# No weapons
## ❌ No Weapons — Arena PvP (ox\_inventory Integration)
### Preventing Weapon Disappearance Inside Arena
If you are using **ox\_inventory**, you may notice that weapons disappear or get removed when entering Arena PvP.
To fix this issue, you need to make small modifications to the ox\_inventory script so it respects the Arena statebag:
This ensures that inventory logic does **not interfere** while the player is inside Arena.
***
## 🛠 Step 1 — Edit ox\_inventory (client.lua)
1️⃣ Open: **ox\_inventory/client.lua**
***
2️⃣ Locate this line:
```lua
local weaponHash = GetSelectedPedWeapon(playerPed)
```
3️⃣ Just below it, you will find:
```lua
if currentWeapon then
```
Replace it with:
```lua
if currentWeapon and not LocalPlayer.state.inArena then
```
This prevents ox\_inventory from interfering with weapons while the player is inside Arena PvP.
## 🛠 Step 2 — Prevent Weapon Mismatch Removal
Scroll further down and find:
```lua
elseif client.weaponmismatch and not client.ignoreweapons[weaponHash]
```
Replace it with:
```lua
elseif client.weaponmismatch and not client.ignoreweapons[weaponHash] and not LocalPlayer.state.inArena then
```
This ensures weapon mismatch checks are ignored while the player is inside Arena.
## 🛠 Step 3 — Block Inventory Open Inside Arena
To prevent players from opening inventory while inside Arena:
Find this line (near the top of the file):
```lua
if IsPauseMenuActive() then return end
```
Add this directly below it:
```lua
if LocalPlayer.state.inArena then return end
```
## 🧩 Other Cases
If you are **not using ox\_inventory**, you need to:
1. Identify which script manages weapon saving on your server.
2. Add a check using:
```
if LocalPlayer.state.inArena then
return
end
```
Anywhere weapons are:
* Saved
* Restored
* Synced
* Loaded on reconnect
***
## 🔐 Using Anti-Cheat
If your server uses an anti-cheat:
* Contact the anti-cheat developer.
* Inform them that Arena PvP uses `LocalPlayer.state.inArena`.
* Ask them to whitelist weapon changes while the statebag is `true`.
