Have a similar thing here, but I dunno whether itās a bug. Leaving āQuestionable Ethicsā (where you open the gate to the dam) always makes my shotgun and the Tau disappear. After killing the first soldiers and picking up a shotgun, itās all there again: bucket image and even the ammo is it should be. Only prob is that you cannot obtain the tau again as easily as a shotgun.
I also suspect this to happen to frag grenades coz the slot (5 or 6) is highlighted, but i cannot go there by keyboard or mousewheel. Wasnāt sure the first three times but this time i grabbed the 3 grenades (q.ethics end battle) and did not use them. Passing through the gate to the dam they were gone.
Didnāt want to file a bug before asking here as Iām not sure whether it was meant as a feature. Thx in advance if someone could drop me a note here whether this is meant to be or not.
