Problem with chests in the mutator arena

Whenever you finish a round in the mutator arena you are supposed to collect your rewards from chests that spawn in the mutator room. But if you pick up one piece of loot on the ground before you go up and unlock the chests the collect loot objective dissapears and the chests remain locked. Anyone else having this problem? Im on 360 btw. Also even if you pick up ammo or money the chests lock up not just guns.

[/quote]I had a problem like that, tried 2 round to see chest locked each time, i didn’t even tried a 3rd one because of the deception.

I play on pc.

Thing is, the last mob died because of dot while i was picking up ammo and reloading the second time and i didn’t even had a chance to see the the “collect loot” box as a quest objective.

Never had that issue. What I have experienced, though, is this: if I take the arena quest but quit before winning and turning the quest back in (thus failing it), when I start the game back up and retake the quest, absolutely no combinations of mutators and difficulty will give me any reward (i.e., no chest spawns above the option pedestals) until after I win the arena mission and turn it back in (but, again, without the possibility of chest rewards; so basically, to reset my ability to receive rewards, I’m forced to play and win the arena game at least once for nothing but what little cash and experience the mission gives).

I have the same thing, I just finish the arena once on the lowest difficulty and easiest mutators and then get chest options as usual.

Also, has anyone noticed a sudden total lack of Shadow Trap? Dude spawned consecutively my first few tries of the arena, but then completely stopped. I’ve played maybe twenty or thirty times since and haven’t seen him once. Makes me wonder if his appearance was actually a glitch, and they sneak-hotfixed him out.

I’m pretty sure, Shadowtraps normal form is an one-time-only-fight. Similar to Zarp. Even if its not meant to be that way, the other two forms are far superior to that cowardly hidin’ piece of junk.

Maybe, but I had him spawn at least three or four times during arena battles long after killing him in the story. A number of people here mentioned fighting him under the same circumstances. But (for me at least) he’s been 100% absent from the arena for the last two or three days.

I had the chest problems when playing the lvl 1 arena, but not on higher levels.

The enemy pool of all the waves is randomized, but shadowtrap is added to said pool for the last wave (with a high chance, about 40% from my experience).

Incidently, if you fight shadowtrap during the last wave, the mission ends as soon as you kill him, regardless if there are any more enemies in the area.

This has been proven not to be true, please don’t spread misinformation.

I didn’t want to spread any misinformation , i just never had shadowtrap respawn. Not during the arena rounds, not otherwise. I did the arena at least a dozen of times, never having Shadowtrap respawn, so i took the one-time-only-thing for granted.

it could be that you just didnt add the right modificitions,you always need different modifiers for the best(glitch) chests, and also in sometimes there are modifiers which dont give chests
On the other side i have a problem that,after you load in the game, you cant get chests,only at the second run and after they start to spawn so just do the arena at diffuculty 3 first time(so shadow-tp can spawn) and than on the next round switch through the modifiers till you find the chests you want
