Q: How large is the arsenal going to be?

Q. What types of weapons will be the most common?
A: Depends on the location. The rule of thumb here, however, is that weapons do not appear scattered around the map for no good reason. The easiest way is to buy or barter it with traders.
Q: How does the spawning system work? Is there a chance that oldies will stalk the spawning locations?
A: There is no respawn, you only get one life for the raid. Initial spawn at the raid beginning will be equidistant from other players. Stalking the locations is impossible, as all PMC operators spawn at the same time.

A: Yes.
Q: Can the weapon be destroyed if hit by a bullet?

Q: If the group loses a fighter in the raid, can he rejoin it, or they will have to carry on with irrecoverable casualties? In the latter case, can they pick up his equipment (provided that situation allows it) to return it?
