Arma 3's new Vietnam War DLC just added Navy Seals and Khe Sanh

Arma 3's latest creator DLC, SOG Prairie Fire, takes the sandbox game back to the Vietnam war. The third party developer that created the DLC, Savage Game Design, has just released a major content update for SOG Prairie Fire that adds in the US Navy SEALs, a bunch of new weapons and vehicles, and a huge new map of the Khe Sanh area in Vietnam's Quảng Trị province to the sandbox game.


The star of the show is the new Khe Sanh map, which includes about 225 square kilometres of varied terrain in and around the village of Khe Sanh. The patch also adds some new multiplayer scenarios set on the map, so you'll have a chance to explore along with some squadmates.


The 1.1 patch also adds a new faction, the US Navy SEALs, who come with some new uniforms and weapons. There are some fetching swim trunks and dive masks for scuba missions, as well as the Mk. 1 underwater defence gun - talk about wet work, right? Of course, there are also the M1A1 and M1928 Tommy guns, the commando and LMG variants of the M63A, the MPU machine pistol, and others.

SITUATION

Hello to all players and creators in the Arma 3 community! It has been some time since we last provided an overview of the state of Arma 3 development. We have just celebrated the 8th anniversary since initial release, and even in its 9th year, there still are many thousands of first-timers entering the Armaverse. That is incredibly cool, but we can also imagine many have not read through old reports and do not know about our actual support plans. So let us take a look back at the major milestones during 2021, check in with the Live Ops crew, and explain our perspective on the future of Arma 3. Buckle up, this is going to be a long one!
