Weapons despawning when dropped

Games Halo Infinite
1

I noticed during the flight that if i puck up a br, and get killed , by the time the 5 second respawn is over if i return to my corpse the weapon has despawned, this had a knockon effect of pretty much having a tiny window to grab a gun off an opponent i just killed and finding next to no dropped weapons on the ground bar starting weapons (power weapons this didnt apply to) I feel like this really annoying as it removed almost any chance of finding dropped weapons from dead players if i personally wasnt next to them when they died and solely having to rely on wall racks.

This had never occured to me that it really mattered until it was gone, countless times in previous game sive come across weapons that have been dropped and now its missing its very wierd. I would be curious if anyone else noticed this as I am yet to see anyone really talk about this as id have expected this to be a bigger issue. Id also like to know what the actual despawn rate is because this doesnt seem to apply to starting weapons and of corse power weapons, purely wall rack weapons.

TL;DR
rack weapons despawning by the time you respawn, so no random dropped weapons around the map from players and bodies. Do others find this annoying?

that doesnt happen. Ive had plenty of weapons stay on the ground. I havent timed the despawn but its def longer then 5 seconds

pistols and ars stay, but if i die with a br or commando etc, by the time if got to my body even if i spawned nearby the weapon is gone, this would always happen, so its unlikely that it was picked up int he few seconds between me respawnign and getting there, not tom ention how few times if ound ofther non starting weapons on the floor

I never timed it, but the weapon clear time is pretty quick. Was one of the big things I didn’t like about Halo 4 either.

It’s quick, but not that fast. Someone probably picked up the ammo or the weapon.
