Was doing automatch earlier today and ran into this possibly unintended bug.

It was my understanding that inorder to gain the penal sticky AT satchel you needed to purchase the PTRS upgrade package available. However if a penal picks up a single dropped PTRS, they gain the ability without ever purchasing the package.

For example, a guard squad drops one of their PTRS on retreat and it is reclaimed by a penal. The penal now has 5 SVTs, a PTRS, as well as the sticky AT satchel. Unsure if this is a bug or intended.

Probably a bug because I believe the reason Penals don't drop PTRS was to preserve that AT satchel ability being functional.

Thats strange, that means the ability checks for a slot item rather than an upgrade. That must be a design decision, because checking for the upgrade is actually easier, right?

Edit:
Confirmed it checks for the PTRS slot item and not the upgrade itself.

Well I cant see it as a bug if they put the slot item instead of the upgrade, so yes, its just a stupid design decision.
