Trouble picking up items from the ground

When I do something that drops a lot of items like Breach I have a very hard time picking up items. Even if I have the item highlighted to pick up I can't pick it up. I assume it's because I'm too far because sometimes if I just move around it will let me but many times no matter what I do I can't pick certain items up.

I'm playing with controller so not sure if that has any bearing on this but jesus this is annoying. Does anyone have any tips or a workaround or some way to increase the pick up radius or something? Maybe I just need to switch a super strict loot filter or something but it's already on semi-strict.

*edit* to add that if I leave the instance and come back it will frequently consolidate the items again and I have no issues at that point but this is not a great workaround.

If you're picking up few items then yes, all you need is a stricter filter, you can also edit your own to hide trash loot (gears below 79, shards n stuff).

I'm using mnt filters from strict to uber from campaign to maps, it does really show only what you need.

Maybe check this out and do your own.

Or try this one i'm using on xbox, get more than 1 to see what you're more comfy with.

Neversink are also friendly and you can edit them with filterblade.
