Summary
Hi there,
I want to give a Custom weapons bug what I discoverd and its effecting on all Maps who has Custom made weapons.
Custom weapons created with Verse lose their custom behavior when the player moves a certain distance away. After traveling only a few meters (or larger distances depending on setup), the weapon reverts to a default temporary weapon state.
This breaks core gameplay mechanics and makes custom weapons unreliable, especially in large maps.

Steps to Reproduce
1.) Place a custom weapon (created via Verse) in the center of the map
Start the game.
2.) Pick up the custom weapon
Enable flying.
3.) Travel a significant distance away from the original location (e.g. 500–1000 meters)
Expected Result
The custom weapon should:
• Keep all custom properties and behaviors.
• Remain stable regardless of player distance.
• Not require reinitialization or updates.
Observed Result
• The weapon loses its custom behavior
• It reverts to a default/temporary weapon state
• Custom settings are no longer applied
• This happens consistently after traveling certain distances

Additional Notes
High
• Breaks core functionality of custom weapons.
• Makes large maps or open-world experiences unreliable.
• Forces constant manual updates or reinitialization.
--------‐
NOTE:
• The issue seems related to distance-based streaming or replication.
• Possibly caused by the weapon entity being unloaded or not properly synced.
• A fix may require persistent state handling or improved replication for Verse-based weapons
Look the time where it getting updated the weapon. Save devices has the same pattens for the issue.
