So, I've noticed that when a trap is disarmed the weapon you are disarming, disappears. You get the ammo but the weapon is gone.

Why?

I feel this is pretty lame-sauce. Why did they nerf the traps so that you don't get the weapon the trap is set with when disarmed?

Its happened three times on me so now, I don't even bother disarming traps. I just run into them, stupid I know. But imo there is no reason to disarm them. There is no reward for a successful disarm. The whole point imo is to be rewarded with a weapon for a successful disarm.

Actually, the main thing behind disarming a trap, is not getting hit/affected by it.

I assume you're talking about the rigged-shotgun traps, as you could never pick up bear-traps in the first place, and you DO get regular/concealed mines, AND you get the grenades if you disarm a grenade-bouquet.

One reward for a successful disarm of the shotgun, is the xp. Not a lot, but something. Of course add in well-rested, and two (or was it three) levels of the xp-boost perk, and it's not bad.

The other reward, is you DO get the ammo, if nothing else.

Every time I've looked a bit closer at the rigged-shotgun traps, most of they time they don't even look like full shotguns, more a modded tube. But I can understand wanting the actual gun to repair something else with, or just sell for the few paltry caps. Considering the type likely used, there's really not much you'd get for it

Unlike in FO3, when you got a shotgun every time you disarmed that kind of trap.

They're just single shotguns anyway so we aren't missing much. Except maybe for the repairs.
