Publisher Bohemia Interactive and third-party developer Tiny Gecko Studios are excited to announce Arma 3 Creator DLC: Expeditionary Forces.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2647830/Arma_3_Creator_DLC_Expeditionary_Forces

Explore new warfare capabilities in Arma 3 with the upcoming Expeditionary Forces Creator DLC. Prepare your Marines for action on the Amphibious Warfare Ship, assault enemy shores with AAV-9 Mack IFVs and Combat Boats, bring supplies ashore with the LCC-1 Landing Craft, perform raids behind enemy lines with new Hunter reconnaissance vehicles, and take part in the invasion of Altis from a new perspective.

Key Features:

AAV-9 Mack - The AAV-9 Mack is an amphibious Infantry Fighting Vehicle capable of ferrying a squad of 13 Marines from ship to shore at high speed. It is equipped with either a 30mm or 50mm autocannon and a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun. It features an extendable periscope for the commander and hatches in the back to allow troops to turn out and return fire.
Combat Boat - The Combat Boat is a 17 meter long multi-role vessel. Its high speed, combined with a versatile design, makes it suitable for amphibious assaults, maritime patrol, and fire support. It can carry a squad of 16 troops plus crew, and can be fitted with a variety of weapons.
LCC-1 Landing Craft - The LCC-1 is a landing craft used to ferry equipment and vehicles from ship to shore. Its design allows it to change between a slow-speed shallow draft ship and a high-speed catamaran. It has a maximum payload of 200 tons and is capable of reaching speeds up to 35 knots (or 65 kph).
Amphibious Warfare Ship “USS Takmyr” (LPD-36) - The Amphibious Warfare Ship is the core of Marine Expeditionary Units. Acting as a floating barracks, it allows MJTFs to deploy all the assets required to sustain operations abroad. Named after the Takistani capital following one of Operation Arrowhead’s fiercest battles, the LPD-36 USS Takmyr is the ship assigned to carry the 29th MEU to Altis and execute Operation Resolute Cyclone. Its design features a flight deck with hangar for launching helicopters, and a well deck to launch landing crafts or amphibious assault vehicles.
One New Faction - The Marine Joint Task Force has arrived. It is a self-contained expeditionary unit capable of operating independently from amphibious warfare ships and specialized in fighting in littoral areas. It comes with a variety of new equipment, including helmets, vests, uniforms, night vision devices, and scuba diving gear.
Hunter Reconnaissance Vehicles - Taking advantage of the capable MRAP chassis, the Hunter Reconnaissance Vehicles greatly expand on their firepower and sensors. Three new variants are available: Fire Support Vehicle (featuring a 30mm rapid-fire autocannon and Titan missiles), Anti-Tank (featuring a dual Titan-NLOS launcher and 7.62mm coaxial machine gun), and Low Altitude Air Defense (featuring a 30mm rapid fire autocannon, SAAMI missiles, and short-range radar for drone detection).
AH-99J Python - At the request of the Marines, an upgrade for the AH-99 was developed in the late 2010s. Named AH-99J Python, the helicopter trades some of its stealth capabilities for long-range datalink antennas, more powerful radar, and external stores allowing it to carry a wider array of weapons, including AGM-122M Sidearm anti-radiation missiles and Titan NLOS pods.
Resolute Cyclone SP Mini-Campaign - On the eve of the NATO invasion on Altis, Marines from the 29th MEU are tasked with securing the western part of the island. Join the MJTF in this single player mini-campaign, use stealth to infiltrate enemy territory, cut the enemy off from reinforcements, and liberate Kavala from the AAF.
Rope In Hand MP CO-OP - A platoon from Light Armor Reconnaissance is tasked with clearing the road for the Marines who are rapidly advancing towards Athira. Hop in a Hunter FSV or Hunter AT with your friends in this multiplayer co-op scenario and strike deep into enemy territory.

New Features:

Airburst Munitions: The Hunter LAAD's autocannon is loaded with Airburst munitions which, when combined with radar targeting information, can easily destroy fast aircraft or small drones with just a few shots.
Enhanced Drone Detection: The Hunter LAAD features radar that trades detection range for higher sensitivity, enabling it to even detect small quadcopter drones up to a distance of 4 kms.
Titan NLOS: Long-range anti-tank missile that requires a datalink to gather targeting information, and can engage both laser and vehicle targets. Using ground following radar, it can fly past terrain obstacles and engage targets with no line of sight at launch up to 32 kms away.
AGM-122M Sidearm: The AGM-122M Sidearm was developed as a cheap alternative to more expensive and sophisticated AGM-88C HARM anti-radiation missiles. Converted from stocks of Falchion-22 short range air-to-air missiles, the Sidearm takes advantage of already existing mounts to give most western-made aircraft basic SEAD/DEAD capabilities.

Arma 3 Creator DLC: Expeditionary Forces is scheduled for release soon and will be priced at $7.99 USD (€7.99 EUR / £6.99 GBP). To be notified of the release of Expeditionary Forces, you can add the CDLC to your Steam wishlist via the store page.

In addition, on the day of the full release of the CDLC, Tiny Gecko Studios will publish a compatibility data pack for non-owners to the Arma 3 Steam Workshop. Subscribing to this Workshop item will allow those who do not own Expeditionary Forces to still play on multiplayer servers that use the assets from the CDLC. Restrictions on in-game use of CDLC assets by non-owners also apply. More information can be found on the Community Wiki.

Creator DLC is a label for original Arma 3 projects made by third-party developers and published by Bohemia Interactive. This program enables external talent to earn a financial reward for their work, while players get to enjoy more new quality content. For more information, please visit the Arma 3 website.
Why is Creator DLC optional to install?
We have decided to make it optional to have the Creator DLC data installed. This is mainly to avoid regular Arma 3 installations from requiring a lot more additional hard-drive storage, even for those who have not purchased a Creator DLC. Additionally, a Creator DLC's theme or setting might be very different from regular Arma 3 or not everyone might want it to be visible in their game.
How do I launch Spearhead 1944?
You will need to visit the DLC section in the Arma 3 Launcher, make sure Spearhead 1944 is owned and loaded, then launch the game by clicking the PLAY button.
Can I still play together with people who do not own the DLC in multiplayer?
To enable non-owners to still play on multiplayer servers that make use of Spearhead 1944 content, Heavy Ordnance Works has published a "compatibility data for non-owners" via the Steam Workshop. Be aware that access to the DLC's premium Normandy and Mortain terrains, campaign, as well as singleplayer and co-op scenarios remain exclusive to owners of the DLC. Restrictions to the use of non-owned content also apply.

Creator DLC

Creator DLC (CDLC) is additional content for Arma 3 made by third-party developers, and published by Bohemia Interactive. Our goal with Creator DLC is to provide more original quality content to players, create an opportunity for outside talent to earn a financial reward, while also making it possible for Bohemia to invest more into the Arma series' long-term future. To date, six different CDLCs have been released by five different third-party developers.
