Arma 3 Marksmen

Arma 3 Marksmen adds ranged-combat content to Arma 3. You can hone your shooting skills with seven new weapons, take part in new firing drills and use long-range sharpshooting skills in a reconnaissance mission.

New weapons and equipment

The DLC adds five marksmen rifles and two medium machine guns for squad-based gameplay:

• Cyrus 9.3 mm: high-power marksman rifle.
• MAR-10 .338: high-power marksman rifle.
• Mk-I EMR 7.62 mm: medium-power marksman rifle.
• Mk14 7.62 mm: medium-power marksman rifle.
• ASP-1 Kir: special-purpose rifle.
• SPMG .338: lightweight medium machine gun.
• Navid 9.3 mm: medium machine gun.

The AMS and Kahlia medium-range scopes work with both the new and existing weapons. Two remotely operated laser designators let you spot and designate targets from afar. New ghillie suits for the NATO, CSAT and AAF factions provide camouflage for various terrain types.

Training and missions

Three new Purple Courses of Fire combine movement with medium-range shooting. In Showcase Marksmen, you use your new abilities and long-range sharpshooting skills in a reconnaissance mission.

Platform update content

A major Arma 3 platform update accompanies the DLC. Its content includes a team-based End Game multiplayer mode with experimental features, a vehicle-firing showcase, VR training courses, vehicle customization, protective gear and editor objects.

In End Game, teams use Dynamic Groups, Shared Objectives and Revive. Showcase Firing From Vehicles demonstrates the feature in a combat scenario for both singleplayer and co-operative multiplayer. Three new VR Training courses help you practice weapon handling, while the Virtual Garage lets you examine and customize Arma 3's vehicle collection.

The update adds three heavy and grenadier vests designed for improved explosive shielding and ballistic protection, along with nine types of face paint for concealment. New shooting-range objects for Arma 3 content creators include VR vehicle targets, balloons, swivel and dueling targets, shooting mats, a shot timer, a bullet trap and an air horn.

Combat features

Weapon Resting & Deployment gives you a passive accuracy bonus when your weapon or arms are near a stable surface. Bipods let you deploy your weapon firmly for greater precision. Recoil and AI suppression simulations are improved: personal weapons feel more powerful, and AI units suffer impaired combat efficiency when under fire. Sound enhancements provide a richer combat soundscape across different surroundings, at a distance and under incoming fire.
