Anyone else having issues with the new DLC that released on Thursday? After I get the black market drop of the parachute thrusters, I approach the box and the "Switch" command pops up. After hitting the Y button, Rico bends down to pick up something but nothing appears to be there to pick up, so he just goes through the animation without actually doing anything. Not seeing any change, I deploy my chute and try every button on the freakin' controller to thrust but no luck. 
 
Is anyone else coming across this potential bug? The thrusters are listed as Level 6 in the menu but I don't figure that has anything to do with the issue.

They are level 6 by default, and you need to press  RB on the 360 controller or R1 for PS3 to activate the thrusters.
 
If your not getting it out of the box then I guess it must be a bug, hopefully they will sort it soon.
 
 
Has anyone else had any problems with it? I find that when I die and keep all my equipment exactly the same except for the new parachute which I have to rebuy every time I die, or reload the game (which sucks)

Yeah, the despawning thing sounds intentional, if not crappy. But no one else has come across the buggy pickup? Guess I'll have to try again when I get home and hope this load fares better.

I didn't have a problem.  I usually am fine with DLC, so I don't know if re-downloading it would work?  You don't have to pay for it again.
