I'm mostly posting this here so I don't forget to investigate it! But I have noticed in Rebirth that when I run across a set of lasers that I thought in the past would give me full Quad level 4 lasers, I end up with only level 3 or the like.

I also know for a fact that in my home, The Cannery, I played a few games early on here where both my opponent and I had full quad level 4 lasers. But now, when I play that level one player can get quad level 4, while the other only has quad level 2.

There was a bug one way or the other- etiher a few extra lasers spawned the first few times I played it, or one of the newer versions of Rebirth is short-changing lasers when you pick up a pack or the like by 1 laser level.

I will look into it and report back, but I just wanted to note it here in case anyone else has observed this! I'm thinking it could be due to Rebirth getting updated, but maybe it's just me being crazy.

I haven't seen this, but I have seen plenty of times where I think I should have picked up a weapon and it's still sitting there -- often, right up against a wall, where I have to basically ram the wall to get it.

I've noticed the "thought I picked up the weapon" issue several times. Until now I never thought twice about it other than turned around to see it still there. I made sure to completely fly through it next time. -- DKH

Now that you mention it, sometimes I don't get the gun I'm after on the first try either. I just figured it was crappy piloting, though.

Well now that the 3 of you mention it, that has happened to me, too! Oh well, the code is never going to be exactly the same, I'm just thrilled that someone is supporting it :)

Yeah, The Cannery has four Laser upgrades and two Quad Lasers, so that's Level 4 Quads for one player and Level 2 Quads for the other. I know there used to be several ways of duplicating weapons, one of them being Kali's "quick join" function. Also, an earlier version of Rebirth might have had a glitch to this effect … but both of these issues were gone before I started Descent multiplayer, so I don't know that much about them.

Got it, thanks ryusei!
