Weapon Respawning
Ok...this has happened way too often to be caused by a coincidence. A lot of wrecks that I try to loot that have the CODENAME weapons don't drop the loot. I shoot them, and instead of dropping the guns so they become lootable, the guns blow off the wreck(you can see them coming off) but they are not lootable and disappear. This has happened with many wrecks for me but especially with the Diamondbacks.
There are some wrecks that seem to respawn all the time like Wildfires, Silverfires, and Iron Hammers. Those people can get. But a lot of the other wrecks blow up for me and other people.
I have hit wrecks with a variety of weapons and still the same result. I have tried mines, missles, just Tizona del Cids and yet they still blow up. Some things that have worked are NPCs shooting them. This has happened twice where they hit the wreck and the guns become lootable. Also in Sigma 13 when I touch a gas cloud close to the wreck so it explodes and makes the wreck drop the guns and they are lootable. But for guns such as Wildfires, I fire at it with all my weapons and they become lootable so I do not understand what is going on.
Someone also said that not all weapons respawn after a server crash, for example. Even after a server crash you can still get WIldfires, Silverfires, and Iron Hammers. But for me, all the others blew up. However, there was a server reboot which was announced and I was the first by the Diamondbacks. They, along with many others I checked, still blew up.
I have no explanation as to what is going on and I hope an Admin sees this and looks into it. I have not heard of anyone getting Diamondbacks in a while and I can't even get the other wrecks. Hope this is just a bug and will be fixed soon.
