Expeditionary Forces is a premium DLC made for ArmA 3's Creator DLC programme. It was released on November 26th, 2024.[1]


Overview

« The Marines have landed! Explore new warfare capabilities in Arma 3 with the 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.
Official DLC Description
»

A mini-expansion to ArmA 3's Armaverse, Expeditionary Forces is focused exclusively on amphibious warfare with the introduction of the new Marine Joint Task Force (MJTF) BLUFOR faction. Static and mobile ships, as well as a (tracked) amphibious infantry fighting vehicle and modified configurations of the Hunter MRAP/AH-99 gunship are also included.

All proceeds made from the sale of Expeditionary Forces are shared between the developers of the DLC (Tiny Gecko Studios, the creators), the publisher (Bohemia Interactive), and the digital distributor (Valve).


NOTE: The content in EF is completely optional to acquire. Unlike inhouse DLCs developed and released by Bohemia Interactive, content is only downloaded if the user purchases the DLC.

Optionally, players can download a trial version from the Workshop which is intended for multiplayer compatibility purposes. The campaign is not fully accessible however, and vehicles still cannot be driven or commanded outside of the editor without purchasing the DLC.

Trivia

  • Expeditionary Forces is the first Armaverse-oriented Creator DLC to feature both smaller (mobile) transport craft and landing platform dock ships (albeit only static ones).
  • It was initially revealed on October 31st, 2024[2], but its official release date was not announced until fifteen days later on November 15th.[3]
  • Expeditionary Forces has (albeit limited)[4] cross-compatibility with two other Armaverse CDLCs: Western Sahara and Reaction Forces. If either or both DLCs are loaded simultaneously, some assets from those DLCs will be integrated into the MJTF faction's armoury and motor pool.[5]
