I'm not sure if it's the Rangefinder, that make you drop your backpack when you go swimming. It happened today to me in the Lake in Turovo. I had no Rangefinder in my backpack, only a Magnum-Revolver and a Deringer, which where forced to swap out of the backpack onto the ground of the lake.

If you swim in a deeper part of pond or the ocean your backpack and weapons will fall off of you. having a rangefinder does not make this happen.

LOsing Backpacks and Weapons in the ocean/in lakes was a bug in the early times of the standalone. But as I remember, they've fixed it.
But maybe the bug returned with the new update.
I've reported the same bug here: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=19484 just today, with captured it on video, but around 20 minutes earlier i was swimming in the ocean in the northeastern part of the map, without losing my backpack/weapon.

Hi Necr0 and others, thank you all for your feedback.
This is a known issue which we are investigating - it can indeed happen even without the Rangefinder. Please be patient as the problem here is quite tricky.
Regards,
Andy
