It’s everywhere, not just BF. It’s with EVERY environmental pickup, transformation or tech-imposed weapon swap.
It’s between “annoying” and “very annoying”, but since Kits don’t have a CD (unlike Conjured weapons) a practised engineer will get used to constantly re-equipping them manually.
Yes it would be awesome if it got fixed, but if not it’s not the end of the World.
My kits stay equipped after harvesting unless I use some sort of gathering booster.
I use streamlined kits. I haven’t even noticed this.
that it makes every other class in the game boring to play.”

Hi all, I figured I would follow up with a few observations.
Firstly, I do not use Streamlined Kits on my build nor can I think of any other traits or effects I regularly use which could affect this.
Secondly, up until I read these responses I would say it happened with roughly 95% consistency, occasionally not switching out of my FT kit after gathering and making me do a double take. I don’t recall that (i.e. auto-switching back to my originally equipped FT kit) happening twice in a row.
… until recently. I swear it’s like a developer read my post and flipped a flag on my account to address this since I am no longer able to reproduce the issue. At all. I have tried harvesting to completion, interrupting harvesting after the final strike but before the finishing animation completes, etc. I have tried with and without boosters. I actually turned on Streamlined Kits and then turned them back off. I am now gathering and not losing my FT kit in the process.
As a developer myself and someone who has more than once had to respond to a bug report with “could not duplicate; please provide steps”, I cannot tell you how frustrating this is. As far as I know, nothing about my character, my account, my build, or my activities, has changed in a way which could explain suddenly everything working.
If anyone (myself included) can come up with a consistent means of duplicating this, please post here. I don’t think the problem is addressed, I think I’m somehow avoiding it now. When I get a chance I will post a link to my build in case anyone sees something in there they think may be part of the problem. shrug
