So after waiting, and waiting, for Capitol Hill to be "invaded" so I can get whatever exotic part the final boss dops, I played the mission flawlessly -- zero deaths/retries -- and saw with my own eyes the orange light beam after I took Prime out with a sniper head shot. There were still a significant amount of enemies to clear, and as I did that the loot drop from Prime disappeared.
Yes, I have video evidence. It will take a while to upload to YouTube.
Best I can guess, because I was sprinting from a heavy gunner over that spot, the game decided I wanted to "destruct all". Because on the controller they chose the same controls for "sprint" as destruct. But usually when you destruct you see an indicator that destructing is happening. I just re-watched the video and there was no visual indicator that destruction was underway, but as I ran past (near not directly over) there was the audio indicator which is the same as "you picked this up". But no it is not in my inventory
I will replay the mission, and if it doesn't drop again I am calling it over. Only so much time to game, and gaming around issues is unacceptable.
Yes, I just confirmed that if you sprint past loot, it does immediately deconstruct it. I'd call this a bug.
Thanks, I will take a look. But The other pieces are in my inventory under "resources". I thought there was still another step after getting the drop from Prime.Originally Posted by teksuo1 Go to original post
edited my post while you were replying, my bad i thought it was the blueprint but it should be the barrel part (which i thought was impossible to deconstruct). weird.Originally Posted by tcarlisle2012 Go to original post
somehow got sucked into the void the first time around i guessOriginally Posted by tcarlisle2012 Go to original postwell good thing you got it now! grats.
now we just have to wait for grand washington hotel to get invaded![]()
I was worried that since the item dropped and vanished, it wouldn't drop again and I'd be stuck.
This isn't the first serious glitch I've encountered in this mission.
I have since tested some more and now I cannot get it to deconstruct sprint a loot pile by sprinting near or over it. I guess it is hit or miss.
