Arma 3 Apex: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:06, 1 February 2021

Introduction

Arma 3 Apex is an expansion to Arma 3 released on July 11th, 2016.

Much like the previous DLC releases, this expansion features a premium content pack and is supported by a free platform update. Having purchased Arma 3 Apex, players gain unrestricted access to a new terrain packed with new objects, 10 new vehicles, 13 new weapons, a new campaign and more. Prior to the Apex release itself, Bohemia Interactive released game updates focused on bringing features and improvements to the game (to ensure their stability and incorporate community feedback). These were communicated with a #RoadToApex hashtag on Twitter and considered part of the expansion development itself.
