Siege Weapon Disappeared While Being Used?

Has anyone else noticed this - I am on PS4 NA.
My friend and I were defending Arrius Keep in Kyne yesterday and we both had siege weapons up, when all of a sudden they just disappeared. We were on the top level and it either coincided with the enemy breaking down the door, or the keep flipping, we are not sure which.
We have never noticed this happen before and they were both at well over half health, so they didn't fall apart, they just disappeared. I am not fussed about the weapon, mine was only a bought one but he was annoyed because his was a cold fire ballista.
Is this some mechanic that we just haven't noticed before or was it just a one off system glitch?

✭✭✭✭✭I think siege remain when the keep flips and would make since because the keep is still under attack basically. It has not been repaired.
I do not recall what happens if siege are atop a wall that collapses.0 -

Great Question, same thing happened to me, I just thought it was intended, only so many uses. Curious now about it.0 -

It does have a life, it wears out and takes more wear when it is being hit by siege. It can also be repaired to give it more life.
Edit: Siege also take significantly less damage with the Siege Weapon Shield protecting them. That specific morph of the shield reduces damage to siege from enemy siege by 75%Edited by idk on July 31, 2017 5:55AM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Your weapon probably lost its life.
Allthough I lost one ballista last night (which almost never happen) and though I have just been distracted by the fight and forgot to repair it0 -

✭✭Don't forget, a siege weapon only lasts so long. If not repaired, it will wear out quickly and disappear. Wear increases when you're under attack.1 -
Insomnia rex✭✭✭I had a siege just get lagged into invisibility, could still interact but not aim. Left it because it would not show the x for stow thing so i know when its ready when the siege is invisible.CP630 AR20 PC EU, Alt Mag Sorc AD - Insomnicia Rex0 -

We are both pretty meticulous with monitoring our weapons health and always keep repairing them, so I don't believe this was the cause.Don't forget, a siege weapon only lasts so long. If not repaired, it will wear out quickly and disappear. Wear increases when you're under attack.
Also, when siege run out of health, they usually 'fall apart' and in this instance they simply vanished from in front of our eyes.Australian on PS4 NA server.

✭✭Lol every time you fire a coldfire it looses health.
This is why they sell "siege repair kits"
This is why they showed you how to equip and use these on siege during the very breif tutorial.
