Administration and violations

• Administration instructions related to rule enforcement and server stability are mandatory.
• When reviewing a dispute, the administration may request video, screenshots, logs, or additional information.
• Do not knowingly provide false information during an investigation.

• Punishment is determined based on the severity, consequences, and repetition of the violation.

SECTION 08

No free handouts

• Chests, vehicles, or other objects that provide unlimited free weapons, ammunition, medical supplies, food, or other resources are considered a malfunction or exploit, not an intended gameplay mechanic.
• Do not use such sources or pass resources obtained from them to other players. If you find one, stop interacting with it and report its location and the affected object to the administration.
• Deliberately using, concealing, or distributing resources obtained this way is treated as exploiting a bug and will result in disciplinary action.
• Normal finite supplies and resources provided by intended gameplay mechanics are not prohibited by this rule.
