AugCph has recently released a new mod titled Arma Factions Reimagined (AFR) on the Arma 3 Steam Workshop. AFR reworks 14 factions from the Arma series for the 2020s. This means factions from previous Arma titles have been modernized, while Arma 3's core factions have lost their 2030s "Futura" equipment and look.
Future updates will introduce more "Armaverse" factions, and a separate mod that will allow these reimagined factions to be used in Arma 3's official single-player campaigns and missions is also planned.
mtn gopnik has released a new terrain for players to try out! Maybe too small to even be considered a micro-terrain, Hash Mima Island makes up for its size with atmosphere and an attention to detail among its dilapidated ruins.
The terrain is based on the abandoned and uninhabited real-world Hashima Island of Japan. Many of you might recognize it as a filming location from the James Bond film Skyfall.
