Attention Arma 3 players on Mac

We will be rolling back the Mac versions of our Reaction Forces and Western Sahara Creator DLCs. The current versions of the CDLCs have had high crash rates due to a mismatch of the base game data, and we believe rolling them back will provide a better experience for our Mac players. However, this means Mac players will not be able to play on multiplayer servers until the latest Mac Port update (2.18) is released. This update is taking longer than expected, but we will get it out as soon as it is ready. You can however still opt into the Mac 2.18 Release Candidate testing branch via access code: Arma3Update218MacRC That RC build contains the latest version of both Creator DLC, but it is not yet ready for full release. We understand this is not ideal, and we apologize for the temporary inconvenience.

This program enables external talent to earn a financial reward for their work, while players get to enjoy more new quality content. For more information, please visit the Arma 3 website.
• Why is Creator DLC optional to install? We have decided to make it optional to have the Creator DLC data installed.

Additionally, a Creator DLC's theme or setting might be very different from regular Arma 3 or not everyone might want it to be visible in their game.
• How do I launch Expeditionary Forces? You will need to visit the DLC section in the Arma 3 Launcher, make sure Expeditionary Forces is owned and loaded, then launch the game by clicking the PLAY button.
• Can I still play together with people who do not own the DLC in multiplayer? To enable non-owners to still play on multiplayer servers that make use of Expeditionary Forces content, Tiny Gecko Studios has published a "compatibility data for non-owners" via the Steam Workshop.

Publisher Bohemia Interactive and third-party developer Tiny Gecko Studios are excited to announce Arma 3 Creator DLC: Expeditionary Forces. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2647830/Arma_3_Creator_DLC_Expeditionary_Forces Explore new warfare capabilities in Arma 3 with the upcoming Expeditionary Forces Creator DLC. Prepare your Marines for action on the Amphibious Warfare Ship, assault enemy shores with AAV-9 Mack IFVs and Combat Boats, bring supplies ashore with the LCC-1 Landing Craft, perform raids behind enemy lines with new Hunter reconnaissance vehicles, and take part in the invasion of Altis from a new perspective.
Key Features:

• AAV-9 Mack - The AAV-9 Mack is an amphibious Infantry Fighting Vehicle capable of ferrying a squad of 13 Marines from ship to shore at high speed. It is equipped with either a 30mm or 50mm autocannon and a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun. It features an extendable periscope for the commander and hatches in the back to allow troops to turn out and return fire.
• Combat Boat - The Combat Boat is a 17 meter long multi-role vessel. Its high speed, combined with a versatile design, makes it suitable for amphibious assaults, maritime patrol, and fire support. It can carry a squad of 16 troops plus crew, and can be fitted with a variety of weapons.
• LCC-1 Landing Craft - The LCC-1 is a landing craft used to ferry equipment and vehicles from ship to shore. Its design allows it to change between a slow-speed shallow draft ship and a high-speed catamaran. It has a maximum payload of 200 tons and is capable of reaching speeds up to 35 knots (or 65 kph).
• Amphibious Warfare Ship USS Takmyr (LPD-36) - The Amphibious Warfare Ship is the core of Marine Expeditionary Units. Acting as a floating barracks, it allows MJTFs to deploy all the assets required to sustain operations abroad. Named after the Takistani capital following one of Operation Arrowheads fiercest battles, the LPD-36 USS Takmyr is the ship assigned to carry the 29th MEU to Altis and execute Operation Resolute Cyclone. Its design features a flight deck with hangar for launching helicopters, and a well deck to launch landing crafts or amphibious assault vehicles.
• One New Faction - The Marine Joint Task Force has arrived. It is a self-contained expeditionary unit capable of operating independently from amphibious warfare ships and specialized in fighting in littoral areas. It comes with a variety of new equipment, including helmets, vests, uniforms, night vision devices, and scuba diving gear.
• Hunter Reconnaissance Vehicles - Taking advantage of the capable MRAP chassis, the Hunter Reconnaissance Vehicles greatly expand on their firepower and sensors. Three new variants are available: Fire Support Vehicle (featuring a 30mm rapid-fire autocannon and Titan missiles), Anti-Tank (featuring a dual Titan-NLOS launcher and 7.62mm coaxial machine gun), and Low Altitude Air Defense (featuring a 30mm rapid fire autocannon, SAAMI missiles, and short-range radar for drone detection).
• AH-99J Python - At the request of the Marines, an upgrade for the AH-99 was developed in the late 2010s. Named AH-99J Python, the helicopter trades some of its stealth capabilities for long-range datalink antennas, more powerful radar, and external stores allowing it to carry a wider array of weapons, including AGM-122M Sidearm anti-radiation missiles and Titan NLOS pods.
• Resolute Cyclone SP Mini-Campaign - On the eve of the NATO invasion on Altis, Marines from the 29th MEU are tasked with securing the western part of the island. Join the MJTF in this single player mini-campaign, use stealth to infiltrate enemy territory, cut the enemy off from reinforcements, and liberate Kavala from the AAF.
• Rope In Hand MP CO-OP - A platoon from Light Armor Reconnaissance is tasked with clearing the road for the Marines who are rapidly advancing towards Athira. Hop in a Hunter FSV or Hunter AT with your friends in this multiplayer co-op scenario and strike deep into enemy territory.

New Features:

• Airburst Munitions: The Hunter LAAD's autocannon is loaded with Airburst munitions which, when combined with radar targeting information, can easily destroy fast aircraft or small drones with just a few shots.
• Enhanced Drone Detection: The Hunter LAAD features radar that trades detection range for higher sensitivity, enabling it to even detect small quadcopter drones up to a distance of 4 kms.
• Titan NLOS: Long-range anti-tank missile that requires a datalink to gather targeting information, and can engage both laser and vehicle targets. Using ground following radar, it can fly past terrain obstacles and engage targets with no line of sight at launch up to 32 kms away.
• AGM-122M Sidearm: The AGM-122M Sidearm was developed as a cheap alternative to more expensive and sophisticated AGM-88C HARM anti-radiation missiles. Converted from stocks of Falchion-22 short range air-to-air missiles, the Sidearm takes advantage of already existing mounts to give most western-made aircraft basic SEAD/DEAD capabilities.

Arma 3 Creator DLC: Expeditionary Forces is scheduled for release soon and will be priced at $7.99 USD (7.99 EUR / 6.99 GBP). To be notified of the release of Expeditionary Forces, you can add the CDLC to your Steam wishlist via the store page.
In addition, on the day of the full release of the CDLC, Tiny Gecko Studios will publish a compatibility data pack for non-owners to the Arma 3 Steam Workshop. Subscribing to this Workshop item will allow those who do not own Expeditionary Forces to still play on multiplayer servers that use the assets from the CDLC. Restrictions on in-game use of CDLC assets by non-owners also apply. More information can be found on the Community Wiki.
Creator DLC is a label for original Arma 3 projects made by third-party developers and published by Bohemia Interactive. This program enables external talent to earn a financial reward for their work, while players get to enjoy more new quality content.

Our friends from the DayZ Team are set to embrace fire and ice with their upcoming DayZ Frostline Expansion! Get ready to embark on an adventure in a brand new location: the Sakhal archipelago. This expansion introduces a whole new survival challenges, spread over 83km of volcanic land, icy seas, and treacherous terrains. You can add Frostline to your Steam wishlist! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2968040/DayZ_Frostline/
The centerpiece of the expansion is the Sakhal terrain, inviting you to explore its rugged and desolate reaches. Unlike previous locations, you'll play as a survivor seeking refuge in the rumored safe haven of Sakhal, only to face an unforgiving environment frozen both in time and climate. Despite its brutality, Sakhal promises beauty at every perilous turn, with frozen lakes, snow-draped forests, and frosty peaks.
The proximity to volcanic regions amplifies the hazards, doubling the threats you'll face. Although the terrain may be more compact compared to previous ones, each new challenge in the expansion will deliberately decelerate your progress, compelling you to recalibrate your playstyles.
To survive, you'll need to adapt like the new region-specific wildlife species acclimated to the cold, equipping winter-themed cosmetics to brave the elements and uncover Sakhal's intriguing structures and points of interest. Preparation is key to survival, and as the frost sets in, only those with ice in their veins and fire in their hearts will endure. DayZ Frostline heralds a chilling new chapter in the ultimate fight for survival.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Arma 3 Creator DLC? Creator DLC is a label for original Arma 3 projects made by third-party developers and published by Bohemia Interactive. This program enables external talent to earn a financial reward for their work, while players get to enjoy more new quality content. For more information, please visit the Arma 3 website.
• Why is Creator DLC optional to install? We have decided to make it optional to have the Creator DLC data installed. This is mainly to avoid regular Arma 3 installations from requiring a lot more additional hard-drive storage, even for those who have not purchased Creator DLC. The second reason is that a Creator DLC's theme or setting might be very different from regular Arma 3 and not everyone might want it to be visible in their game.
• How do I launch Reaction Forces? You will need to visit the DLC section in the Arma 3 Launcher, make sure Reaction Forces is owned and loaded, then launch the game by clicking the PLAY button.
• Can I still play together with people who do not own the CDLC in multiplayer? To enable non-owners to still play on multiplayer servers that make use of Reaction Forces content, Rotators Collective has published a "compatibility data for non-owners" via the Steam Workshop. Restrictions on in-game use of CDLC assets by non-owners will apply. More information can be found on the Community Wiki.

On Veterans Day (Nov. 11th), we will be creating a collage of the screenshots submitted. The top submissions will receive prizes, as well a special place in our Arma 3 Lars Blanken Gallery (from the Art of War Charity Pack).

You can depict members of your own country of choice you will just need to feature the special event logo. Obviously, images containing ripped mod or IP-infringing content will not be accepted, and images must be respectful and appropriate to the context and spirit of Veterans Day. We look forward to your submissions! If you'd like to share your screenshot elsewhere, do be sure to tag it with #Players4Veterans! BI Forum thread for submissions

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Arma 3 Creator DLC? Creator DLC is a label for original Arma 3 projects made by third-party developers and published by Bohemia Interactive. This program enables external talent to earn a financial reward for their work, while players get to enjoy more new quality content. For more information, please visit the Arma 3 website.
• Why is Creator DLC optional to install? We have decided to make it optional to have the Creator DLC data installed. This is mainly to avoid regular Arma 3 installations from requiring a lot more additional hard-drive storage, even for those who have not purchased a Creator DLC. Additionally, a Creator DLC's theme or setting might be very different from regular Arma 3 or not everyone might want it to be visible in their game.
• How do I launch Spearhead 1944? You will need to visit the DLC section in the Arma 3 Launcher, make sure Spearhead 1944 is owned and loaded, then launch the game by clicking the PLAY button.
• Can I still play together with people who do not own the DLC in multiplayer? To enable non-owners to still play on multiplayer servers that make use of Spearhead 1944 content, Heavy Ordnance Works has published a "compatibility data for non-owners" via the Steam Workshop. Be aware that access to the DLC's premium Normandy terrain, campaign, and singleplayer scenarios remain exclusive to owners of the DLC. Restrictions to the use of non-owned content also apply.

Publisher Bohemia Interactive and third-party developer Heavy Ordnance Works are thrilled to announce a major new Arma 3 Creator DLC: Spearhead 1944. [previewyoutube=syxwHjFqbhs;full][/previewyoutube] https://store.steampowered.com/app/1175380 In this new Creator DLC, you will be a part of the US First Armys advance as they attempt to break through the German lines. Take advantage of an array of US weaponry and equipment and traverse the fields and bocage of an all new Normandy terrain. Spearhead 1944 will offer a seven mission multiplayer co-op campaign, several official scenarios and game modes, and even more content creation opportunities with the Arma 3 scenario editor. Players will be introduced to the lesser known Operation Cobra - taking place 7 weeks after D-Day, with the US First Army attempting to break through the German lines around Saint-L. The Creator DLC will deliver an immersive and historic military sandbox experience on a scale not seen before in Arma 3.
Key features of the Spearhead 1944 Creator DLC include:

• Normandy Terrain - Explore 150 km of unique terrain, based on real locations and topography of North-West France. An immersive environment to play the campaign and run missions. The terrain features flowing rivers, an airstrip, the destroyed city of Saint-L, wooded areas, fields with traditional French bocages and much more. Featuring new and unique buildings, ruins, objects and plants as well as dug in positions and light fortifications. Over 400 street signs aid players in navigating the vast road network. Explore the overgrown, well defended landscape of Normandy, where every field is another potential bloody battle.
• 5 Playable Factions and Civilians - Featuring elements of the US Army, Free French, and German Forces equipped with their own uniforms and gear.
• 50+ Weapons and Grenades - Engage the enemy with detailed recreations of 1944 weaponry and a diverse arsenal of grenades and explosives.
• 40+ Vehicles & Static Weapons - Wage war in a range of transports and armored vehicles, such as the M18 Hellcat, M10 Wolverine, and Tiger I. You'll also be supported by a number of static weapons including trench variants, searchlight, and mortars.
• Uniforms and Other Gear - Equip yourself with more than 200 uniform variants, 60+ vest variants, 70+ backpack variants, and 150+ headgear variants alongside a bunch of accessories.
• Multiplayer Co-op Campaign - Seven co-op missions, fully voiced and highly replayable for up to 24 players, inspired by the real events of Operation Cobra, revealing the significance to liberated Europe and covering key milestones such as the liberation of Saint Gilles and the defense of Saint Denis-le-Gast
• 6 Multiplayer Scenarios - Play six new scenarios in Arma 3's official Combat Patrol, Escape, Warlords and Zeus game modes with various upgrades, additions, faction selection and automatic support for WW2 mods.
• Singleplayer/Co-op Scenario: Der Zahnarzt - Members of the French Resistance were ordered by the SOE to eliminate Standartenfhrer Konrad Dentist Hoffmann at the occupied Chteau near Marigny.
• US Faction Showcase - Become familiar with the Allied arsenal and help push through Normandy during Operation Cobra.
• German Faction Showcase - Build defenses and assist the retreating forces.
• Sounds & Effects - Experience immersive audio designed to accurately reproduce the sounds of a World War 2 battlefield: Incoming projectiles, shell ricochets and interior hit sounds, plane fly-by sounds, bullet cracks, explosions, call-in radio requests and the desperation of surrendering soldiers, cries of the wounded and the dying.
• Music - A custom and atmospheric soundtrack, specifically selected to transport you to 1944.
• Additional Content - Custom systems to increase immersion (i.e. ambient war sounds, illumination flares, ordnance and artillery barrage, custom HUD for vehicles), to expand gameplay and tactical options (i.e. enhanced revive, indirect fire support, surrendering, bolt action rifles, extended reload animations, bayonets, open bolt hipfire, wall avoidance, realistic tank penetration, deflection and destruction), AI behavior (i.e. revive for AI, targeting and weapons management in tanks by AI a gunner/commander, custom difficulty adjustment system) and more.

The Arma 3 Creator DLC: Spearhead 1944 is scheduled for release later this year and will be priced at $17.99 USD (17.99EUR / 14.99 GBP). The precise release date will be shared at a later time. To be notified of Spearhead 1944's release, you can also add the CDLC to your Steam wishlist via the store page. More information about the project can also be found at www.spearhead-1944.com. Heavy Ordnance Work plans to share more development insights via their social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
In addition, on the day of the full release of the CDLC, Heavy Ordnance Works will publish a compatibility data pack for non-owners to the Arma 3 Steam Workshop. Subscribing to this Workshop item will allow those who do not own Spearhead 1944 to still play on multiplayer servers that use the assets from the CDLC. It will also allow people to view the new Normandy terrain in Eden Editor in camera mode and inspect the assets in the Arsenal in-game before purchasing. However, playing on the CDLC's premium Normandy terrain and access to the campaign and mission scenarios will remain exclusive to the owners of the Spearhead 1944 CDLC. Restrictions on in-game use of CDLC assets by non-owners also apply. More information can be found on the Community Wiki.

FROM: High Command TO: Arma 3 Users INFO: 9th Anniversary, Live Ops Status PRECEDENCE: Flash
SITUATION Wow, another year has flown by since we last provided an official status update on Arma 3's Live Ops development. And that also means we're celebrating the game's 9th anniversary this month. 9 years since the release of 1.0 "Gamma", let that sink in! Even more special is the fact that a lot of new players are still joining the ranks. Welcome to you all! We hope you enjoy the vast amount of content available to you, official and from the community alike. You may not know this, but we used to publish these blogs every single week during prime-time development. Things have slowed down, as we've discussed in our preview reports, but the platform is still supported by a small crew. There have continued to be platform updates and many experimental branch releases. And the Creator DLC program is still seeing plenty of activity too. In the broader Armaverse, much has happened of course. The Enfusion era of Arma was started with the early access release of Arma Reforger. Many of Bohemia's developers are working on those projects now, working very hard to stabilize and expand that young platform. In this report we will try to provide a status update on how Arma 3's development was influenced, if at all. Read on and see you in-game! Full SITREP

It's time to return to the mid-Atlantic island of Everon a 52km microstate, which many of you will remember from Arma: Cold War Assault. This iconic terrain has been reimagined and faithfully restored, undoubtedly becoming our most photorealistic and beautiful environment to date. Thanks to new possibilities, made available through our next-gen Enfusion engine, we have recreated the jewel of the Malden Islands for a 1989 setting. So gear-up, set out, and explore! Take in the many sights and vistas. The glittering ocean bays, lakes, and rivers. The forests, hills and pastures, animated by the shadows of rolling clouds. There is so much to discover! But what's an Arma game without conflict? Arma Reforger's Conflict game mode returns players to war. Join US or Soviet forces in a dynamic, multiplayer, team versus team scenario. Build support structures and defenses, oversee logistics, and capture key objectives by working together. To survive and overcome the enemy, you'll also have to rely on your wits and fieldcraft. Make no mistake, your map and compass will be every bit as important as the rifle in your hands. [previewyoutube=AIervYhiEZ8;full][/previewyoutube] In addition to this, Arma Reforger's playable content is supported with a real-time mission editor; Game Master. In this titular role, players can curate events, set tasks, and dynamically respond to other players on the battlefield, setting down challenges, compositions, and more. No combat encounter will be the same and if you're one of those in the midst of the action, you'll have to think fast to stay alive. Last but not least, for our talented modding community, there's a lot of new tools available. In fact, we're sharing the very same technology used to make Arma Reforger giving you an enormous amount of creative freedom. All these programs are collected on one site known as Workbench. Although only accessible to PC users, addons can be published on Arma Reforger's exclusive mod repository, the Workshop, for everyone, including console players, to enjoy! And remember, all of this is just the beginning of the evolution of the Arma franchise. That being said, Arma 3 is and still will be supported from events featuring community content to community live streams and more. For more information on Arma Reforger, or if you have any questions, please visit our FAQ page page. If you want to download Workbench, check our DEV HUB.

Dear community, On March 2nd, we released a Charity Bundle featuring Arma 3 and Laws of War DLC. This DLC was chosen as a reminder to adhere to the rules of war through the introduction of the principles of International Humanitarian Law (IHL). This includes the prevention of threats to civilian lives and infrastructure and the protection of humanitarian actions. The Charity Bundle was initially scheduled to be available for two weeks. However, after those two weeks, we decided to extend the fundraiser period by another week, until the 23rd of March, so we could help more. In three weeks, with the help and support of our community, we managed to raise an incredible $38,612 through the Charity Bundle. All of the net revenue will be sent to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) for the support of people affected by the war in Ukraine. If you were unable to buy the bundle in time, and would still like to offer support, you can donate directly at https://www.icrc.org/en/donate/ukraine. We would like to thank our community and everyone who bought the Charity Bundle! We greatly appreciate your support and hope the war will have a peaceful resolution soon.

Great news! Thanks to your support, weve been able to raise a significant amount of money for a good cause.
To be precise, Bohemia Interactive will donate 100% of their revenue after tax from the Arma 3 Art of War charity DLC to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The total amount raised is $155,783 USD (approximately 138,330 EUR / 116,944 GBP). Now that the fundraising period is over, the Art of War Charity Pack has been permanently made available for free to all Arma 3 players, just as it was announced when the DLC was released in February of this year. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1325500/Arma_3_Art_of_War_Charity_Pack/ The Art of War Charity Pack adds an in-game art exhibition to Arma 3, where visitors can see some of the best artwork and screenshots made by the Arma 3 community. The DLC also includes a new singleplayer combat scenario in which players are sent on a mission to recover valuable paintings stolen in a war zone. Other additions are a formal suit, parade uniform, new backpack, various t-shirts, and several props related to art galleries and memorials. https://youtu.be/mjz6K5vypmk Arma 3 Art of War was available for purchase on Steam for approximately 9 months. You could get the DLC for the standard price of 1.99 USD/EUR/GBP, or, those who wanted to donate more could buy it at the optional higher price tiers of 4.99 USD/EUR/GBP and 9.99 USD/EUR/GBP. All three purchase options included the same content. In the end, about 84.4% of people bought it at the standard price tier of 1.99 USD, 5.4% got it at the middle price tier of 4.99 USD, and 10.2% purchased the highest 9.99 USD price tier. "We are very grateful to Bohemia Interactive and to all the players who made a donation to the ICRC.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Arma 3 Creator DLC? Creator DLC is a label for original Arma 3 projects made by third-party developers and published by Bohemia Interactive. This program enables external talent to earn a financial reward for their work, while players get to enjoy more new quality content. For more information, please visit the Arma 3 website.
• Why is Creator DLC optional to install? We have decided to make it optional to have the Creator DLC data installed. This is mainly to avoid regular Arma 3 installations from requiring a lot more additional hard-drive storage, even for those who have not purchased a Creator DLC. Additionally, a Creator DLC's theme or setting might be very different from regular Arma 3 or not everyone might want it to be visible in their game.
• How do I launch Western Sahara? You will need to visit the DLC section in the Arma 3 Launcher, make sure Western Sahara is owned and loaded, then launch the game by clicking the PLAY button.
• Can I still play together with people who do not own the DLC in multiplayer? To enable non-owners to still play on multiplayer servers that make use of Western Sahara content, Rotators Collective has published a "compatibility data for non-owners" via the Steam Workshop. Be aware that access to the DLC's premium Sefrou-Ramal terrain and scenarios remain exclusive to owners of the DLC. Restrictions to the use of non-owned content also apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Arma 3 Creator DLC? Creator DLC is a label for original Arma 3 projects made by third-party developers and published by Bohemia Interactive. This program enables external talent to earn a financial reward for their work, while players get to enjoy more new quality content. For more information, please visit the Arma 3 website.
• Why is Creator DLC optional to install? We have decided to make it optional to have the Creator DLC data installed. This is mainly to avoid regular Arma 3 installations from requiring a lot more additional hard-drive storage, even for those who have not purchased Creator DLC. The second reason is that a Creator DLC's theme or setting might be very different from regular Arma 3 and not everyone might want it to be visible in their game.
• How do I launch S.O.G. Prairie Fire? You will need to visit the DLC section in the Arma 3 Launcher, make sure S.O.G. Prairie Fire is owned and loaded, then launch the game by clicking the PLAY button.
• Can I still play together with people who do not own the DLC in multiplayer? To enable non-owners to still play on multiplayer servers that make use of S.O.G. Prairie Fire content, Savage Game Design has published a "compatibility data for non-owners" via the Steam Workshop. Be aware that access to the DLC's premium Cam Lao Nam terrain, campaign, and singleplayer scenarios remain exclusive to owners of the DLC. Restrictions to the use of non-owned content also apply.
• What does "S.O.G." in S.O.G. Prairie Fire stand for? The name S.O.G. Prairie Fire refers to the "Military Assistance Command, Vietnam Studies and Observations Group" (MACV-SOG), which was a United States Special Forces unit established in 1964 to conduct covert operations in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. This task force plays a central role in the DLC's multiplayer co-op campaign. Savage Game Design has been closely collaborating with US Special Forces veterans who served in MACV-SOG until it was deactivated in 1972, as well as with Vietnamese advisors.

To portray the soldiers' experiences in a more accurate manner, Savage Game Design has been closely collaborating with US Special Forces veterans who served in MACV-SOG until it was deactivated in 1972, as well as Vietnamese advisors.
Key features of the S.O.G. Prairie Fire Creator DLC include:

Creator DLC is a label for original Arma 3 projects made by third-party developers and published by Bohemia Interactive. This program enables external talent to earn a financial reward for their work, while Arma 3 players get to enjoy more new quality content. The first Creator DLC, Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany, was released in April 2019 and has managed to achieve over 130,000 sales since then. Bohemia Interactive expects to publish more Creator DLC projects in 2021, starting with the release of S.O.G. Prairie Fire in the second quarter of this year. To ensure an optimal launch of the S.O.G. Prairie Fire DLC, Bohemia Interactive and Savage Game Design will host a small-scale, closed beta test in the next two weeks. Selected members of the Arma 3 community will be invited to report any remaining technical issues and help test the upcoming DLC on a variety of PC configurations.
Furthermore, on the day of the DLC's full release, Savage Game Design will publish a compatibility data pack for non-owners to the Arma 3 Steam Workshop. Subscribing to this Workshop item will allow those who do not own S.O.G. Prairie Fire to still play on multiplayer servers that make use of the DLC's assets. It will also let people inspect the new assets in-game before purchasing. Access to the DLC's premium Cam Lao Nam terrain, campaign, and singleplayer scenarios, however, will remain exclusive to the owners of the S.O.G. Prairie Fire DLC. Restrictions to the in-game use of DLC assets by non-owners also apply.
The exact release date of the Arma 3 Creator DLC: S.O.G. Prairie Fire will be shared at a later time. More information about the project can also be found at https://www.sogpf.com. Savage Game Design plans to share more development insights via their social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

FROM: High Command TO: Arma 3 Users INFO: Art of War DLC / Creator DLC Updates, Live Ops Status PRECEDENCE: Flash
SITUATION We are rapidly reaching the end of a mad year, and so we feel this is a good time to inspect the current state of Arma 3 development. Offering a distraction from the frequently grim reality around us, gaming has certainly seen a massive boost this year. Arma 3 is no exception. We are constantly humbled to see how many of you continue to play, and to welcome the hundreds of thousands of new recruits. The game is meanwhile in a Live Ops mode, rather than active development. Even so, this year saw two primary platform updates with 1.98 Old Man and more recently 2.00, on which we'll reflect a bit in this report. And we'll be looking ahead, providing updates on what's still to come: Art of War charity DLC, Creator DLC, and more platform support. We suspect to be seeing plenty of comments asking about the future of the Arma series, but we hope there are still many of you interested to learn about Arma 3's extended tour of duty. Thank you for the splendid support and stay safe out there! o7 Full SITREP

Seven years after the official release of version 1.00 and dozens of updates later, we've now gradually reached Arma 3 version 2.00 (watch trailer). This latest update adds a free new firing drill, as well as a new color edition of an existing firearm, a camo variant for selected gear, extra Steam achievements, and the option to share compositions made in Arma 3s scenario editor via the Steam Workshop. https://youtu.be/ElxZ8ePBLPs The new firing drill (Course of Fire: Gray) invites you to set a record time on a challenging course hosted by a familiar operative from Arma 3's story campaigns. A gold medal is awarded to those who can complete the drill in under two minutes (2:00). Players running the course might encounter various surprises related to previous versions of Arma 3 if they know where to look and what to do.
Players can now share custom compositions from the game directly to the Steam Workshop. They can do so by accessing Arma 3s extensive library of weapons, vehicles, equipment, characters, structures, and props available and arranging their in-game assets in the editor. When theyre done, all they need to do is save their selected assets as a custom composition and click on the appropriate icon to publish it to the Steam Workshop. Compositions can include anything from full-blown military camps to specific roadblocks or checkpoints, a Halloween pumpkin festival, a simple table and chairs, or anything in between. By sharing their unique compositions via the Steam Workshop, Arma 3 content creators can help each other build expansive, detailed, and atmospheric scenarios quickly and easily. Further documentation can be found on Bohemia Interactive's Community Wiki.
But wait, theres more! The 2.00 update also includes a new arid variant of existing CTRG special forces gear (stealth uniform and combat helmet - available for owners of the Arma 3 Apex expansion) and a black variant for the P07 pistol - both of which are used in the new firing drill. Players can also unlock three new '2.00' themed Steam achievements. And finally, everyone receives a lifetimes virtual supply of "Arma" Eau de Combat, which is now available as an in-game glass perfume bottle prop.
The complete changelog for update 2.00 can be found on the Arma 3 website. If you have yet to pick up the game, or simply wish to complete your DLC collection, you can get the Arma 3 base game and all of its downloadable content (DLC) at up to 75% off on Steam. Those who purchase the Arma 3 Ultimate Edition, Apex Edition, Contact Edition, or DLC Essentials will receive an additional bundle discount on top. This special offer is available from today up until Monday October 19 (starting and ending at 10:00 PDT/19:00 CEST). https://store.steampowered.com/app/107410/Arma_3/ To keep track of all the latest news, be sure to follow Arma 3 on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Steam.

Together with third-party developer CSLA Studio, we're excited to announce the upcoming release of Arma 3's second Creator DLC: CSLA Iron Curtain. Scheduled for release later this year, the CSLA Iron Curtain downloadable content pack will take players back to an alternate version of the Cold War in 1980s Czechoslovakia. The store page for the upcoming DLC is already live on Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1294440/
CSLA (or SLA) stands for "eskoslovensk lidov armda" in Czech and "eskoslovensk udov armda" in Slovak, which refers to the Czechoslovak People's Army. These were the armed forces of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic from 1954 until 1990. With both Bohemia Interactive and the CSLA Studio developers coming from the Czech Republic, this particular Creator DLC stays very close to home by exploring the country's contemporary history and taking a look at what life in Czechoslovakia and its heavily-guarded border with West Germany during the 1980s could have been like.
The Arma 3 Creator DLC: CSLA Iron Curtain will include:

• Original 256 km2 "Gabreta" landlocked terrain, with deep forests, windy mountains, and calm valleys
• Cold War-era armed forces of the United States and Czechoslovakia, as well as local rebel fighters
• Ground and air vehicles
• Weapons and gear
• Singleplayer and multiplayer scenarios

Creator DLC is a label for original new Arma 3 projects made by third-party developers and published by Bohemia Interactive. It enables external talent to earn a financial reward for their work, while players get to enjoy more new quality content. The first Creator DLC, Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany, has managed to achieve over 50,000 sales since its launch in April 2019. More Creator DLC projects besides Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany and CSLA Iron Curtain are currently in development.
In response to community feedback on the initial release of the first Arma 3 Creator DLC, Bohemia Interactive in close co-operation with CSLA Studio have decided to host a small-scale, closed beta test in the coming weeks ahead of CSLA Iron Curtain's planned full release. Starting today, selected members of the Arma 3 community will be invited to help report on any remaining technical issues as well as take the upcoming DLC for a test drive on a wider variety of PC systems.
Furthermore, as soon as the CSLA Iron Curtain DLC releases, Bohemia Interactive and CSLA Studio plan to make compatibility data for non-owners of the DLC available via the Arma 3 Steam Workshop similar to how this is now also done for the Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany Creator DLC. This solution enables people who own the Creator DLC and those who do not to still play together on multiplayer servers that make use of the Creator DLC's assets. Access to DLC terrains and singleplayer content will remain exclusive to the owners of the DLC, and restrictions to the in-game use of DLC assets by non-owners apply.
The release date and pricing of the Arma 3 Creator DLC: CSLA Iron Curtain will be shared at a later time. For more information about Arma 3 Creator DLC, please visit https://arma3.com/dlc/creator. Srden pozdravy!

Bohemia Interactive is hosting a sale on Steam for Arma 3 between May 28th and June 1st (10 AM PDT / 7 PM CEST). Additionally, we're celebrating the six-year anniversary of Arma 3's first premium DLC - Arma 3 Karts - by making it available for free for the duration of the sale. You can simply add the DLC to your Steam library via its store page and it will be yours forever. https://store.steampowered.com/app/288520/Arma_3_Karts/ The Arma 3 Karts DLC a small but fun sidestep in our typically military sandbox adds a 20hp 4-stroke engine go-kart, 5 Time Trials races, plus various assets related to karting, such as a race driver character, a motorsport marshal and starter pistol, and various plastic barriers to build your own race tracks in Arma 3's scenario editor. https://youtu.be/cSAJdRpqltM Starting its life as an April Fools' joke, Arma 3 Karts is Arma 3's first premium downloadable content (DLC). It was released six years ago in 2014 on the 29th of May, and served as a pilot test of Arma 3's DLC 'content-licensing' technology a new system designed to prevent a split in our game's multiplayer community between DLC owners and non-owners. After Arma 3 Karts' first million of Czech koruna in proceeds was donated to charity, it maintained its popularity and went on to become the best-selling Arma 3 DLC to date. Besides the Karts DLC giveaway, these are all deals on offer between May 28th and June 1st: https://store.steampowered.com/app/107410/Arma_3/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/395180/Arma_3_Apex/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/798390/Arma_3_Tanks/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/744950/Arma_3_TacOps_Mission_Pack/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/571710/Arma_3_Laws_of_War/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/332350/Arma_3_Marksmen/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/304380/Arma_3_Helicopters/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1021790/Arma_3_Contact/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1042220/Arma_3_Creator_DLC_Global_Mobilization__Cold_War_Germany/ Moreover, you can enjoy additional bundle discounts on top of these product discounts if you pick up one of the following Arma 3 bundles (complete-your-collection) on Steam:

Grab your art supplies, tablet, or mouse we've just announced the Arma 3 Art of War contest and are calling on you to get creative! By taking part, you'll be helping to develop the "Arma 3 Art of War" charity DLC. This small but meaningful DLC will consist of the contest's winning entries, plus two singleplayer scenarios developed by Bohemia that will make use of the new assets. It is scheduled for release on Steam in Q4 2020 at an expected price of 2.99 USD / EUR / GBP. 100% of Bohemia's proceeds after tax from this DLC will be donated to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) for their response to the COVID-19 pandemic and continued efforts in protecting the lives and dignity of those affected by armed conflict. After approximately 10 months of sales/fundraising, the charity DLC then becomes permanently free for all of you to enjoy. https://youtu.be/dhMfUciqSNk As for the contest, it is open in 4 different categories; props, character accessories, character clothing plus a special 2D artwork category in any medium on the theme of International Humanitarian Law in future conflict. If you're interested, you can learn about the challenges that new technologies present for organisations such as the ICRC here, on their website. Or if you'd rather, you can wait for our addition to the DLC's playable content, where contest entries will be lovingly showcased and the topic explored as part of a virtual exhibition, hosted by Arma 3's very own fictional NGO, the International Development & Aid Project (IDAP). In addition, we'll also be adding a short singleplayer scenario, featuring the winning entries from the 3D asset contest categories.
Besides supporting a charitable cause, there are also a few other incentives for entering the contest, including splendid prizes. 1st place winners will have their choice of a Wacom Intuos S drawing tablet or a collection of professional Derwent art sets, plus a copy of the sumptuously illustrated book, "Art and War", a limited edition Arma 3 silver medal, a back-catalog of all our games, and an Art of War T-shirt. Runners-up will also receive a medal, our games, and the T-shirt, as well as the book with a fine collection of sketching pencils for 2nd place winners, and a handy sketching wallet for drawing on the go for 3rd. Last but not least, there's also the prestige of getting your name in Arma 3's credits and the fun of seeing your own work in-game as official content a great addition for any portfolio! If you'd like more information about the Arma 3 Art of War contest and DLC, be sure to check out the web page here. If you want to enter, please read through the Contest Rules, see what's available from the Contest Resources, and fill out the Submission Form in full. The closing date for all submissions is July 15th 2020, 12am CET (GMT +1). Good luck to all of you looking to enlist!

UNIT: Vertexmacht TO: Arma 3 Users OPSUM: Global Mobilization: WIP #02
EVALUATION:
Hello Arma 3 community! It has been exactly one year since Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany was released. Early on we made it clear that we are dedicated to continuing our post-release support by adding more content in free, follow-up updates. To make good on this promise, last years 1.1 update saw the addition of more armored assets and the introduction of the Polish Army faction. In this blog today we want to give you an outlook on the upcoming 1.2 update and highlight the new aerial units that we will be releasing as part of Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany.

West Germany

PAH-1 West Germany will receive the PAH-1 Anti-Tank Helicopter. This was the only AT-Helicopter in the world (at the time) that could complete a full looping. Highly agile and extremely speedy, it provides the West German Army with specialist ninjas in the sky that will stop enemy tank formations. Using extremely powerful HOT-1 missiles, it can do so from up to 6 kilometers away. The unarmed VBH-1 variant is deployed for scouting and transport.

CH-53G The CH-53G is here to do all the heavy lifting of equipment and troops. It can carry multiple squads of infantry and load light vehicles using Vehicle-In-Vehicle technology. Bigger vehicles can be slingloaded to make battles even more dynamic and exceedingly mobile.
Do 28 D-2 Further expanded will be the capability of air-lifting troops with the introduction of the Luftwaffes Do 28 D-2. This is a STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) capable airframe that handles paratrooper and medevac operations. It needs only a very short runway (or highway) to take off and, in a pinch, a dusty road will also suffice. Parachutists using the T-10 Static Parachute will be able to drop anywhere from this workhorse.

East Germany

Mi-2 East Germany will receive their first Attack Helicopter: the Mi-2. Produced by their Polish neighbors, it was introduced to further the nations aviation with a focus on ground support. Small and versatile, this aircraft is used by the Luftstreitkrfte (Air Force) as both transport and attack helicopter. The latter comes equipped with either a quadruple PKT mount or unguided rockets, plus a fixed 23mm autocannon.
L-410 UVP The L-410 UVP is a STOL aircraft built in Czechoslovakia and used by the East German Air Force as transport for parachutists and cargo. A saloon variant of this aircraft is dedicated to transporting high ranking generals and the political elite. East German Parachutists will deploy from this aircraft using their RS-9 static parachute.

Poland

Mi-2 Variants The Polish forces receive a near-endless influx of Mi-2 variants. This ranges from passenger transport with a door gunner (Mi-2T) to an armed-to-the-teeth Mi-2URP-G. This particular variant carries a 23mm fixed autocannon, four anti-tank missiles, and four anti-air missile launchers. You can customize the loadout entirely and mix and match as desired.
But Poland deploys even more exotic variants of the Mi-2: For example, the Mi-2 Platan. A mine-layer device was fitted into the rear door that allows for quickly building minefields using PNM-114 Anti-Tank mines. Also, there is the Mi-2Ch: This is a variant equipped for chemical reconnaissance and fitted with a device to generate smoke screens.

Civilian Aviation

A lot of the aircraft fielded by the military have found their way into civilian use over the years. The VBH-1 will be available as police scout and emergency air-rescue, and the Mi-2 comes as an agricultural crop duster, transport, air-rescue, and law enforcement version.

As with the previous patches, this update too will find its way to the CDLC RC Branch first for public testing. There is still a bit of work left for us to complete, but we are aiming for this to happen in the following weeks so that it may reach you this summer. As always we are looking forward to your feedback and suggestions during that time. Signed, The Global Mobilization Development Team

La mission est sacre, tu lexcutes jusquau bout et si besoin, en oprations, au pril de ta vie. The Legionnaires Code of Honor, Art. 6. Bienvenue! Today we're officially releasing the Arma 3 Apex: Old Man open-world singleplayer scenario. This new scenario is free for everyone who owns the Arma 3 Apex expansion. In support of the release, Arma 3 and all of its downloadable content will also be on sale with discounts of up to 70% between April 14-21. https://youtu.be/AkffiFKrozM

How to play Arma 3 Apex: Old Man?

If you already own Arma 3 and the Arma 3 Apex expansion, you just need to download the latest Arma 3 update (1.98) on Steam. Afterwards, launch the game, go to SINGLEPLAYER in the main menu, click on SCENARIOS, and select Old Man.
In Arma 3 Apex: Old Man, you assume the role of a retired Legionnaire living on the South Pacific island of Tanoa. When a new strain of malaria causes yet another humanitarian crisis, and local authorities fail to distribute an effective vaccine to the civilian population, you're tipped off about a possible plot. Together with a former military contact, you attempt to avert a catastrophic power play in the region.
The new scenario drops you into Tanoas 100 square kilometer tropical terrain with just a few instructions. Its up to you to find your way around, gather intel, obtain weapons and equipment, and decide on the best tactics to accomplish objectives. While the scenario aims to offer an authentic experience, you do have access to a few convenience features, such as the option to wait and skip time, and the ability to fast travel between known safe houses.
Arma 3 Apex: Old Man provides more than 10 hours of playtime. It's released together with a free platform update for Arma 3 (1.98). This update adds new static machine gun variants and several other assets to the game, and implements various fixes and improvements. The full changelog for update 1.98 can be found on the Arma 3 website.
The beta version of the Arma 3 Apex: Old Man scenario was originally released in December last year via the Arma 3 Steam Workshop. If you helped playtest the beta version, we recommend to unsubscribe from the Steam Workshop item and restart the scenario to avoid compatibility issues. Good luck out there! https://store.steampowered.com/app/395180/Arma_3_Apex/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/107410/Arma_3/

Just before heading into the winter holiday break, our developers still have one surprise for you in store: the beta version of the Arma 3 Apex: Old Man open-world singleplayer scenario is now available on the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1938939381 ]Steam Workshop! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1938939381 Arma 3 Apex: Old Man is free for everyone, but since the scenario takes place on the premium Tanoa terrain, it does require players to own the Arma 3 Apex expansion. By distributing the beta version via the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1938939381 ]Steam Workshop as an optional download, users do not need to switch to Arma 3s Dev-Branch to participate in its public beta testing. The story of Old Man is set within the shared universe of Arma 3s The East Wind and Apex Protocol campaigns (a.k.a. the Armaverse). You play as a retired Legionnaire living on the South Pacific island of Tanoa. When a new strain of malaria causes yet another humanitarian crisis, and local authorities fail to distribute an effective vaccine to the civilian population, youre tipped off about a possible plot. Together with a former military contact, you set out to uncover the truth.
The Old Man scenario drops you into Tanoas 100 km2 tropical jungle island terrain with but a few instructions. Its up to you to find your way around, obtain intel, weapons, and equipment, and decide on the best tactics to accomplish your objectives. While the scenario aims to offer an authentic experience, players do have access to a few convenience features, such as the option to wait and skip time, and the ability to fast travel between known safe houses.
Besides the Old Man scenario itself, the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1938939381 ]Workshop item adds a new static M2 .50 Caliber Machine Gun, as well as several new assets for Arma 3 content creators, such as a Tanoa CSAT reskin of the Zamak truck, a red beret, malaria-infected civilian characters, and various decals and inventory items. These extras will eventually be added to the Arma 3 base game via a free platform update.
Due to its experimental nature, the Arma 3 Apex: Old Man beta is placed inside the Bohemia Incubator. This is a label for projects that Bohemia releases to the public in order to try out new design ideas and/or gain more experience in certain areas of game development. Depending on user feedback and available resources, the plan is to add the Old Man scenario to Arma 3 via a platform update in 2020. When that happens, people will still need to own the Arma 3 Apex expansion to play the scenario but no longer need to subscribe to the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1938939381 ]Workshop item. https://store.steampowered.com/app/395180/Arma_3_Apex/ The beta version of Arma 3 Apex: Old Man scenario is now available for download on the Arma 3 Steam Workshop (click here). Testers are requested to report game issues to the Arma 3 Feedback Tracker, and post their feedback in the Workshop discussion section or the dedicated Bohemia forums thread. Happy Holidays!

It's here! Or should we say: they are here? Were proud to announce todays worldwide release of the Arma 3 Contact spin-off expansion! https://youtu.be/xeyf4Xf0eYU https://store.steampowered.com/app/1021790/Arma_3_Contact/ Declassified just a few weeks ago (watch announcement trailer), Arma 3 Contact arrives with a military science fiction singleplayer campaign that asks one huge question: what if humanity suddenly discovers extraterrestrial intelligence on Earth?
In the Arma 3 Contact campaign, you take on the role of a NATO drone operator deployed to the (fictional) Eastern European country of Livonia. After the discovery of an unknown subsurface object and the sudden arrival of a massive alien vessel, you are sent out on a reconnaissance mission to investigate the extraterrestrial presence. The priority: to learn who they are and find out why they are here. However, amid all the tension and chaos, armed conflict inevitably unfolds.
On top of the campaign, the Arma 3 Contact expansion brings with it many additions to the wider Arma 3 platform (watch sandbox trailer). The biggest of all is a new 163 square kilometer terrain, which covers the militarized and partly abandoned Nadbr region inside the Polish-speaking country of Livonia. This temperate summer environment is composed of forests, farmland, towns, railroads, the Biela river, and various special landmarks
Other highlights are the additional armed forces, namely the Livonian Defense Force and Russian Spetsnaz, 5 weapons, 2 vehicles, various gear, and a range of free bonus content for all Arma 3 players, including 100+ new decorative props and terrain objects. Furthermore, many of Arma 3s official multiplayer modes can be played on the expansion's Livonia terrain as well, with new scenarios for Zeus Game Master, Combat Patrol, and Warlords.
To start making first contact, you can now pick up the Arma 3 Contact expansion on Steam with a temporary 10% discount until August 1st. If you are entirely new to Arma 3, we advise getting the Arma 3 Contact Edition or the newly introduced Arma 3 Ultimate Edition, which bundle the Arma 3 base game and downloadable content at a significant discount. So, when you're ready, let's go say hello to our alien visitors. Enjoy! - Bohemia Interactive

Together with its third-party developer Vertexmacht, we are pleased to announce that the optional data for the Global Mobilization DLC (GM) is now available for download on the Arma 3 Steam Workshop. Subscribing to this Workshop item does NOT give you ownership of this DLC, but it will make it possible for those who do not yet own this DLC to join multiplayer servers that make use of GM assets, such as its weapons and vehicles. Please be aware that restrictions to the use of DLC assets will apply to non-owners (for example, premium weapons cannot be picked up, premium vehicles can be primarily used as a passenger, and you receive DLC purchase notifications when using premium assets). Also note that access to the GM DLC's Weferlingen terrain remains fully exclusive to owners of the DLC (similar to default Arma 3 DLC with premium terrains such as Arma 3 Apex/Tanoa). https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1776428269

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I subscribe to this item? If you subscribe to this Workshop item as a non-owner of the Global Mobilization Creator DLC (GM), then it will adopt the same Content Licensing system that is also used for default Arma 3 DLC. Some of the most typical use case scenarios for wanting to subscribe to this Workshop item are the following: You did not want/were able to purchase the DLC yet, and you accept restrictions to the use of its content, but...

• you want to join multiplayer servers that make use of GM content (note that this does not include access to the Weferlingen terrain);
• you want to be able to preview the GM DLC assets in the Virtual Arsenal;
• you want to access a community-made scenario, add-on, or mod that makes use of GM assets.

Why is Creator DLC data optional to install? Creator DLC is optional to install so that the default Arma 3 installation size (and update download sizes) remains manageable for all also for those who do not own or have interest in particular Creator DLC, and/or for people with limited storage space or slower Internet speeds/data restrictions. This is expected to become even more important in the future, when more Creator DLC of large data sizes might be released (for reference, GM DLC data is already about 20 GB). One other reason is that a Creator DLC's theme or setting might be very different from regular Arma 3, and not everyone might want that to be visible in their game. I already own this DLC. Should I still subscribe to the Workshop item? If you already own the DLC, you should not subscribe to this Workshop item to avoid the unnecessary duplication of data. Anything else? For more details, be sure to read the description on the "Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany: Compatibility Data for Non-Owners" Workshop page. All in all, we believe this provides a good solution in terms of enabling DLC owners and non-owners to still play together online as much as possible. Thank you for your feedback and patience and see you in-game! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1042220/Arma_3_Creator_DLC_Global_Mobilization__Cold_War_Germany/

Following its reveal in May, today we've published a brand-new trailer for the upcoming Arma 3 spin-off expansion, Arma 3 Contact which is scheduled for arrival on Steam on July 25, 2019. https://youtu.be/wpCQZdhnDAM https://store.steampowered.com/app/1021790 Narrated by Game Designer Scott Alsworth, the new trailer goes beyond Arma 3 Contacts extraterrestrial components such as its military science fiction singleplayer campaign to present a showcase of all the other sandbox assets that the Contact expansion will deliver to the wider Arma 3 platform, including a massive terrain, new factions, weapons, vehicles, and more. The largest addition is a 163 square kilometer Eastern European terrain, which covers the partly abandoned Nadbr region within the larger Polish-speaking country of Livonia. This temperate summer environment is characterized by its many coniferous forests, open wheat fields, towns, railroads, the Biela river, and many interesting landmarks such as an old munitions factory, an abandoned radar station, and dozens of old bunkers from World War II.
To support the new locale, Arma 3 Contact will introduce two small-yet-capable new factions to the game. These are the local Livonian Defense Force and the Russian Spetsnaz. Each of these will be equipped with their own gear and have access to a customized arsenal, and will be complemented by new character faces, as well as Polish or Russian radio protocols. Moreover, the expansion will add 5 new weapons and an unlikely pair of new vehicles in the form of the Mini UGV and Tractor. In response to first contact, there will also be various new game assets that are more closely connected to the theme of Arma 3 Contacts singleplayer campaign. These might have scripted gameplay functionality within the campaign, but will still be available as cosmetic-only items to players and content creators for use in the Arma 3 sandbox (e.g. multiplayer and scenario editor). Perhaps the most striking of these additions is the gear related to CBRN defense, consisting of over-garments, face masks, and breathing apparatus backpacks.
Lastly, Arma 3 Contact will bring along a variety of free bonus content for everyone who owns Arma 3. Specifically, NATO forces will be able to make use of a new woodland camouflage option providing better concealment in the Livonia terrain. Meanwhile, the local civilian population will see its wardrobe expanded with new outfits for farmers, looters, and scientists. To reinforce content creation, all Arma 3 players will receive more than 100 new terrain assets and decorative objects to use in their projects. Not shown in this sandbox trailer is the headline act of the spin-off expansion: the story-driven "First Contact" singleplayer campaign. Here, you will take on the role of NATO drone operator, Aiden Rudwell. When a massive alien vessel suddenly enters the Earths atmosphere, Specialist Rudwell joins an improvised taskforce and is sent out to investigate the extraterrestrial presence. However, amid the tension and chaos, armed conflict inevitably unfolds.
Arma 3 Contact is expected to land on July 25 and will be made available as DLC for Arma 3 on Steam. You can already pre-order the expansion (with a temporary 10% discount until one week after release), which will grant you immediate Sneak Preview Access to the new Livonia terrain, weapons, and more. If you are new to Arma 3, you might want to get the Arma 3 Contact Edition or the recently introduced Arma 3 Ultimate Edition, which bundle the Arma 3 base game with Arma 3 DLC at a heavily discounted price. For more information about Arma 3 Contact, visit www.arma3.com/contact. To keep track of all the latest news, also be sure to follow Arma 3 on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and right here on Steam. See you on Livonia!

Today we're pleased to introduce the Arma 3 Ultimate Edition!

So quickly pick up those DLC packs that are still missing in your collection, or simply jump into PC's premier military game for the first time, with the most complete, best value, and ultimate Arma 3 bundle to date. See you in-game!

What if humanity suddenly encounters extraterrestrial intelligence on Earth?
We're excited to present: Arma 3 Contact a spin-off expansion about the most important discovery in the history of mankind.

However, amid the tension and chaos, armed conflict inevitably unfolds.
Besides its story-driven campaign, the Contact expansion also brings various additions to the greater Arma 3 sandbox. One highlight is the massive new 163 km2 terrain set in the fictional Polish-speaking country of Livonia. With this new locale come two smaller yet capable fighting forces: Livonian Defense Force and Russian Spetsnaz. Furthermore, the expansion packs 5 additional weapons, 2 new vehicles plus variants, extra gear, a wide variety of decorative objects, and more.

Arma 3 Warlords Update is live

Large-scale competitive multiplayer mode, ADR-97 Weapon Pack, and more
Today we've released a free update for Arma 3, which introduces a new competitive multiplayer mode called Warlords. A trailer video explains the modes basic concept in the form of a military briefing. https://youtu.be/yACvGPlHejU In Warlords, there are two competing teams, and their goal is to capture the base of the opposite side. Players start the match by joining either the NATO or CSAT faction. Both teams then need to start conquering sectors across the map, belonging to non-player AI forces from the AAF faction. By establishing a chain of linked sectors, opponents can plan a route from their own base to their enemy's base. Once they reach their destination, they can stage an assault against the opposing sides base to win the game. During the match, players can also earn Command Points. The better an individual's performance on the battlefield and the more sectors held by their team, the greater number of points they will have available to them. These can be used to request airdrops with additional vehicles, special weapons, superior gear, friendly AI reinforcements, or strategic advantages such as fast travel and sector scans.
Besides the Warlords multiplayer mode, Update 1.86 also incorporates the ADR-97 weapon pack (which originally served as an official showcase mod) directly into the base game. That means players, but also content creators and server hosts, can make use of this family of weapons without needing to be subscribed to the mod on the Steam Workshop. Furthermore, the update adds characters to the game with special heads modeled after five prominent Arma developers. These are the result of an R&D project to test Bohemias new photogrammetry rig and the related workflow. This system should help to make the process of texturing faces and modeling head shapes more detailed and efficient for Bohemia's future games.
The 1.86 platform update, also referred to as the Warlords Update, is now available for free for everyone who owns Arma 3. The complete changelog can be found on the Arma 3 website. For those who want to learn more about our plans for Arma 3 in the next year(s), be sure to check out the recently posted Roadmap 2018 Update devblog. Good luck out there - may the best team win!

As of today, September 12th, it’s been 5 years since Arma 3 officially released out of Steam Early Access. Naturally, that calls for a celebration! A lot can happen over a period of 5 years. And, looking back, that’s certainly been the case with Arma 3. As a result of more than 70 platform updates, Arma 3 has become a very different animal compared to the original 1.0 version. There have been tons of tweaks and additions. Many of those have been so profound that now we couldn’t imagine living without, such as the 3D Scenario Editor. During its fourth anniversary, we shared a retrospective that charted our adventure until then, and earlier this year we posted an infographic with some of Arma 3's achievements and most impressive stats. For today’s milestone, we’ve prepared a timeline video that covers each of our key release milestones thus far. Click on the play button below for a quick trip down memory lane! https://youtu.be/CjL3_H1BqWw But that’s not all. Since Arma 3 has played such a major role in many of our lives these past five years, we wanted to create some unique physical memorabilia. Starting today, the Bohemia Store offers a limited number of 5 Years of Arma 3 Collector’s Packs. These are composed of true collector’s items: a hoodie, a soldier's salute laser crystal, and a printed map of Altis & Stratis. Additionally, we have a special t-shirt on sale. Find out more at https://store.bistudio.com/category/arma3-anniversary and place your order while stock lasts.
For those who have not yet enlisted for Arma 3 or have yet to pick up some of the DLC packs, we’re also hosting a special anniversary sale. You can get the Arma 3 base game and many of its DLC, including the Arma 3 Apex expansion, at up to 66% off. Reaping the benefits from 5+ years of post-release development, and with new content and updates still on the way, now is as good a time as any to jump into one of PC’s must-have military games. https://store.steampowered.com/app/107410/Arma_3/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/395180/Arma_3_Apex/ Finally, we know that as the game has evolved, most of everyone’s personal lives evolved, too. Since 2013, you might have finished your studies or started a new job. You may have moved to a new place and made some new friends. Perhaps you even got married and/or had kids. Or you've experienced some other defining life events. It makes it extra amazing to realize that, throughout all this, Arma 3 has remained such a bustling platform with one of the most loyal communities in gaming. You’re the absolute best of the best. Thank you for these 5 splendid years of Arma <3. Here’s to many more!

Arma 3 Encore Update now live

Destroyer ship "USS Liberty", SAM systems, radar sites, and more
The Encore Update is ready for boarding! Download the latest Arma 3 platform update (1.84) on Steam, and enjoy free new bonus content such as the "USS Liberty" destroyer ship, SAM systems, radar sites, anti-radiation missiles, small diameter bombs, plus various other additions and improvements. https://youtu.be/QBYuJYjCEC0 The highlights of the Encore Update include:

• "USS Liberty" Destroyer Ship - The NATO carrier strike group has a new addition; a destroyer-class ship with detailed interiors and new naval fire-support options. It's also capable of launching/recovering small naval vessels and helicopters. The USS Liberty is a static object that can be placed and moved around the map via the in-game Scenario Editor.
• "MIM-145 Defender" SAM System & "AN/MPQ-105" Radar System - A stationary missile system used by NATO forces that presents a beyond-visual-range threat to even the most modern of aircraft. It can make use of the Data Link connection via the AN/MPQ-106 radar system.
• "S-750 Rhea" SAM System & "R-750 Cronus" Radar System - The CSAT faction's variant of a stationary long-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) system capable of engaging aerial targets from beyond-visual-range. It works in tandem with the R-750 Cronus radar system connected via the Data Link.
• Anti-Radiation Missiles & Small Diameter Guided Bomb - Both NATO and CSAT receive new anti-radiation missiles, which are designed to auto-lock on ground targets that have their active radar sensor switched on. NATO fighter jets can also be equipped with new, relatively small, air-to-surface precision-guided bombs.

The new bonus assets were created by third-party developer BRAVO ZERO ONE Studios to celebrate the 1-year anniversary of Arma 3 Jets DLC. They are designed to provide even more opportunities for diverse and immersive military operations, while introducing more balanced options for ground-to-air combat and vice versa.
Besides the new sandbox content, version 1.84 also implements various adjustments to all of the official Arma 3 scenarios and campaigns released so far. These improvements are aimed at making sure that even the older playable content makes optimal use of the assets and gameplay features that were introduced to the game over the past few years. The full update changelog is available for inspection on the Arma 3 Dev Hub. See you in-game!

Even though Arma 3 was, we dare say, our most stable Arma at launch, the game has certainly come a very long way since then. In the past years, it has pushed beyond its Apex with even more content and platform updates. We've said it before, and we'll continue doing so; all of this was possible thanks to our community. Besides supporting our DLC strategy and constantly providing us with valuable feedback, you've helped grow the game into a platform with an incredible amount of user-made content that is enjoyed by the largest number of players to date. Arma 3 is definitely here to stay for at least several more years, and now that Tanks DLC has concluded our previous development roadmap, it's time to shed some light on where we plan to take things from here...

Arma 3 Laws of War DLC raises $176,667 for charity

Half of Bohemia Interactive's net revenue from Laws of War DLC in 2017 donated to ICRC
We're excited to announce that half of Bohemia Interactive's 2017 net revenue from direct sales of the Arma 3 Laws of War DLC has been donated to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The total amount raised is USD 176,667 (one-hundred and seventy-six thousand, six-hundred and sixty-seven US dollars - approximately EUR 143,543 or GBP 126,016). To further celebrate the special occasion, we published a special blog post, which includes a new trailer for the DLC, plus an infographic with statistics on how people played Laws of War's mini-campaign. https://youtu.be/0SLfgUJgbJ8
"With over two billion gamers worldwide, video games have an incredible potential to convey the importance of international humanitarian law (IHL). The collaboration between Bohemia interactive and the ICRC has been extraordinary and we have learned a lot from each other by exchanging ideas and our respective expertise on how to incorporate IHL into a video game. The success of the Arma 3 Laws of War DLC has shown us that video games are one of the many ways to reach new audiences and call attention to the fact that wars do have limits and rules. We are also very grateful that Bohemia Interactive will donate $176,667 to the ICRC, which shows their commitment to support our work, to help people affected by armed conflict and other situations of violence in over eighty countries." said Helen Durham, Director for International Law and Policy at the ICRC.
Bohemia Interactive's CEO, Marek Spanel: "We knew this DLC's theme might seem a bit unusual, but we also felt that it has a rightful place in a game like Arma 3. At the same time, our community normally expects more traditional content you'd see in a military game, such as new weapons, tanks, and helicopters. That has made it even more amazing to see the immense level of player support for the Laws of War DLC, which really shows again how both games and the gaming audience have matured. If you also consider that some of our players are in the military or might pursue a military career in the future, then we're glad this DLC has been able to increase awareness for this important topic. And being able to also make a financial contribution to the ICRC's efforts is a great bonus."

Arma 3 Tanks DLC rolls out on April 11

Developer diary video reveals new armored vehicles and more
Today we're finally announcing the release date for the upcoming Arma 3 Tanks DLC and are revealing its content and features. Available on April 11, Tanks DLC will deliver new armored vehicles, a mini-campaign, and a Showcase scenario - paired with a major free platform update introducing splendid new gameplay features and free bonus content. Watch the developer diary video for a first sneak preview! https://youtu.be/MOoXEg3cf8c The key features of the Arma 3 Tanks include:

• T-140 Angara - The T-140 Angara is a Main Battle Tank (MBT) of Russian design and is used by the CSAT faction. This vehicle is built to deliver maximum destruction, while providing the best kind of protection to its crew. The Angara's primary weapon is a new 125 mm cannon, which can fire three different kinds of ammunition, and has a longer effective range than the cannons on most Western tanks. Its secondary weapons are a 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun and a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun. Aside from the regular T-140, the Angara also comes in the T-140K 'Commander' variant, which replaces the heavy machine gun for a 30 mm autocannon, and is equipped with sensors to share target data via the Data Link with other units.
• AWC Nyx - The Nyx Armored Weapons Carrier (AWC) is of German engineering descent, but was licensed and modified by the AAF faction. Its smaller size makes it relatively fast and mobile, and even allows for it to be slingloaded by the CH-49 Mohawk helicopter. The Nyx comes in four variants: Anti-Tank, Anti-Air, Recon, and the Autocannon variant. All of these variants wear an armor jacket that is able to withstand 7.62 ammunition, but each vehicle variant carries different types of weapons or equipment to serve specific needs on the battlefield. Just like the other new vehicles in this DLC, the Nyx is available in multiple liveries.
• Rhino MGS - The Rhino is a wheeled Armored Fighting Vehicle (AFV) that is purpose-built to fight against tanks. For this reason, it's also referred to as a 'Tank Destroyer'. The Rhino MGS has a 120 mm cannon, which can fire all kinds of standard rounds, but also the new MARUK ATGM. It has a secondary weapon in the form of a coaxial .338 magnum machine gun. The Rhino also comes in the UP variant. This variant features an additional remote 12.7 mm heavy machine gun turret, and improved protection in the form of cage and ERA armor. It makes the UP more suitable for Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT), but does add weight and limits options for transport. Both variants of the Rhino are connected to the Data Link, which enables them to lock onto targets picked up or painted by friendly armed forces.
• "Altis Requiem" Mini-Campaign - Over the course of three singleplayer scenarios, you assume the role of an AAF tank commander, and you get to experience the opposite perspective of the NATO offensive featured in Arma 3's vanilla "The East Wind" campaign. Here, you're placed in command of the new AWC Nyx in the fight against the FIA. Later you're also presented with the opportunity to operate the new T-140 Angara Main Battle Tank. This short mini-campaign leads to different possible endings based on your playstyle and performance.
• Showcase Tank Destroyers - In this singleplayer Showcase scenario, you play as a NATO crewman on board the new Rhino MGS UP. This Tank Destroyer has similar firepower to a Main Battle Tank, but is much more vulnerable in terms of armor protection. As such, you will need to make good use of the Rhino's speed and maneuverability to complete your objectives.

Tanks DLC will be complemented by a major free platform update (version 1.82). This update introduces free new features and bonus content for all owners of Arma 3:

• One of the highlight of this update is the addition of fully-modeled 3D interiors for all armored vehicles in Arma 3. On top of that, the overall experience of operating armored vehicles will be enhanced in the form of improved handling, an extended damage model, vehicle customization options, and upgraded audio.
• Moreover, players will be able to make use of various new targeting options while fighting with or against armored vehicles; the Fire-Control System (FCS) automatically measures the range and speed of a target, adjusts a weapon's zeroing, and calculates the lead to increase the chances of a first-round hit, whereas new missile flight profiles and capabilities enable players to fire missiles in either a direct or top-down attack mode. The update will also add support for terrain-following munitions, plus a few weapons will now also have the ability to lock-on after launch.
• Aside from new features, the free platform update will also introduce a new team-vs-team multiplayer mode called "Vanguard", 3 new Time Trial Challenges for the new DLC vehicles, as well as free bonus content such as 2 new anti-tank launchers, and new vehicle variants of the Offroad pickup and Light Strike Vehicles that carry a mounted launcher.
• Lastly, Arma 3 content creators will be able to make use of a variety of free new decorative objects via the in-game Scenario Editor.

You can now also pre-purchase Arma 3 Tanks DLC with a 10% pre-order discount. Alternatively, you can pick up the Arma 3 DLC Bundle 2, which includes Tanks, plus the Jets, Laws of War, and Tac-Ops Mission Pack DLC. A complete overview of the content and features in Arma 3 Tanks DLC (and its associated free 1.82 platform update) is available at www.arma3.com/dlc/tanks.

SITUATION We're now closing in on the internal Beta milestone for the upcoming Tanks DLC. This also means that soon we'll start an internal localization lock and all new in-game texts will be sent to our translators. Furthermore, it means our internal build is being prepared for a Quality Assurance check, and after that the build will be closed to new additions from the devteam. All of these are good indicators of the DLC and its major platform update getting nearer to release. Full SITREP

SITUATION This SITREP breaks with tradition by starting with a brief announcement from Arma 3's Project Lead, Petr Kolář: "It's been two years since Arma 3's previous Project Lead, Joris-Jan van 't Land, officially announced that I would take over his role as Arma 3 Project Lead. During that time, we've maintained the direction Joris set out, and Arma 3 got in even better shape since then. A lot of credit goes to our outstanding community of devoted players and content creators, but of course also to our dedicated development team, who have worked tirelessly on improving this precious game. Looking back on many great accomplishments, it's now time for me to pursue a different role within Bohemia Interactive, and so I have the honor to name the next person who will pick up the mantle of Project Lead: Vojtěch 'Iceman' Kovařič. I can say with complete confidence that he's the best person to keep Arma 3 moving forward. Serving as my wing-man for some time now, Iceman was already the development guardian of the upcoming Tanks DLC, while also taking care of many Arma 3 Main- and Dev-Branch updates, as well as handling both internal communication, and some of the external communication (such as these SITREPs). With Tanks DLC, we're looking to introduce plenty of new improvements to the Arma 3 platform. Afterwards we intend to focus on stabilizing the platform and making it more stable for the many talented content creators in our community, which we believe ultimately benefits everyone. Arma 3 is more alive than ever, even though it's been more four years since the initial release, and with Iceman holding the reigns, its future is bright. Thank you for the support and for making the Armaverse better and better!" Lord of the Bounce, Project Lead (ret.) Full SITREP

Arma 3 Tac-Ops DLC Singleplayer Mission Pack is out now

We’ve just released the brand new Arma 3 Tac-Ops DLC Mission Pack!. Delivering a true boots on the ground experience on a large-scale battlefield, you’ll be taking part in three distinct singleplayer military operations, spread across seven missions. The DLC’s launch trailer presents a sneak peek at some of the combat situations in Arma 3 Tac-Ops. https://youtu.be/HAC5peaIX1g In Arma 3 Tac-Ops Mission Pack, you’re tasked to lead an infantry, mechanized infantry, and/or special forces unit across an unrestricted war zone. Here, you will be assigned multiple objectives to accomplish. Your keys to success are thoughtful mission preparation, careful movement and positioning, skillful shooting, and patience. Arma 3 Tac-Ops Mission Pack features three military operations spread across seven missions. Additionally, you can replay selected missions from the perspective of another unit. This, in turn, rewards you with a greater understanding of the operation as a whole. Furthermore, you can watch special After Action Report (AAR) videos, which are presented by one of Bohemia Interactive’s military consultants, and offer mission-specific insights on military tactics and combat. http://store.steampowered.com/app/758300/ Key Features in Arma 3 Tac-Ops Mission Pack:

• 3 Singleplayer Operations – Designed for the experienced Arma player, this Mission Pack features three challenging military operations (spread across seven missions):
  • Beyond Hope - Nine years prior to the "East Wind" conflict, civil war rages through the Republic of Altis and Stratis.
  • Stepping Stone - NATO reinforcements responding to the "East Wind" crisis must first secure the strategic island of Malden.
  • Steel Pegasus - During the invasion of Altis, NATO forces stage a daring air assault to open a second front.
• Authentic Warfare – Experience what true military combat is like with missions that favor intelligence, caution, and patience above all else. Fight alongside multiple armed forces, and lead your unit to victory, alive.
• Evolving Battlefield – Discover how your conduct and decisions on the battlefield can affect the operation by completing, failing, or ignoring (optional) objectives.
• Replayability – Replay a selection of missions from a different unit’s perspective to gain a greater understanding of the operation. Try out various tactics and figure out how to achieve your objectives in different ways.
• After Action Report (AAR) Videos – Develop your understanding of military tactics and combat with practical mission-specific insights from one of our military consultants.
• And More – Listen to newly composed music tracks, unlock additional Steam Achievements, and take advantage of new scripted systems to help create advanced custom Arma 3 scenarios.

Today we’ve unveiled the next downloadable content (DLC) for Arma 3. Available later this month on November 30, the Arma 3 Tac-Ops DLC Singleplayer Mission Pack challenges players to take part in three distinct military operations.
The Arma 3 Tac-Ops DLC Mission Pack consists of a set of missions that provide a true combat experience in an unrestricted war zone. Here, you will need to lead your brothers in arms through situations that require careful preparation, tactical movement and positioning, and skillful shooting – as well as the ability to adapt and improvise at a moment’s notice. The missions should take at least 8+ hours to complete altogether, which soon becomes more depending on your playstyle and difficulty settings. We also strongly encourage everyone to replay the missions with a different approach – or even from another unit’s perspective in some of the operations. The key features of the Arma 3 Tac-Ops Mission Pack include:

• 3 Singleplayer Operations – Designed for the experienced Arma player, this Mission Pack features three challenging military operations (spread across seven missions):
  • Beyond Hope - Nine years prior to the "East Wind" conflict, civil war rages through the Republic of Altis and Stratis.
  • Stepping Stone - NATO reinforcements responding to the "East Wind" crisis must first secure the strategic island of Malden.
  • Steel Pegasus - During the invasion of Altis, NATO forces stage a daring air assault to open a second front.
• Authentic Warfare – Experience what true military combat is like with missions that favor intelligence, caution, and patience above all else. Fight alongside multiple armed forces, and lead your unit to victory, alive.
• Evolving Battlefield – Discover how your conduct and decisions on the battlefield can affect the operation by completing, failing, or ignoring (optional) objectives.
• Replayability – Replay a selection of missions from a different unit’s perspective to gain a greater understanding of the operation. Try out various tactics and figure out how to achieve your objectives in different ways.
• After Action Report (AAR) Videos – Develop your understanding of military tactics and combat with practical mission-specific insights from one of our military consultants.
• And More – Listen to newly composed music tracks, unlock additional Steam Achievements, and take advantage of new scripted systems to help create advanced custom Arma 3 scenarios.

You can already pre-order Arma 3 Tac-Ops DLC Mission Pack with a 10% pre-order discount. Alternatively, you can buy the Arma 3 DLC Bundle 2, which saves you more than 25% over purchasing Arma 3 Tac-Ops Mission Pack, Arma 3 Jets, Arma 3 Laws of War, and the upcoming Arma 3 Tanks DLC separately. See you on the battlefield! http://store.steampowered.com/app/744950/Arma_3_TacOps_Mission_Pack/ http://store.steampowered.com/app/612480/Arma_3_DLC_Bundle_2/

Arma 3 Laws of War DLC is out now

Story-driven campaign, humanitarian faction, van, drone, and more
Following its reveal a few weeks ago, we today finally released the Arma 3 Laws of War DLC! The Arma 3 Laws of War DLC lets you explore a different perspective on the battlefield in a story-driven singleplayer mini-campaign, and enriches the Arma 3 sandbox via the addition of a humanitarian faction, van, drone, clothing and gear, and more. To further introduce the DLC, we’ve also deployed a developer diary video, in which Arma 3’s Creative Director Jay Crowe and Project Lead Joris-Jan van ‘t Land examine the new content, discuss the origin of the project and its development process, and talk about the our collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). https://youtu.be/oTFwIzCKfxM Instead of imposing any gameplay limitations, the Laws of War DLC aims to help players develop their understanding of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) by placing a stronger emphasis on the consequences of their actions. This is also one of the central themes in the “Remnants of War” mini-campaign. Here you take on the role of EOD specialist Nathan MacDade, who is tasked with deactivating mines after the war on the Republic of Altis & Stratis has ended. While being interviewed by an investigative journalist, you uncover what happened in the town of Oreokastro via memory fragments that let you experience the perspective of various sides, ranging from a NATO soldier, to a CSAT special operative, FIA guerrilla fighter, and local car mechanic.
On top of the mini-campaign, the DLC package adds a variety of new premium character outfits, vehicles, and weaponry to Arma 3’s sandbox. This includes the IDAP humanitarian faction (multiple character outfits), a van (multiple variants with over 20 liveries), utility drone (different variants used either for cargo transport or demining operations), the controversial APERS Mine Dispenser weapon system, new vests, bags, head gear and face wear, a paramedic outfit, time trial challenges, and more. The DLC is supported by a major free platform update, which delivers free new content and gameplay feature extensions to everyone who owns Arma 3. Its highlights include refined cluster strikes, the simulation of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO), improvements to the identification and deactivation of mines, the ability to drop custom informational leaflets from the sky using the new drone, a wide variety of emergency and medical supplies, faction-specific cluster bombs and bomblets, and many new decorative objects such as shelter tents and new furniture. In line with Bohemia Interactive’s existing DLC strategy for Arma 3, players who do not own the DLC will still be able to join multiplayer servers that make use of its premium content. However, some restrictions to the usage of the premium content will apply.
Last but not least, as part of the free platform update, there are also two free new Showcases available for all Arma 3 players. These individual scenarios serve as an introduction to the DLC’s theme and the new IDAP faction. In Showcase IDAP, you are a reporter visiting one of organization’s open days on Altis. Here you can learn more about IDAP’s history and activities. In Showcase Laws of War, you are a soldier attending one of IDAP’s instructional courses, in which you can run through three virtual training simulations that explain some of the basic principles of International Humanitarian Law.
The Arma 3 Laws of War DLC is now available for purchase on Steam. Half of Bohemia Interactive's net revenue from direct sales (not as part of bundles) of the Arma 3 Laws of War DLC in 2017 will be donated to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The total amount raised will be announced on www.bistudio.com in 2018. For a complete overview of the Arma 3 Laws of War DLC, please visit the official website at https://arma3.com/dlc/lawsofwar. If you wish to learn more about the project and its development, we also recommend you to read the OPREP: Laws of War devblog.
