Have reported this in the past. Has happened to me and several of my friends.. There are ways to reduce the odds of it happening, I think. Try stowing your weapon on your back, and standing directly in front of the ladder.

Bug report and screenshots included.

Was unable to pick anything up, standing over the objects which were under the ground ,the game doesn't recognize them as being in the "vicinity"..

confirmed.

Had this happen before.. I was laying prone on a "downslope", over looking a town.. Attempted to snipe off zombies with an M4, and kept having the rounds impact the ground right infront of me. Attempting to switch my zeroing between 100->600, all results were the same.

Go into first person. It should work.

Same here.
