    [BUG] Can't use binoculars, craft items, or pick up arrows

    After killing some npc (i think his name was Feeney or something similar) I was exploring a bunker when my friend got attacked by a bear, he told me to come loot the bear. When I did it triggered one of the Faith Seed cutscenes, my coop partner gets disconnected during the loading screen which also crashed me to the menu. When i reconnected I saw another cutscene of my character waking up in the Hope County Jail. When I regained control I had lost all of my equipment. All of my guns, throwables, and the utility crafting options are gone. I can't even use my binoculars. The only things that were kept were my character's clothes and my money. Now I can't even craft any items or spot enemies, my character is more useless than the npc's.

    Buddy of mine had a similar problem. I had assumed it was in relation to John Seed's second mission (since you lose everything anyways) when he joined me and complained about no weapons. The problem was, he also couldn't pick any up (though he could still use throwables).

    We tried a myriad of ways to fix it(death with revive, no revive, relaunching the game, etc), but nothing fixed it. We even went back to his game, and tried that mission, but it wouldn't even let him pick up the bat, or the 1911 near the beginning (he also said he couldn't use throwables at that point too, but I suspect that they were removed as normal).

    Eventually in frustration, he restarted with a new game, and everything's working now, but...thats a lotta progress he lost.

    Same problem

    I have killed John seed and I have been playing this game since it came out everyday and now I have this it is stupid some of the UI is gone too. I'm missing keys and collectables. Last real story mission I played had Joseph seed talking and there was fire behind him and you were at that tree. Then it went to a load screen and crashed. I restarted it and woke up at the jail. I haven't played co-op with someone since Wednesday.

    Same issue here, crashed at the end of a Faith Seed segment, now I can't craft or use the binoculars. I was playing solo.
    Restarting the game isn't really an option for me, I've played for more than 15 hours already...

    UPDATE
    I found a possible fix for this glitch, although this may not work for everyone it appears to have worked for me.
    I had my friend invite me to his session to see if it would fix the glitch> When I loaded into his session I had all my ammo refilled for my guns, my binoculars worked again, and all of my crafting options are back. To make sure it was not a fluke or if it only fixed it on his world, I quit to menu to load my own save file. When I loaded my save I could still do everything that I could in his world.
    Like I have stated, this most likely will not work for everyone, but until Ubisoft decides to patch this it appears to be the only workaround I could see

    I have another possible fix. If you endure losing your stuff until the next mission of the same type (getting kidnapped by Faith, Jacob, etc) you'll get your binoculars and crafting ability back.

    Same here. No binoculars, no crafting, no wingsuite anymore.
    Also played about 15 hours now.
