On todays 0.58 update the game randomly forces your character to put weapon away, this will force you to loose said weapon if no space or double carrying ie; weapon in bag and on back.
also I just lost a AK101 because I put weapon on back then climbed a deerstand, when I got back down from the deer stand the game dropped my ak101 and put my UMP45 on my back when it was originally in my bag. IMO this is a game breaking bug.
need a weapon plus another weapon in your bag.
It also causes a carried barrel to vanish or an equipped compass to be moved to a different inventory slot.
The hands seem to raise as if [space] had been pressed.

but this ticket was first ;)
Hey guys, I have noticed that this may be an issue caused by "network bubble" interactions?
I play on 1st person exp and double carried 2 weapons from cherno to the NWAF on a mostly empty server without ever dropping either weapon. At the NWAF the bug suddenly occurs and I think that is suspicious so I hide.
Low and behold a player shows up soon after (soon enough that he could be running from the peremiter of the bubble into where I was. Because I was at the tent city it is reasonable to guess that he ran there in the amount of time from the bug occuring to seeing him there.
So I kill him and he is a clan memeber of a clan that had 2 guys on earlier. After looting him and looting around I suddenly get the bug again, on checking the server list his clanmate has now logged on, I suspected he told his friend who was nearby to log and try and get me. I was spooked so I ran but I feel like thats what was happening.
The only other time I have experienced the bug was in elektro near other players.
Hello PaulieZ.
The issue has been fixed internally and should be fixed on Steam soon.
