This happened to me too but only since the last update. It seemed related to either using the omni-tool or getting on the buggy and equipping the torch with a full inventory. Somehow the automatic unequipping of my stave meant it disappeared from my inventory - it wasn’t dropped, thrown etc. Fortunately, I realised straight away and reverted to an earlier save. It hasn’t happened since but I’ve been careful to leave some empty inventory slots.

@AmphHitter Are you able to go back to an earlier auto save where you still have the weapon equipped. I did that and just been careful to keep some inventory space clear now until fixed.
