Entwickler Bohemia Interactive hat zu der Beta-Version von Arma 3 einen weiteren Patch veröffentlicht. Dieser bringt neue Fahrzeuge sowie verbesserte Sicherheitsmaßnahmen für die Militär-Simulation mit sich.
Bohemia Interactive bereitet nun langsam auf die offizielle Veröffentlichung der Militär-Simulation Arma 3 vor. Derzeit befindet sich das Spiel in der Beta und der Entwickler fügt durch Patches nach und nach alle wichtigen Features sowie Spielelemente hinzu. Patch 0.74 bringt etwa das sogenannte APC-Package mit sich, welches zwei neue Fahrzeuge enthält. Dabei handelt es sich um die Panzer BTR-K Kamysh und den IFV-6c Panther, welche beide Platz für insgesamt acht Insassen bieten.
Darüber hinaus können sich Spieler des Multiplayer-Modus über die Integration des Battleye-Cheatschutzes freuen, wodurch die Mehrspieler-Erfahrung verbessert und Cheater endgültig ausgeschlossen werden sollen. Außerdem bringt der rund ein Gigabyte große Patch zahlreiche kleinere Verbesserungen und Bugfixes mit sich, welche ihr unterhalb dieser Meldung in den Patch-Notes nachlesen könnt. Die Vollversion von Arma 3 soll noch dieses Jahr erscheinen.
