Battlefield 4 Poison arrows vs uncap

[0xd34df00d]

Hi there!

I've been told today poison arrows cannot be shot into uncap (even as returning fire) on Locker. Rules don't mention poison arrows, just explosives, and I remember a couple of months ago somebody from the admins explicitly told me poison arrows are not considered explosives.

On a related note, when I told this, I got a reply from one of the admins, orbs1987, that admins have final say on rules. When I asked if that means that admins can make arbitrary things up as they go, he kicked me in response. So, this brings up two questions:
1. To what extent do admins have final say on rules?
2. Is that a reasonable behaviour?

Kindly thanks.

We do treat poison arrows as explosives. As to you're second question I will let the admin you are asking about or some one else respond.

Thanks for posting.

Hello 0xd34df00d

As far as the weapon itself the Poison Arrow is considered an explosive and gas. Damage from the initial explosion can be 21% down to 1% damage and then 27% damage is from the poison gas. So this weapon is similar to an LVG. Anything that shoots something that has to explode is not allowed fired into uncaps including poison arrows, explosive arrows, rockets, suav, ucav, mortars, airbursts, lvg, launched grenades, launched smoke, claymores, c4, and of course regular grenades. You can use hand smoke as they do not do explosive damage and hand flares as they do not do explosive damage as well. As for the admin part for final say that is usually in play when someone is disrupting the server or getting smart with admins over rules. We cannot write every single weapon that is explosive mentioned above into the rule lines so "No Explosives Into The Uncaps" covers them all. If the admin kicks you then dont get smart or keep questioning them. If you have an issue on why an admin kicked you please contact bf leadership so we can see if the kick was made resonalbly and within our rules

If there is any change to these rules our Division Leader or Community Manager will reply

You were kicked because you chose to berate me in the server when I told you the information was here. At this point, you had questioned almost every rule I posted that players were breaking and it was getting tiresome. The reason I said please see the last rule is simply because of your actions, not necessarily the question at hand.

Regardless, your question has been answered by someone other than me and we can move forward. I sincerely look forward to the next time I see you in the server. Thank you for gaming with us
