The second campaign episode for Arma 3 bears the name “The East Wind”, and will continue the events of the first episode.
“While the first part of the campaign focused on the basics of infantry combat, this second ‘Adapt’ episode plays with the other cool features of Arma 3’s sandbox”, said Jaroslav Kasny, Playable Content Lead for Arma 3. “Players will find more open and unorthodox scenarios, and with the help of guerrilla warfare, set out to defeat a much stronger enemy.”
The new sandbox content for the next episode will be launched ahead of time, more exactly on the 11th of December 2013. The update will contain 3 new vehicles: the Wy-55 Hellcat helicopter, designed for aerial reconnaissance, the FV-720 Mora tracked infantry fighting vehicle, designed for combined armed warfare, and the MBT-52 Tank (we don’t really have to tell you what a tank is designed for, do we?). The update will also add new versions for the MX weapons, infra-red grenades and and LRPS sniper scope. While it may not seem as a very long list, Arma games take pride in designing perfect in-game replicas of every vehicle and weapon, so you can be sure that a lot of work went into implementing and testing these beauties.
The update will be automated through Steam, and the content will be available for free.
