New game and Co-op problems with partner not being able to pick up mission weapons

So my friend and I just started this game co-op together we picked up the guns and the first med kits together just fine they showed up in our inventory. when we get to the church to get the shotgun when I pick it up it disappears and my partner cannot pick it up they even reloaded their game and the shotgun is still not there same goes for the rifle and scope that you pick up. whenever I pick up a weapon my partner cannot get it and it does not show up in their game

And not being able to start a new game on a new world is kind of weird I mean what do you do when you finish the game how are you ever going to be able to play the game again without uninstalling it I think this is the first game I’ve ever came across where you cannot start a new game I for one like having the game that I play with my friends and the game that I played by myself this issue needs to be addressed please

I’m a total noob at this game and the same thing happened to my friend and I when we both played together for the first time, a few days ago.

It seems to be happening on purpose.

I think the weapons will respawn later. I managed to get both the rifle and the shotgun later when I played alone.

You and I should probably wait until someone else with more experience explains that mechanic with real facts. :sweat_smile:

I think there’s is also a difference between weapons in containers and weapons just lying around.

No I hear you that’s why I posted cuz I’m a newbie too I appreciate your response because now I know that the weapons come back so that’s cool thank you for the information I appreciate you they need to make it so when one clicks on a weapon everybody can click on the weapon

I decided to read you first comment because I wasn’t sure whether I had understood it correctly. I feel obligated to warn you about the lack of punctuation and the confusion between the words “in” and “and”. I seems you used “in” instead of “and” at least twice, and the lack of punctuation made reading your comment a bit more difficult than it should have been.

Hopefully I don’t sound pedantic or something. :sweat_smile:

OK. :slight_smile: No problem. :slight_smile: Glad I could help somehow!

I’m not sure yet how I feel about the way this mechanic works, but I’m mostly favourable to it so far…

Preplaced weapons such as that shotgun do not respawn, the only things that respawn are stuff inside crates, ammo boxes and civilian loot after you have spent 4 hours playing. I have a quick question tho, did they ever pick up the shotgun in your save or another persons save? If so then theres the reason it isnt in their save

Well at first my friend had picked it up and it disappeared for me and they dropped it on the ground because they didn’t like shotguns and figured they could just go get it in their game but it was never there

Will you see that’s kind of my problem you know if you’re in the world together your partner should be able to pick up the exact same thing as well otherwise what’s really the point in playing because if your partner picks it up in your game well it’s picked up in their game too and they get nothing in their game cuz it saves for their game so then it being screwed and they don’t get any weapons because they played my game and it saved on Theres

I really think this is one of those things that should be explained somehow in and by the game. I don’t feel like relying on a random Good Samaritan met online to explain how this mechanic works is good design. :sweat_smile:

(It still played at least an hour earlier today and I plan to play again today.)

There’s more than one shotgun. IIRC, I found three and I am no further than the farm.

Well we started from the beginning together and we got to the church mission they had got to the gun first

I hope devs will clarify this (and fix “problems” if needed) because my friend and I are planning to do like @Korbyn and their friend.

Yeah things definitely need to change this is the only game where you can’t start a brand new game on a brand new world it’s like what happens when you beat the game just might as well delete the game and never played again at that point cuz you’ve already finished the game and you can’t make a new game a lot of things need to change in this game being able to share being able to pick up weapons for all party members… not being able to start a new game really pisses me off though first game in history where you cannot start a new game lol

All I’m saying is it would be nice to start a new game to where I could have the game I play with my friend and the game I play with myself that’s all I’m trying to say how do you get on different map?

And thank you very much for your feedback I appreciate you it means a lot I don’t know anything about this game
