Disappearing Weps & Coyote...

[[email protected] 0]

Does anyone here know anything about the 'disappearing' secondary weps when you carry a Coyote around?

My day went something like this:

Log on, notice I've lost my prized Silenced M4 from my previous session (I died shortly afterwards at NW Airfield so no biggie)

Manage to find an M24 sniper pretty quickly after running all the way back to NW Airfield... which is then lost only a few hours later (logged out in town I was in for food/drink w/ my AKM out as primary... M24 gone from backpack when I relog).

No worries... head over to my camp and pick up my M107 Sniper... head south to Elektro with AKM as secondary.

Run 40 minutes and finally reach Elektro - yes! finally! - so that today I can finally start to have FUN, that elusive game concept.

Take out M107 on hill and kill for a while... hear gunshots near to me on the hill: time to get out the AKM... oh, wait!

AKM has disappeared from my Coyote. I am now left with just the sniper and my trusty M1911. Not-so-fun.

After that I logged out for a while to calm down after all my misfortune, make a coffee and think about which deer stand to visit first...

Oh and to make things worse, when I logged back in shortly after, I took 5 steps on the hill I was on and BAM! my 4-day character flies off the hill at 100mph and insta-dies, along with everyone else on the server. 'You are dead!'. Just your weekly brush with hacking, great.

So what's the deal with the weapons disappearing? Before anyone asks I am fully capable of swapping out 2 weps and managing my backpack space, I have over 200+ hours logged with multiple guns and it is only recently that I've started noticing valuable weapons go walkabout in between gaming sessions.

So your idea of fun is spoiling somebody elses fun by sniping them from a distance like a coward?

Sounds like you got what you deserved.

and youridea is of fun is what? skipping about arm in arm with your new best bud checking if the supermarkets got more then tin cans becasue hey when the world goes to shit someone ppl still think it hasnt right, and what kind of girl would you be if shoopping wasnt your hobby? and pvp is for noobs whats the point in fighting each other for gear when we can just spend our days hiking and admiring how beautiful the country side is, maybe even chase a fuffy bunny awound ..aww day so cute

shooting nubs in a churno is lame, but on the plus side now i know where to go fidn me a 107

happening with alice packs too, some times they are just gone, other times (if packs full) it duplicates a random item taking storage over the limit and overwriting your weapon, lost a bizon, cobra, M4 so far :-/

then mayhaps learn to actually snipe not just park in a bush taking potshots, relocating, being aware of avenues people are likley to flank you, covering them regularily

ive just run with my DNR and pistol for 3 days, got bored of hunting replacments, its not a problem

well less shameful then the some guy caved my skull in with an axe which was the way you were gonna die playing like that lol

Excellent responses. Neither have anything to do with the bug.

How about you discuss the broken game mechanic rather than trying to prove how your 'way' of playing is the superior one?

I have plenty of experience with competitive FPS. If I choose to go to Elektro and kill city-dwellers, so what? I don't want my bags to bug out.

known bug, its happening with all packs big enough to hold a secondry weapon, no known fix at the moment so no advie on how to stop it can be given, also several threads about it already

I think you're just experiencing bad server-side connection, where it's not receiving your data.

I had the same thing earlier, I stole an AS50 and changed server and put it in my camp, changed back and had it again so I went back and put it in the tent again. When I changed servers I had it again.

I also had an SVD camo, with an inventory full of ammo. Change server, SVD camo, no ammo.

no its an actual backpack eating bug thats come sometime since 1.7 the bizon i lost id had for ages and all was fine until patching upto 1.7.2.3 (i missed the 1.7.2.1/2 as i was taking a break)

It does seem to be related to the backpack juggle.

Can confirm this, again... lost my lovely Enfield tonight after logging with it stashed in a Coyote backpack.

It seems any Coyote backpacks that are looted from other players are incapable of storing/remembering new items on the new player (after a relog, that is).

No matter what, whichever weapon is placed in the Coyote pack before logging will have disappeared after. All ammo and other backpack loot will remain.

Don't judge somebody's ideas.

I also don't approve of hill campers but there's no need to get all mad over it.

I had about 15 murders with my Enfield, it was the first gun I picked up on that spawn...

4 hours later and I'm running it with an M4A1 SD in a Coyote backpack, picked from a kill of mine at Stary.

The Enfield, as old as my character, simply disappeared when stored in the backpack during a log-out (better than losing the SD I guess).

Sucks, dual-weapon set-ups are practically impossible at the moment.
