Thrown Weapon Marker

[Zachary T Howell]

Hello Devs and Survivors.

I am well aware this has been spoken about in the past but it cannot hurt to push more awareness for a feature.

 

As the title above suggests I'm addressing thrown weapons and how incredibly difficult they are to locate once they leave your hand.

Honestly this goes for anytime a weapon leaves your hand wether it's Gnats or wether youve chosen to huck your spear for a high damage finishing move.

My suggestion is to drastically increase the range of the waypoint leading you to said weapon. I'm talking like seeing a weapon marker in the pond from the picnic table. Now what if you can't get a weapon and the icon just sits there forever taunting you.

Automatically picking up lost items outside of combat that came from your hotbar is my next humble suggestion with a small active radius around the player to help obtain weapons and tools that have found themselves in...less that accessible places due to phyics.

For example I just lost my Spear outside of a Boss arena because I speared an enemy and when the bug was harvested my spear skittered behind the mesh in the wall. If I had auto pick up with like a 5ft radius I could have obtained the spear from behind the wall and faired better in the fight.

 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I feel like you should be able to toggle lost items for sure specially if they've been upgraded. Regular ones so what but once they have been upgraded you shouldn't be able to lose them.
