Hi, I dont think it was favourite but it didnt get accidently destroyed because there are no exotic particles. I could have accidently selected it for deconstruction then sold it to the vendor. This could make sense because you need to do INSANE inventory management in this game.
However the given exotic cannot be selected for deconstruction thus cannot be sold either accidentily still its gone. So my overall feeling is this was no accident.
I'm actually have the exact same problem. Both Nemesis and Chatterbox disappeared from my stash. I don't believe they were favorited but as they had been sitting in my stash and I wasn't running them on my build for months I know they weren't deconstructed or sold. After I noticed they were missing I was running a random mission and a hyena crate dropped one of the components and that's when I figured something was really off.
Two issues concerning exotics…
- Somehow, I picked up an exotic shotgun at level 30 (gear score 500) even though the shotgun was listed at level 40. When I actually reached level 40, the shotgun disappeared from inventory and I somehow gained a “specialty handgun weapon” with the “Sharpshooter” logo instead. BTW I had the Sharpshooter specialty since level 20 where I got my sniper rifle.
- While doing a mission somewhere I found an exotic material item, but during that mission the game hard crashed requiring a PC reboot. When got back in the game, the exotic was gone.
What’s the deal here?
