I have noticed recently that certain weapon types have completed vanished from the Equipment options when searching through the options via Manage Equipment. Specifically, all Radiant type weapons have disappeared, as well as all of the Repeating Shot weapons (bows, crossbows). I have purchased almost every piece of DDB material so I don't think these items were just moved away into some other sourcebook that I haven't purchased yet. Is it common for items to just disappear from the equipment lists on DDB?
I understand that character classes from UA or Critical Role show up from time to time in a temporary capacity. Could something like this explain why certain equipment types would entirely disappear from the lists?
You mean the artificer infusions? They were added as items when they were UA, but were actually part of a class feature. Now that artificer is official, the class feature has been fully implemented (well 90% implemented) and they are no longer in item listing.
Now when making an artificer character, you can find your infusions on the inventory page and apply them to weapons there.
Well, that explains things, although the Artificer class had quite a few handy magic items which they could replicate, including the bag of holding, cap of water breathing, and several other useful items. I hope all of those didn't get removed for non-Artificer characters. Thank you for the quick response! :)

No. Existing magic items (like those in DMG) did not get removed and the artificer can still make them (the list has even been expanded). It even makes them using the new infusion feature added to the character sheet.
Then I must be doing something wrong, or my account is funked up, as I can't find any radiant or repeating shot weapons under equipment any longer. The only DDB content I don't own is Rick & Morty and Acquisitions Incorporated, and these items existed before either of them showed up. All of the sources are enabled in the Home screen under character preferences.
You don't find them in the general equipment listings anymore. On your artificer, you go to the infusions tab in equipment and from there you can create the infusions
Radiant and Repeating shot weapons never existed to begin with. DNDBeyond only used them as placeholders for the Artificer Infusions which have now been implemented in their own system as DxJxC said.

Hi Emmber,
That was both the answer I was looking for, and yet not what I was hoping to find, but it clears everything up for me. Thank you so much :)
That seems impractical. Any idea why it wouldn't just be available to equip?
Because they haven't gotten that far. There were so many people that didn't realise those infusions weren't just normal magic items in WGtE when they were added that way as a temporary solution. Now they are tied to a class feature and they don't have a system for sharing information from one character sheet to another yet.

Hey anyone/everyone:

Thanks in advance!

So how would an artificer give a radiant weapon to someone else?
