Prison Escape Help

I cannot pick up any weapons other than the shank in the Prison Escape in Campaign mode.  The first guard I kill with the shank drops a shotgun and the informatic next to it says "Hold to pickup Hawk 12G" but does not have a key after the word "Hold" so I can't pick up the weapon.  I was good enough the first time to get to the tower by knifing most of the guards and only alerted them once I was up the stairs....but coming back down you kind of need a weapon to take out the ungodly horde after you pull the switches.  And to reiterate, I can't pickup a weapon at all.  I've tried restarting the mission, restarting the checkpoint, nothing works.

    Save your progress, then turn of your game and try to start up the campaign again. Can you not pick up the weapons even if you press the correct key?

    I am having the same issue. There is no "e"(key to use) in the message for me either. 

    I have closed, and restarted the game about 4 times already and many times verified that the "e" key is my interact/use key - I already know pressing the "e" key activates the switches, but I can NOT pick up any of the weapons. I really need a weapon in the hallway, doing it with just the shank is getting tedious as I keep getting killed.

    I'm having the exact same problem, has a solution to this been found?

  • None that I know of, although it would seem that in case of some people using "R" to pick the weapon up does the job.

    By the way, can't you pick the guns of other killed soldiers up?

  • Hey, try to allocate a key,

    1) Start BF4

    2) Press Esc

    3) Select Options

    4) Select Key Bindings

    5) Confirm the Allocations of Reload & Interact
