Were it so easy...

What determines when dropped weapons disappear? Time, waves, or is there a random element? I hate it when stockpiled weapons disappear... Thx

I have seen you future

I think it has something to do with time, and probably the number of weapons on the map.

I know that at the start of each set all objects on the map reset or disappear, unless your holding or driving it. I think bodies reset at the start of each round, also.

At the start of each round, every "power weapon" deletes itself. Unless of course you're playing Alpha Site and stash the weapons in the elevator shaft. Those weapons won't disappear.

It's just to start a clean slate for a new round. It was done by design.

Yes, things would get far too cluttered in just a short time if the game didn't periodically clean up the map. I was hoping to get a better tactical understanding for the cleanup strategy. Like was suggested, I too think the number of objects (weapons & KIA) are a factor, as is time, as are triggers for sets/rounds/waves. The number of variables involved make it hard to predict. When in doubt, hang onto it.

Interesting about the Alpha Site elevator. I did 200K solo on that one. Wish I'd known then. Still need the others.
Thanks,

Are you positive of that?
