The Free Weekend gives access to everything the Arma 3 base game and Apex expansion have to offer. This includes: 50+ weapons, 30+ vehicles, 4 massive terrains with a combined landmass of 450 km2, a singleplayer and co-op campaign, individual showcase scenarios, a tutorial prologue campaign, training courses, a variety of multiplayer game modes (including the recently introduced Warlords mode), and the powerful 3D Scenario Editor. Free Weekend participants will be able to carry over all of their save games and Steam Achievements when they decide to purchase the game.

Speaking of which, if you wish to continue playing Arma 3 after the Free Weekend, you will be able to purchase the game at just one third of its original price throughout the duration of the Free Weekend. The Arma 3 Apex Edition, Arma 3 Apex expansion itself, and all other Arma 3 DLC packs, will also be on sale - with big discounts ranging from a solid 20 to a whopping 66 percent.
