Apex is the first major expansion pack for ArmA 3 and contains a brand new multiplayer-based Apex Protocol campaign that continues the story of The East Wind campaign.
It was also released with a set of new radio protocols in French, French-English, and Mandarin Chinese, along with a suite of Tanoan faces, and a Tanoa-based multiplayer Zeus Game Master scenario. Six new factions have also been introduced; conventional Pacific NATO/CSAT forces, CTRG/Viper special operations forces, Syndikat rebels, and the Gendarmerie.
In addition to the premium content, a selection of existing weapons, attachments, and vehicles have also been re-textured to suit the jungle environment.
Old Man Update
Released on April 14th, 2020, the Old Man free update includes a static turret version of the M2 heavy machine gun, several character items and clothing/headwear, alternate textures for existing vehicles, along with the Old Man mini-campaign/scenario itself.
Old Man is an open-world scenario in which players take control of a retired French Foreign Legionnaire as they investigate the mysterious cause behind the outbreak of a super-strain of malaria on the Horizon Islands.
With the exception of the Old Man mini-campaign/scenario, all other assets are available free of charge to both DLC and non-owners. They are included as part of the platform update, though the scenario itself requires the Tanoa terrain to play (and therefore, ownership of the expansion).
