see my report also, ID 0027377, which strangly, was added earlier than yours and hasn't been acknowledged yet???

people will clearly abuse this

According to whom? You think exploiting collision boxes is normal for any game?

Your only bothered you lost your gear, probably the only reason you reported something

shouldn't you be reporting that items can be placed into trees, not complaining there gone? Clearly that's an exploitation

This happens with all scoped weapons
The recoil is so dramatic, it lifts the scope so high that you can no longer see your target in view, hence you cannot see where the bullet has impacted, nor judge range for any subsequent shots.

I had something similar. If I had nothing in my hand, and jumped a fence, it would pull out an imaginary gun. could not do anything after that, only way to clear it is by jumping and character resets its stance

server lag or not, shouldn't crouch at all when only pressing jump

2 weeks and still no one looked at this?

I reported this issue weeks ago
