Two Outpost enhancement requests - Yellow Keys Pickpocket & Drone Wing elevator
These aren't bugs per se, more just two mechanics that one might reasonably believe would work based on the way the rest of the game operates. They are repeatable because they are just how the game is currently designed and don't require any special setup.
1) Yellow Keys Can't be picked up by Pickpocket drone from their platforms. After a runner hacks a Yellow key (supply clearance) it visually appears to be "sitting" in the container. Visually this is similar to how a key looks when its sitting on a shelf or dropped by a runner on the ground. Except in this instance its superglued to the platform and can only picked up by a runners hands, not the pickpocket drone that normally can pick up items.
2) The Conveyance drone elevator can't be mantled. Normally in Marathon you can "grab" the edge of a platform to crawl up it, but you can't do that on the elevator/drone wing elevator. It's difficult to jump onto it so often you fall several stories down and have to signal it again. Additionally claymores cannot be placed on the elevator platform.
In both cases there's a discrepancy between what the visual language of the game communicates regarding what is possible during play, and the programming of how the game is coded. I've seen both issues appear in social media videos from other players so I know its not just me. Thanks Bungie!
