Summarize your bug When you pickup a katana or a flamethrower, your gadget drops. This is probably meant for you to switch back to your original gadget. However, if anyone else tries to pickup your gadget, it simply disappears so you're no longer able to pick it up. Perhaps it should just replace your melee weapon?
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Pick up a katana or flamethrower. As your gadget drops, have someone else pick it up.
What happens when the bug occurs? Your gadget disappears, and the other person doesn't have it.
What should be happening instead? Maybe have the katana replace your melee weapon for the duration of that one life.

  • Hey @SterlingARCH3R Picking up Katana / Flamethrower causes gadget slot 2 drop is working as designed and the gadget is on the floor in case you don't want to pick up the Katana / Flamethrower so you can switch back.

  • OK, now I can pickup another teammates gadget. So for instance, if a Recon picked up a katana and dropped a spawn beacon, I (as a support) can pick up the spawn beacon and replace my AT mines. So, I can now act as a recon with unlimited ammo (since I can also pick up a dead recon's sniper rifle). Is this an intended feature?

    Here's an example of me as a recon with AT mines (bottom right hand corner), which were dropped by an assault class player:
