Inability to pick up items while Mobs are nearby

This issue has just been an inconvenience, but it just caused me to lose a Unique after dying to a one-shot from the big gorilla in Act 3. I realize 'git gud' is one fix, but it would be nice if I could pick up items or activate death pylons in Ascendance trials without having to kill everything around me first.

Thanks!

lol the reason why is ps5 has auto-aim at closest enemy which is prioritized over loot. So if enemy close by it will auto aim at it instead aim at loot. I believe it not possible to turn this off

This concern is pinned in the known issues at the top of bug reports.

i had that issue too BUT i found that if i dont assign anything to the pick up button is ok and trust me. the game will not know when u are using skill OR when you want to pick up item. if not the next thread will be " OMG i want to use skill but my game keep picking up item"!!!

so i suggest u to not bound skill to pick up. for me i have pick up on L1. working pretty well.
