came to actually give him the UZI and mags they ended up vanishing during the trade.

All the times before when I have swapped gear between experienced friends nothing ever vanished.

Conclusion -

The gear/items menu is tricky for new players. Some will just clickity click on all sorts hoping to get the desired effect but one wrong click and poof , the item can magically dissapeer.

I think we gotta make sure to show the above Video guides from kreaol to our noob mates before doing any kind of swapping of gear lol
