SITUATION
Yesterday we published the Arma 3 Tac-Ops Mission Pack to Dev-Branch and we're now starting to collect feedback. Our plan is to publish a Release Candidate later this week. Internally, data lock has been applied, which means all data changes are now carefully evaluated and packed manually to ensure a stable build. There's still a good amount of work to be done, but we can't wait to apply the last layers of polish and officially release Tac-Ops into the wild!

Today we’ve unveiled the next downloadable content (DLC) for Arma 3. Available later this month on November 30, the Arma 3 Tac-Ops DLC Singleplayer Mission Pack challenges players to take part in three distinct military operations.



The Arma 3 Tac-Ops DLC Mission Pack consists of a set of missions that provide a true combat experience in an unrestricted war zone. Here, you will need to lead your brothers in arms through situations that require careful preparation, tactical movement and positioning, and skillful shooting – as well as the ability to adapt and improvise at a moment’s notice. The missions should take at least 8+ hours to complete altogether, which soon becomes more depending on your playstyle and difficulty settings. We also strongly encourage everyone to replay the missions with a different approach – or even from another unit’s perspective in some of the operations.

The key features of the Arma 3 Tac-Ops Mission Pack include:

• 3 Singleplayer Operations – Designed for the experienced Arma player, this Mission Pack features three challenging military operations (spread across seven missions):
  
  • Beyond Hope - Nine years prior to the "East Wind" conflict, civil war rages through the Republic of Altis and Stratis.
    
  • Stepping Stone - NATO reinforcements responding to the "East Wind" crisis must first secure the strategic island of Malden.
    
  • Steel Pegasus - During the invasion of Altis, NATO forces stage a daring air assault to open a second front.
• Authentic Warfare – Experience what true military combat is like with missions that favor intelligence, caution, and patience above all else. Fight alongside multiple armed forces, and lead your unit to victory, alive.
  
• Evolving Battlefield – Discover how your conduct and decisions on the battlefield can affect the operation by completing, failing, or ignoring (optional) objectives.
  
• Replayability – Replay a selection of missions from a different unit’s perspective to gain a greater understanding of the operation. Try out various tactics and figure out how to achieve your objectives in different ways.
  
• After Action Report (AAR) Videos – Develop your understanding of military tactics and combat with practical mission-specific insights from one of our military consultants.
  
• And More – Listen to newly composed music tracks, unlock additional Steam Achievements, and take advantage of new scripted systems to help create advanced custom Arma 3 scenarios.

You can already pre-order Arma 3 Tac-Ops DLC Mission Pack with a 10% pre-order discount. Alternatively, you can buy the Arma 3 DLC Bundle 2, which saves you more than 25% over purchasing Arma 3 Tac-Ops Mission Pack, Arma 3 Jets, Arma 3 Laws of War, and the upcoming Arma 3 Tanks DLC separately.

See you on the battlefield!
