The arms dealer idea has been floating around in the dev team for a while now however we've had bigger fish to fry so between that and the issues we'd have with detection and categorization of weapons along with balance for cost/supply it's been on our back burner waiting for us to be happy with how things are and with time to take a proper look at it.

Don't get me wrong, I know you have a lot of stuff that has a bigger priority, I was just asking if there were any plans for it. So I guess there is an idea, and that answers my question. I just hope you guys will be able to implement it and that it won't take too much time to do it. Great mod, congrats to all of you guys working on it!

Having the option to not unlock weapons anymore was one step towards a shop system as it would be unbalanced to be able to buy weapons just top unlock them.
We're getting there - step by step.

Can you, please, leave the option to unlock weapons as a selectable option in mission parameters? Because there are some of us that just want to have a little less stressful experience in game. I for one have enough stress in my life, I don't need more stress when playing a video game, because there is an option to lose a weapon that I really like. So perhaps it would be the best to set it as a mission parameter so everyone can choose their cup of tea. And also, if you add the arms dealer, can you also add option to buy vests, helmets and maybe even uniforms? That would be an awesome addition, because it is really really hard to recognise your troops from the enemy if they are all wearing the same vest and helmet.
