    If you mean as pick-up-able weapons, I believe that's in the works (along with all other secondary weapons like welders)

    No no, drop as in carrying them and get eaten, bye bye res.

    BUT: If I had a pouch full of grenades and died, do my grenades make a booby trap? No right, they are inert with unlit fuses. I would prefer expendables to get re'nanoed along with you ... could even open up mines at 5 res each, up to a max of 3, so i buy 3, place one, die, bye 2 more etc etc...

    It was an idea since they just seemed to disappear.

    maybe they drop ..unactivated.. next marine have to activate them

    I'm divided here. It's comparable to an alien getting killed during an evolution to a higher life form - they have invested a lot of res into that change, but lose it all when they're killed. I think logically it makes sense to have unactivated mines, welders, jetpacks, stay on the field after the marine has died (for a time) in the same way that shotguns and grenade launchers do. But for gameplay balance, I'm ok with knowing that mines and the like disappear, because aliens have the same disadvantage similarly.

    I'd say:
    - Weapons and tools (minus the axe) all drop (e.g. lmg, sg, gl, ft, mines, pistol, welder)
    - Equipment does not drop (e.g. jp and exo)
