Third-party Arma 3 developer Savage Game Design and publisher Bohemia Interactive have released a major content update today for the Arma 3 Creator DLC: S.O.G. Prairie Fire. Update 1.2 adds a new 25 km2 terrain, as well as multiple new factions, vehicles, weapons, equipment, missions, and more. To celebrate the new release, S.O.G. Prairie Fire will be discounted by 25% for a limited time on Steam.
Update highlights
- New terrain: "The Bra" - This unique new terrain, covering 25 km2, enables players to design and run missions around an infamous section of the Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos, nicknamed “The Bra” by MACV SOG units, due to the road shape, viewed from the air.
- Updates to Cam Lao Nam - The 1.2 update adds the US Embassy in Saigon and the train station and new city buildings in Hanoi - each recreated from period photographs and thoroughly detailed to add more immersion to urban fighting. Numerous new Vietnamese city house models have also been added.
