As a crucial follow-up to this issue, I would like to request that the developers take decisive action regarding high-caliber sniper rifles (.338, .408, .50 cal) to match the healthy standard we have seen for years in Arma 3.
In the Arma 3 community, high-caliber sniper rifles have always remained accessible to players as they progress normally, without arbitrary or abusive administrative locks. Arma 3 servers remain highly active and populated to this day precisely because players are not subjected to hostile gatekeeping or systematic bans over equipment choice. If Arma 3 successfully maintained its player base with unrestricted high-caliber weapons, there is no logical reason for the Arma Reforger ecosystem to allow such restrictive frameworks.
Therefore, we request that the developers:
1. Permanently remove these systematic rank-locking mods from the workshop.
2. Enforce guidelines that prevent server hosts (both public and private) from hard-locking high-caliber equipment behind arbitrary administrative grinds.
3. Keep high-caliber precision weapons as accessible as they traditionally are in the Arma franchise to preserve fair, realistic gameplay.
