Weapon Disappeared and Loadout is disabled

[Nefster]

OK so I have an answer for you guys that are stuck and can't switch weapons. Apparently if you find a weapon on the floor, hold down the action button (for xbox its X) and switch the current weapon with the looted weapon. That will fix the glitch where you can't switch weapons. If you lost an item from the glitch, go to support live chat and if you have the name of the weapon they will look into the logs to confirm that you in fact did have that weapon and give it back (don't think you can have them give u anything you want, life does not work that way sorry). I did all of this and now my character is good as new.

I managed to fix this issue by picking up one of those temporary "special weapons" that you find laying around in the game. I did not get my lost weapon back however.

HA.. you beat me to it.. but get on live support and see about getting your item back

Awesome. I will try that once the servers are back up...if ever. I don't even care about the lost weapon, I just would like to alter my loadout. I can equip other weapons from my inventory, but I can't equip my secondary or any new perks, etc. I submitted a ticket the day this happened, and I haven't heard any reply, which I understand due to all the other issues.


EDIT: Thanks so much! It worked!

happened to me just now. looking for a weapon to pick up.

edit; still looking

There is something you guys should look out for. After I had fixed being able to edit my loadout, I noticed that there was a phantom item taking up an inventory space. I would assume it's the item that was lost. I counted only 22 items in my inventory yet the number at the bottom said I had 23. After talking to support through the live chat feature, we were unable to resolve the problem and they had to transfer me to a higher level of support. They are suppose to contact me via email in a day or two. I know it's just one inventory slot, but I still hope I can get it back.

This might be a stupid question but, what slot was the missing weapon in? For me it was the main slot of my second loadout. I'm just curious if it was the same slot for the rest of you.

[Nokozon]

go to your inventory tab, and change out your weapons, the firestorm existed in your inventory, but the loadout is not loading it, by manually equiping a weapon frmo a alternate screen it will force the loadout to update, effectively refreshing it and unlocking it.

i've notice this bug happened when weapons are in the middle of mod slots being added or otherwise engaged in the salvage matrix and the servers have a hiccup.

force equiping a weapon from inventory or ground via hold x has fixxed it for me in the past.

[Bane Farseeker]

I got this bug attempted to go into a shadow war. Can anyone tell me where one of these special weapons might be that I can equip? I don't want to run around like this waiting for something to drop. Equiping from inventory didn't help)

[Bane Farseeker]

I figured out a work around. When I hit equip from an inventory item, I couldn't select the broken (blank) slot, but if I hit d-pad right for compare mode then selected, everything fixed itself.

Worked Perfectly... had to pick up two of those weapons but it unlocked my loadouts. THANK YOU!!!!
