Hello there!
1.) I discovered the following bug:
When opening the loot menu on a dropped item with D-Pad up or looting a container and then pressing L2 once to loot one item as junk, the game loots it normally and doesn't mark it as junk in the inventory, making it mandatory to do it separately. It also seems like the press immediately counts as holding it for just a fraction of a second (because of the travel time when pressing it?).
2.) Launch version 1.02 today.
3.) Recreation steps:
1. Find dropped loot on the ground or in a container.
2. Use D-Pad up to 'Examine' or 'Loot' on the container.
3. Highlight the item and shortly press 'L2'.
4. On the bottom left it will say "Picked up [item]", not "Picked up [item] as junk".
5. Checking the inventory reveals that it has indeed not been marked as junk, making manual marking necessary.
4.) Troubleshooting the way that is mentioned in this forum doesn't apply to this issue.
5.) Here is the video I recorded: https://youtu.be/SCmWsN-1N1Y
6.) Haven't done so.
Thank you.
