When will the Chest and Ammo gallery be fixed?

Summary

I am experiencing significant issues with the Chest and Ammo Gallery device, particularly with the default chest, which is currently glitched. My game, a battle royale, relies heavily on this device for gameplay. At the moment, the default chest is either dropping nothing or only providing a Lever Action Shotgun or Suppressed SMG. This issue renders my game unplayable and has forced me to temporarily unlist it, as players leave within minutes due to the lack of loot.

While I understand that creating custom chests with Verse could be a potential workaround, there are several challenges:

I would need to replace over 60 chests in my game manually.
The custom chests wouldn’t appear on the player’s HUD, which is crucial for indicating nearby loot.
The solution would feel out of place and less polished.
I am also aware that with the upcoming OG season launching on December 6th, this glitch is likely to persist, potentially leaving my game unplayable for up to two months.

I believe a solution, such as a customizable chest device that allows creators to define a loot pool and randomize drops, would be incredibly helpful. This would not only address the current issue but also provide a robust tool for creators moving forward.

Thank you for considering this feedback, and I hope a resolution can be found soon to restore functionality for games like mine.
