Restarting only allows you to get your weapons back at a shop, but it does NOT put them back into your inventory. Hence, you still start without them at the last checkpoint.
I'm stuck in the boss fight with Faith and have no access to a shop. I can restart a thousand times and I'm still screwed every time.
Please tell me the eventual fix will also take this situation into account. Making the weapons not disappear anymore will NOT solve my issue.
Been well over a week since this issue has been reported. No fix available or date for when it will be. Then some dope posts to reatart the game? It doesnt fix the core issue. FarCry 5 is by far, the worst Ubisoft product i have ever experienced. On the bright side, your product QA and support can only get better from here. I hope.
