Hey gang,

I want to confirm that this is not something I am doing wrong or misinterpreting. I just started the game as a Nomad and got to the part where you climb the telecom tower. On one of the beams I found four items, two of which I could pick up like usual and two of which (pictured below) showed the loot symbol but would not let me pick them up no matter what distance or angle I looked at them from:

Has anyone here been able to pick these up? Or are these bugged for everyone? I’m asking about these in particular because after googling a bit I found people reporting the same underlying issue in other instances but where others chimed in and said they were able to pick things up like normal. Also, if one of you did manage to pick these up, can someone tell me what they are? I’m assuming they’re not a big deal either way but it would suck if the sheet of paper for example was a note or something and part of the worldbuilding.

Bump.
I constantly find items I can't pick.
and some items wont disappear after picking up.
I have been playing for a few days, and the game has this bug for me too. Some items have the "loot" icon but I cannot interact with them/pick them up. Even sometimes after I defeat an enemy and they drop a weapon I can see the weapon, and even the loot icon, but cannot pick it up. It happens on every type of surface for me, even sometimes falling through the ground.

For me the worst part is when the bug makes it so I cannot loot a quest item, or when an enemy drops something like a blue/legendary weapon, and I cannot pick it up. Then I reload my game, but it sucks when it happens :(
Same here.
Items getting stuck under bodies or in the geometry and cannot be picked up.
If the item is stuck under a body or car you can move them out of the way to get the item. 100% bugged for sure.
there is definitely a problem with items and picking some of them up.
a lot of junk items that are visible and labeled on-screen as loot are just impossible to interact with. a couple have seemed to have slightly clipped into the environment, possibly that is causing some of the issue.

also the last item i pickup shows up on any body that i check but the item is not accessible, just a glitch.
I can pick up most items I find easily.
Sometimes I have to move the body on top to be able to get it.


There have only been a few that I just plain couldn't get no matter if they were clearly uncovered or not.
I just leave if that happens.

Yeah, it's pretty common throughout the world. Thankfully I haven't seen it happen with anything better than a blue....so far.... Seems to happen quite a bit for me out in the desert. Must have something to do with the terrain. Other glitch I've noticed is people still talking after I've killed them, which in turn still makes the area "hostile" even though it's clear. Definitely some stuff CDPR needs to clean up.
What irritates me is that you have to pick up junk items as for some reason these have priority before you get to the item you want. Often have to walk away and position yourself awkwardly to get to the item.

Adenru: I constantly find items I can't pick.
Same here. Especially junk - I haven't run into this with anything important yet. Fingers crossed.
what i have found is the item is not exactly the place the trigger to select it is.

Go away from the item, grab something else then walk back. it may be in a different location and now able to be grabbed. Also, swing at the item with a melee weapon. you may scatter something that conceals the item so it can't be properly targeted.

Then of course... there's the items that are broke.
