Guns placed as pickups switching to pistols?

[flyer2359]

So I'm creating a deathmatch but when I try it with real people online all of the guns (pickups) are switched to pistols. Is there a reason for that? I have it on forced+pickups and when I do owned+pickups it does the same thing. You can use your owned weapons but for whatever reason the pickups all switch over to pistols.

Is the character that you're using ranked high enough to possess these weapons? If not, it may default to a lower level weapon for each player according to their rank. OR the Creator is broken as usual. My best guess.

It has nothing to do with the above post as I used weapons (minigun advanced rifle and rpg) in my created dms well before I had the weapons unlocked to earn the tints (you can unlock them before the gun as well). It is simply an issue on r* end and you may have to reload the match, test it out and reload the game. I have encountered this problem many many times and its always fixable
