    Unable to pickup sniper rifle

    Just started playing recently and I have had 2 occasions already where I cannot pick up a dropped sniper rifle. I have picked up pistols, shotguns and assault rifles dropped by enemies, but the game won’t let me pick up the sniper rifles.
    The rifle is there, flashing, but the game won’t give me a prompt to pick it up. I have tried different angles, crouching etc, but no luck.
    Is this a bug?

    Are you sure you don't already have the sniper in your weapon wheel?

    If you don't have it, then maybe the enemy's body is over the sniper rifle. Try moving the body away and see if it works.

    Thanks for the tips cskiller86!

    And welcome to the forum scottyg007, if you're still having issues please provide a video clip so we can investigate.
    Thanks!

    Thanks to both of you.
    Trying again, looks like PEBCAK.
    The rifle was lying halfway through a structure, so it looked different to the one I had (couldn’t see any scope on top). Was probably the same type, so I couldn’t pick up a gun I already had.

    Glad you found out what the issue is! I've done the exact same thing with a pistol.. keep us updated if you come across any other issues!
