I've lost Forge named gloves 3 times now, once in the DZ which were Godrolled and twice from the merchant in the Campus settlement that were bought today. It's happened before today's update and after. Even if I click equip and mod they disappear.
The Forge is a named R&K holster, not a set of gloves. Are you thinking of a different piece of gear?
No I got them mixed up like an idiot I have them I'll be deleting this post. Thank you
