Arma Reforger’s New Xbox Update ‘Drastically Reshapes The Fight Ride’
We found ourselves discussing the Xbox release of Arma Reforger quite frequently when it was initially launched as a timed console exclusive a few years ago, but we’ve mentioned it less since it made its way to PlayStation late last year.
Nonetheless, this game appears to be thriving with a loyal player community, along with numerous updates – and this week is no exception as Arma Reforger update 1.3, dubbed the “fire support update,” has arrived.
This update is packed with fresh content, including new combat vehicles and helicopter gunships, realistic and immersive mortar systems, a brand new solo mission, and the ability to experience a “truly dynamic battlefield” for the first time.
Bohemia Interactive is thrilled to announce the release of Arma Reforger 1.3: Fire Support update. This latest update introduces a plethora of new vehicles, weapons, and gameplay improvements that significantly alter the combat experience. With devastating mortar strikes, helicopter gunships, and destructible buildings and trees, no area is guaranteed to be safe, and players must adapt in order to survive!
If you’re thinking about checking it out, Arma Reforger is available on Xbox for a price of £33.49 / $39.99, and while looking at the US version of the Xbox Store, it currently holds a user rating of 3.4/5 based on over 3,300 reviews.
We’ll summarize all the key points from Arma Reforger update 1.3 below, and we’re eager to hear your thoughts if you’ve played the game before – what are your opinions, and do you think it’s worth the investment on Xbox in your view?
Here are the main highlights from the latest Arma Reforger update on Xbox:
New Combat Vehicles & Helicopter Gunships
Two daring infantry combat vehicles have joined the fray. The LAV-25, armed with a 25mm M242 autocannon and a 7.62mm M240 coaxial machine gun, offers US forces a bold new frontline asset with a 7x optical scope for long-range engagements. Additionally, the BRDM-2, a lighter reconnaissance vehicle, boosts Soviet and FIA forces with its 14.5mm KPVT machine gun and 7.62mm PKT.
The UH-1H and Mi-8MT helicopters are not just transports anymore, as they now include gunship variants equipped with detachable rocket pods and advanced collimator sights for accurate targeting. With multiple ammunition options and increased firepower, pilots can dominate the battlefield from the skies.
Mortars & Destruction Mechanics
Arma Reforger introduces realistic and engaging mortar systems that empower players to suppress enemy advances, disrupt supply lines, and unleash havoc from miles away. The Soviet 2B14 82mm mortar and US M252 81mm mortar require collaboration with spotters for optimal effectiveness.
A truly dynamic battlefield is now a reality,
