Disappearing kills!

Post » Mon Jan 18, 2016 9:29 pm

On Xbox One. Has anyone else had the issue since the last update where baddies killed are disappearing before you can get to them, loot and all? Now I am aware of the flying body glitch and that isnt it, i have actually seen bodies fade and disappear moments before I get to them.



As far as I can tell it has only been happening since the last update. I don't mind bodies disappearing, makes sense when you think about it, but to vanish less than a minute after being killed is not what I would expect.



Really annoying when its a raider in power armour and instead of shooting his core (never gets tired) killing him so I can loot his core, only to almost get there and his corpse magically fades away.

Are you using any kind of laser or energy weapon that can make piles of ash or goo out of bodies?

No, though when I do they may be occasionally vanishing too. Haven't noticed any ashed or gooified corpses doing it, doesnt mean they arent.

Nope, solo baddies or occasionally one in a group of two or three. Also as I previously stated it wasnt happening before.


With large numbers I'm too busy killing to note where they are.

Finding and looting all the bodies in a big fight is definitely an issue. I've ignored the bloody mess perk forever for just that reason.



When I get into a fight that includes a legendary (which is fairly often in survival mode) I will make a point to ignore the legendary as best I can and kill all the lesser opponents first so I can concentrate on the legendary and make damm sure I see exactly where he goes down so I can loot what is probably going to be something awesome like a nocturnal toenail clipper that does 2 extra points of damage at night or something.



I'd like to see a mod eventually that shows un-looted bodies as hotspots on the local map.

What update?



I'm on PC and had a couple situations this weekend where bodies simply could not be found no matter how long I searched the area I knew the body fell. Prior to this weekend it wasn't really a problem.
