The reaper drone's inability to pick up weapons and armor makes no sense from balance and game point of view, scouting should be encouraged and items picked up instead of pinging map like idiots "get that ra from here".
During a recent discussion in game, it came to light that drone was originally able to pick up weapons and armor, and it was changed intentionally to give some kind of advantage to mobcon, which sounds like complete nonsense to me. Thus restoring drones original inventory.
PATCH NOTES:
Restored reaper drone ability to pick up weapons and armor
