Loot Box Problem

So I've been playing Apex since before season 1 and it's been great I love this game can't wait for season 4. But i want this bug fixed because about half way through season 2, a bug started happening to me where when I go and loot a death box it wont tell me how much of an item I'm dropping. For example if I have 80 heavy rounds and I have no slots in my backpack and want to swap it for light in a death box I have to count 4 times to make sure it went. Same with med kits, shield cells, everything and it's so annoying. I have to back out of the death box to make sure the drop even worked because it doesnt tell me anything, it makes the noise of me dropping but doesnt show me. Please if there is anyone with suggestions let me know. Thanks

    @t00s1k4u what exactly do you mean?

    When you drop an item, depending on what button you press, you either drop half of it/ all of it or one by one if its meds/shields.

    If you are looting and exchanging items with said loot box and the item is not going in your inventory, that just means another player snagged it before you did which is an issue.

    The issue is: When looting the same lootbox, if a teammate grabs an item, that lootbox does not update until you exit it and go back in.

    I find this very annoying as I try to get some loot and think I have time to decide what to leave but before I know it, all the meds/ammo are gone.

    No another player isnt even looting it and I press square to loot and drop items. So let's so I'm running a hemlock and I have heavy with no space left in my backpack. I kill someone I go loot their body myself nobody with me and i switch the hemlock for r-301 and now i have to exchnage my heavy ammo in the death box but when i go to drop my ammo to make space it glitches to where I cant see how much I'm dropping I cant drop more than one thing at a time only outside of a death box I can drop more than one thing and see what I'm dropping.

    @t00s1k4u Ah yes I believe these issues are connected.

    The loot doesn't seem to update real time when you loot it.

    It just switches what you selected to take with whatever is stored in the bag slot you decided to exchange that for.

    If you press and hold light ammo, and select a stack of 80 heavy ammo, you will just swap that 80 heavy for 80 light. You cannot see items dropping on the floor since they're put in the deathbox instead of what you took.

    There is no need to show you what you loot or drop, since you already have eyes on what you loot and drop from deathbox and inventory menu.

    I really don't understand your issue with not "seeing" what you pick up and drop since you already do.
