When you pick up weapon 7 in singleplayer as Ranger, the Quad Damage activates as well as getting the thunderbolt, but you don't get the item that allows you to reuse quad damage (QuadDamageItem). This is mainly noticeable in GZdoom but I noticed it in Zandronum last night as well.
Edit: The issue being in Zandronum was probably noticed from below, so it may be a feature.
"The wonky rules about when Ranger could or could not get a Quad item have been chucked out the window in favor of a cvar--samsara_permaquad. Put at 1 to get a Quake II-style inventory Quad Damage, put at 0 to have just 30 seconds and nothing more."
