3. Notice that some weapons are locked and weapon assignments do not appear on the Assignment Board.

Explanation

Hello,

I’m having a serious progression/save issue in Deep Rock Galactic on Steam and I couldn’t fix it with normal methods.

All my classes are affected. Several weapons are locked in the Equipment Terminal, but the weapon assignments do not appear anymore on the Assignment Board. Because of this, I cannot unlock the weapons again.

In addition, the Equipment Terminal charges me again for weapon upgrades that I had already unlocked before. Old loadouts still work, but I cannot properly edit the weapons.

Character customization is also affected. Some appearance accessories that were previously unlocked now appear locked or in an inconsistent state.

Forge-related content is affected as well. Previously forged items and forge unlocks show inconsistent behavior and do not work as expected.

I already tried:

Verifying game files on Steam

Steam Cloud resync

Restoring older save backups

Restarting the game and Steam

Nothing solved the problem. It looks like a corrupted global progression / unlock state in my save file, affecting weapons, upgrades, character customization, and forge items.

Could you please help me restore the correct progression and unlock state for my save?

Thank you very much for your time and support.

Best regards,

Watchers
