Additional Information

Who playtests this??
I will do it for free, because i love the ARMA franchise that much.

I want to see ARMA Reforger and ARMA 4 succeed. It is the best game ever made... but you need better staff / help.
Simple things like this could be easily ironed out during development and fixed before release. You are turning off the new PS5 that you've worked so hard to include...
First impressions matter!!

I think this is a case of unclear or missing instructions from the instructor. As far I have tried it, the mission works. But there is no clear order to return the RPG to the ammo crate you took the extra rockets from. If the player tries to carry the RPG with him from the firing line or just drops the launcher to the ground, the mission will reset when player reaches the shed with explosives since the player did not follow orders. There is a hint window that tells you what to do and the on screen task points to the ammo crate but that's it, the instructor just says to "Ditch the launcher" but does not specify where.

A few moment before that there is another omission. After the first shot with the RPG (at least if you hit the target on the first try) there is no mission progression until you reload the launcher, but again there is no vocal prompt to reload, only the hint window.

There is a bigger bug in the 1.3.0.18 experimental version of this exercise, but that will be another ticket.
