Can't Pick Up Existant Mod Drops When Joining A Game In Progress

[AluminumHaste]

I keep joining games and there are several mods on the floor, I walk over them and they play the pickup sound, but never disappear. At the end of the mission it showed only 4 mod rewards, even though there were at least 5 on the ground that I couldn't pickup, and I had picked up 4 from killing mobs myself.

 

These were already dropped when I joined the missions, this is new behaviour as far as I know.

 

It looks like this:

 

 

It just follows me around if I walk slowly enough, which is I think caused by my follower trying to vacuum it up. This also includes other items like ammo and credits and health/energy orbs.

They will play the pickup sound if I stand there, over and over again.

 

Rewards that drop after I've joined I can pick up.

These also never disappear.

This has been the case for as long as I can remember. I think the gist is that you can't get stuff you weren't around for.

 

It would be nice if there was an official statement, though, and perhaps a fix that makes it so the mods simply don't appear for you (or if this is indeed a bug, then a fix that would allow you to pick up the mod).
