I was farming Lt Hoffman for the Hot Mama and on a whim decided to pick up one the the Droogs he drops normally. However after reloading the game, THE GUN WAS MISSING FROM MY INVENTORY!!!
It just wasn’t there. I went back and picked it up again. Saved AGAIN. Reloaded AGAIN. And it was missing AGAIN!! I did this multiple times, probably about 10. I even picked up the grenade and shield he drops. No, only the sniper will disappear from inventory. The other stuff was there when I would reload the game.
Fortunately, this bug only seems to affect the snipers he normally drops, as when he finally dropped me a Hot Mama it stayed in my inventory after exiting the game (thank God too because this took me about an hour to get one to drop). Just want to bring this to everyone’s attention: If you pick up the sniper Lt Hoffman drops in Mt Scarab (almost always a Droog), IT WILL DISAPPEAR WHEN YOU EXIT THE GAME.
