been playing the new release and was having a great time, we all got off very late eager to play again the next day. Come day time our best gear despawned at launch such as bee gear as well as the pinch whacker. im not upset about most of the gear however the pinch whacker was a one of a kind weapon to my knowledge and was wondering if its can respawn again or if it will be gone for the entirety of this playthrough. 

I just emailed support about an issue like this.

In our shared world equipped items such as armor and trinkets have disappeared.

 

Did any of you get downed and/or disconnected when your items went missing?
