APCs roll into the Arma 3 Beta



Calling in the support of two extra vehicles and the
BattlEye anti-cheat engine, Bohemia Interactive today released a major new update for the Arma 3 Beta.
The ‘APC Package’ adds the BTR-K Kamysh and
IFV-6c Panther, while the integration of BattlEye (BE) aims to improve the Beta’s MP experience.





The first vehicle in the APC Package, the OPFOR's
BTR-K Kamysh, serves as a prime example of first-class Russian engineering, The Kamysh is equipped with a
CTWS turret fitted with a 30mm cannon, coaxial machinegun and 2 guided AT missiles, making the vehicle significant in the infantry support role.




Its NATO counterpart, the IFV-6c Panther, boasts strong armor to achieve maximal protection for the transported crew.
A standard Panther is armed with a RCWS HMG, 40mm grenade machine gun and smoke flares. They can take up to 8 soldiers in the cargo area.

Another highlight in the update is the much-anticipated arrival of BattlEye - the anti-cheat software developed by BattlEye Innovations.
Providing a new layer of multiplayer security, this anti-cheat software helps server hosts detect and respond to multiplayer hacks.




Combined with various other improvements and fixes, players will download the new Arma 3 Beta update automatically via Steam.
The complete overview of changes is listed in the changelog and/or can be found on the official
Arma 3 website.
