There is a desynchronization between the despawn timers for fallen characters and their weapons dropped upon death.
Weapons dropped by deceased players/AI disappear from the ground significantly faster than the character bodies themselves. This creates an awkward situation where players can loot ammo, bandages, or equipment from a corpse's inventory, but the primary/secondary weapon lies missing from the ground and cannot be retrieved.
Steps to Reproduce:
Eliminate a player or AI soldier in an area.
Observe the weapon dropping next to the fallen body.
Wait without picking up the weapon.
Observe the weapon disappearing from the ground while the corpse remains present and fully interactable.
Expected Result: Dropped weapons associated with a fallen body should remain on the ground until the body despawns, or share a synchronized cleanup timer.
Actual Result: Weapons despawn prematurely long before the character's body disappears, preventing players from looting the weapon.
