arma-reforgerUnleash New Firepower and Destruction

Bohemia Interactive is excited to announce the release of Arma Reforger 1.3: Fire Support update. This latest update offers an arsenal of new vehicles, weapons, and gameplay enhancements that significantly reshape the combat experience. With devastating mortar barrages, gunship helicopters, and destructible buildings and trees, no position is truly safe and players must adapt to survive!

You can find the trailer for the update HERE.

New Combat Vehicles & Helicopter Gunships

Two formidable infantry fighting vehicles have arrived on the battlefield. The LAV-25, equipped with a 25mm M242 autocannon and 7.62mm M240 coaxial machine gun, grants US forces a powerful new frontline asset with a 7x optical sight for long-range engagements. Furthermore, the BRDM-2, a lighter reconnaissance vehicle, strengthens Soviet and FIA forces with its 14.5mm KPVT machine gun and 7.62mm PKT.

The UH-1H and Mi-8MT helicopters are no longer just transports, as they now feature gunship variants with detachable rocket pods and advanced collimator sights for precision targeting. With multiple ammunition options and enhanced firepower, pilots can dominate the battlefield from above.

Mortars & Destruction Mechanics

Arma Reforger introduces realistic and immersive mortar systems that allow players to suppress enemy advances, disrupt supply lines, and rain destruction from kilometers away. The Soviet 2B14 82mm mortar and US M252 81mm mortar require coordination with spotters for maximum impact.

A truly dynamic battlefield is now a reality, as buildings collapse and trees fall. Mortar strikes, helicopter rocket barrages, and vehicle combat reshape the environment!

New Singleplayer Scenario: Elimination

A brand new singleplayer mission places players in the boots of a US Special Forces operative tasked with eliminating a high-ranking Soviet officer in Régina. Whether sniping from a distance, setting an explosive ambush, or infiltrating up close with a suppressed weapon, the mission offers multiple approaches to success.

Additional Enhancements & Overhauled Game Systems

  • Expanded Vehicle Logistics: Transport trucks (M923A1, URAL-4320) now carry up to 1,500 supplies. New UAZ-452 transport and cargo variants improve mobility and supply capacity. FIA forces now have access to UAZ-452, BTR-70, and BRDM-2 vehicles. Civilian variants of UH-1H and Mi-8 helicopters have been introduced.
  • Ranked Ammunition Supply Depots: Players must rank up before accessing more advanced weapons and gear, balancing the arsenal system.
  • Conflict Mode Enhancements: Players can no longer spawn on contested bases, making strategy and planning more critical. Capture timers now depend on radio network connectivity, increasing tactical depth. Smaller conflict game modes have been introduced for faster-paced battles.
  • AI Upgrades: AI soldiers now track moving targets better, take cover more effectively, counterattack, and execute flanking maneuvers, making them a deadlier and more realistic threat.
  • Arma Reforger 1.3: Fire Support update brings a unique level of battlefield intensity and realism. Bohemia Interactive invites players to test their tactical skills, master new arsenals, and experience the chaos of full-scale warfare. The battlefield is evolving!

    Modern Russian, Chinese and American jets join the battle

    Gaijin Entertainment announces that the “Hornet’s Sting” major content update for the military online shooter War Thunder is available to the players. Aside from the signature F/A-18 “Hornet” jet the update was named after, it also features Su-30SM, an advanced twin-engine Russian fighter, as well as J-11B, the backbone of the PLA Air Force. Dozens of other iconic military vehicles joined the fight, including 2S19 “Msta-S” howitzer, the Tracked Rapier SAM and the USS Colorado super-dreadnought featuring 16 inch guns.

    Watch the “Hornet’s Sting” Trailer HERE.

    Su-30SM is an advanced twin-engine fighter that can accelerate to a maximum speed of about Mach 2, all while maintaining amazing maneuverability for its size. AL-31F engines have rotating nozzles, allowing the pilot to change the direction of thrust — a feature known as thrust vectoring — along all axes during maneuvers, improving controllability at extreme angles. Su-30SM is equipped with a modern radar with a passive electronically scanned array (PESA radar), providing fast target coordinate updates in TWS mode, an RWR and a modern cockpit with multiple multi-function displays (MFD).

    J-11B is a Chinese modernization of Su-27 fighters imported from Russia, featuring a new radar, RWR, digital cockpit with a new heads-up display, new MFDs and domestically produced WS-10A engines, generating over 12,500 kgf of available thrust in afterburner mode. This upgrade significantly improved the aircraft’s rate of climb to around 235 m/s, while also improving its maximum speed and acceleration in level flight. J-11B is equipped with a mix of Russian and domestic high precision missiles and guided bombs.

    The 2S19 Msta-S is a self-propelled 152 mm howitzer with an automatic loader and a good selection of shells, including two HE shells with up to 11.7 kg in TNT equivalent, a HE-VT shell, a HEAT shell and an APHEBC shell. It’s huge in size and lightly armored, so using it usually requires finding a good position for sniper fire or going behind your teammates when attacking as a support vehicle. With a careful, yet aggressive playstyle, the 2S19 (M1 and M2 variants are available in the game) will show its best side thanks to immense firepower and good reload speed.

    More information in the content of the update is available at the official website.

    Rebellion has also launched an additional free content pack for all Sniper Elite: Resistance players, Fairburne’s Armoury Weapons and Skins Pack and two free new multiplayer maps.

    A trailer showcasing the new DLC content is available HERE.

    Vercors Vendetta Mission and Weapons Pack (Steam: $11.99, £9.99, €15.99, Consoles: $15.99, £13.99, €15.99).

    Despite destroying the primary Nazi stockpile of the deadly nerve agent Kleine Blume, one final cache survived! This stash has now been loaded into artillery shells ready for an imminent launch against multiple targets throughout France. With millions of civilian lives at stake, Harry Hawker launches a daring attempt to neutralise the remaining Wunderwaffe before they can be deployed.

    To help you complete your mission, the M1941 Rifle and Armaguerra OG-44 will be added to your arsenal. Used by the U.S Marine Corps, the M1941 is a powerful rifle with a 10-round high-capacity rotary magazine, requiring fewer reloads. Whereas the Italian Armaguerra OG-44 is a submachine gun that has a recoil mechanism housed above the barrel, resulting in extremely low vertical recoil.

    The Vercors Vendetta Mission and Weapons Pack contains:

  • The Vercors Vendetta Campaign Mission
  • M1941 Rifle
  • Armaguerra OG-44 Submachine Gun
  • Fairburne’s Armoury Weapons and Skins Pack (Free)

    The Fairburne’s Armoury Weapons and Skins Pack is free to all players and contains two character skins, along with the M.1903 Rifle and the M1A1 Gov. submachine gun. The M.1903 Rifle was the sniper rifle of choice for troops during the Allied Invasion of Europe. Sporting incredible range and muzzle velocity, this is a deadly addition to any sniper’s arsenal. The iconic M1A1 Gov. submachine gun delivers lethal .45ACP rounds. But you will need to get up close and personal as the SMG’s lethality is balanced by its heavy weight and limited iron sight visibility.

    The Fairburne’s Armoury Weapons and Skins Pack contains:

  • M1A1 Gov. Submachine Gun
  • M.1903 Rifle
  • Field Jacket Character Skin
  • Lieutenant Karl Fairburne Character Skin
  • The latest Sniper Elite: Resistance update will also include two additions to the multiplayer map roster. The Sniper Elite: Resistance exclusive St. Raymonds adversarial map, and the Sniper Elite 5 fan favourite Flooded Village No Cross map.
