Ok here's the update on this issue. So after waiting a while it turns out that you can recover glitched items. This may have been fixed since change from AS to AP Server? Either way the issue appears fixed. I'll leave it there so others can take not that you now don't have to wait for a server reset to recover glitched items in tents, barrels etc...

Am very disappointed, well if I could say what I'm really feeling this post wouldn't make it past censorship. Come on bohemia, fair play. We pay good money to play on ps4, spent all day grinding to move my groups base from 6078 to 0045. Got in just now and while staring off in menu everything looked normal, as soon as I started playing, I get another character all noobed and miles away from base!! What are you going to do to fix this issue, do your servers have a back up so we can get our load out and character back?! Fix this bohemia or I'll be lodging a complaint and refund from sony. Please, just please give a s#@t this time and fix this issue!
