    I just made a map and placed all the weapons and spawns, including a needler.

    When I tested it out I realised that I could never pick up the needler. No one else playing the map could pick it up either.

    So, I went back to forge, deleted it, and placed another one. The same thing happened and no one could pick it up in custom games.

    Anyone have a fix for this?

    Is the needler placed ontop of a box or something of that nature?

    Interlock a weapon holder into the box to keep it up off the ground. :) That should work.

    In fact it is. Placed inside a open double box.

    As for weapon holders, I'm all out.

    perhaps the box is set at place at start: no and the needler has interlocked itself with the box.

    I don't know. I might need to check. The box is floating though.

    Edit: I checked. Nope it places at start, and I tried repositioning it and re-placing it, but its still the same problem. I can hit it with a melee, knock it away with a grenade but no matter what I can't pick it up. It's fine with all the other weapons on the map.

    Set the needler to spawn 10 seconds into the game, after the box spawns. That should completely ensure nothing goes wrong.

    I think its because you know how grav lift if you set it to not respawn at start and set the run time min and max to the same number, then you can put objects on it. That might be your problem, if you have the double box at start at start no and the min and max are the same.

    This is a common problem. No weapons can be picked up on an overturned open box, both double and single. You can melee it sometimes and you'll be able to snag it, but you'll probably be dead by then. Best suggestion is to swap out a weapon holder from somewhere else or move the Needler.
