SpyderPB6 10 Posted July 21, 2009 Hello, I am new to the Arma community and trying to learn as much of the game and its modification potential as I can. What is the benefit to using a signed item vs one that is not, or there no such benefit? Thanks, Mike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PBOs can be modified so your weapons are more accurate, or you have less recoil etc. So if you do modify the PBO to do something like less recoil it would no longer match the BISIGN file and the server will kick the client.
