Re: Death Box Looting

Sometimes a players drops a death-box without having items on them.

These you can't open or loot.

Hey, @dude_dongTgidong 

 

Can you be a little more descriptive on what you're actually experiencing with the loot boxes? When a player dies their loot box will appear and you should be able to grab the contents from it. If their whole squad gets eliminated and you grab the last item from their loot box, it should disappear.

 

Edit: Accidentally tagged you @Zeelmaekers  and made the correction.

Do you have the game installed on an external hard drive?

Strange. Do you have anything plugged into the USB slots or are you using a custom PS4 controller?

 

Try rebooting your network and power cycle the console. Then launch the game and reset your settings back to default. Try playing some games.

 

Reboot the power to the modem/router

  1. Unplug the power cable from your modem/router for 5-10 minutes to refresh the network.

PS4:

Power Cycle

  1. Touch the power button on the front of the PS4 for at least 7 seconds (until the system beeps twice).
  2. Turn it back on after 1 minute. Launch the game.

Hey all,

I moved several individual reports together so we have them all under one post. If any of you are still experiencing this, can you let us know if reinstalling the game fixes this for you? 

 

If you still experience this, please attach a record clip (or link to a clip) of when this happens. A 5 minute clip of leading up to this and you interacting with the box for a minute would really be helpful in narrowing down what causes this. Try exiting the death box and check your inventory, then loot again.
