Issues with an item not always appearing

[STNpotato]

I'm working on a map for Heretic & I put a firemace in the level, but sometimes it doesn't appear when I playtest the map, I placed it right in front of my starting point so I should see it right away, but sometimes (like 1/5 times) it's just not there. Every other item shows up just fine, is this weapon bugged or something?

A notable feature of the Firemace is that it only has a ~75% chance of appearing in a level when not in the deathmatch gamemode; also, when multiple Firemaces are placed in a level, only one has a chance to appear, allowing for some minor randomization in Heretic maps.
