Developer Bohemia Interactive has announced that “Reforger Weapon” has left the Early Access phase and is now available for Xbox Series and PC through Steam and the Microsoft Store. This open-world, multiplayer first-person shooter, set during the Cold War and acting as a precursor to Arma 4, initially launched in Early Access for both platforms on May 17, 2022.
“(Version 1.0) encapsulates the essence of Arma Reforger’s gameplay: it is complex, it is fun to play and the technical state has reached a level that we consider ready to leave Early Access,” explained Bohemia Interactive. “This does not mean the end of game development, and our team is working tirelessly to deliver on plans according to the project roadmap.”
Some of the key features of the full version include the introduction of the UH-1H and Mi-8MT helicopters, meticulously recreated in Arma Reforger. Developed around the same time, these versatile vehicles will assist in transporting troops and supplies to gain advantages over the enemy. With functional instrument panels and controls, simulated suspension, new rotor animations and an entirely new flight model, the Arma Reforger helicopter flight experience is the most realistic of all Arma deliveries to date.
In version 1.0, the supply system has been completely redesigned to create a deeper, more interactive logistics system that underlies the entire game. The supplies now exist as physical assets distributed across both islands, being able to be loaded onto any vehicle and used for a wide range of purposes. The new support structure includes maintenance points for light and heavy vehicles, fuel supply points, helipads, and much more!
If you’ve ever gotten separated from your squad and found yourself lost, wandering aimlessly around Everon or Arland, you’ll be happy to know that you can now request transportation to various locations! Mark your own coordinates and instantly transport yourself to the proximity of your squad leader or your squad’s assigned target. Of course, there are limitations on how often you can request transportation and under what conditions, but we find the current implementation to be a fair and intuitive way to help you stay with your team throughout the match.
