What happened to the old "new" pickup system?

I know we're out of beta, technically, but I was playing today when I came across a few weapons on the ground. Trying to pick up a grenade, I first picked up a pistol followed by a rifle and Finally the grenade I was wanting. The rifle and pistol added a ton of weight and left me moving sluggish only to promptly die ~10 seconds later when out of stamina.

This prompted my memory to a video of the beta, where a new pickup system was toted as a special feature of ro2, but is now inexplicably missing. I thought it was a good idea, so I'm just curious where it might have gone and if/when we may see it implemented? Is it faster to simply pickup whatever is in front of you an struggle through 1 or 2 things before getting what you wanted?

Yeah that would be nice to have from time to time.... and if there's just one weapon, it'd be just as quick as the current pickup system..... thus instead of fiddling with multiple weapons close together or on top of each other, this system would be faster to use.

Yes...I remember that a new pick up system was said to be implemented. One that allowed a player to quickly grab the weapons one wanted out've a pile with out grabbing & tossing as in RO.

Don't know what happened to it.

The whole user - interface had such a greater charm than the interface we have now .
