In post official a on your forum, Epic Games announced that starting from January 1, 2012 will no longer can download accessories Hb and Lancer for our avatars. This is because, from that date, Microsoft will apply a new policy on Avatar for each item that depicts a firearm will be removed from the Marketplace.

The weapons in fact would violate one of the new rules regarding our virtual alter-ego, or the inability to show violent behaviour and criminal acts. Epic Games has assured that anyone who has purchased items before January 1 will be free to keep them.
