The full official patch notes
These are the Highlights of Arma Reforger Version 1.0
Almost exactly one and a half years ago, the military simulation Arma Reforger entered Early Access on Steam. Today, on November 16, 2023, Version 1.0 is now available. In celebration of this occasion, developer Bohemia Interactive has released a version overview along with the complete patch notes on the Arma Platform website.
The patch notes consist of over 40,000 characters, making the list of changes quite extensive. In the overview, the developers highlighted four key features, which we will now delve into.
Highlight 1: Helikopter
Arma Reforger 1.0 introduces two types of helicopters, as seen in the image below. These are the UH-1H and the Mi-8MT, which the developer describes as meticulously recreated "iconic helicopters." According to them, these two aircraft offer functional instruments and controls, simulated suspension, and new rotor animations. All of this is aimed at providing the most realistic flight experience in the Arma series to date.
Arma Reforger offers couch soldiers two types of helicopters in version 1.0.
As for the function of these "versatile aircraft," they are intended to help players transport their troops and supplies to gain an advantage over the enemy.
Off to Jurassic Park? In this scene, Arma Reforger is reminiscent of the famous Spielberg movie.
Highlight 2: Completely Overhauled Supply System
To create a more detailed and exciting logistics system, Bohemia Interactive has given the supply system a complete overhaul. In previous versions, supplies were more of a general "point system," but now, supplies exist as physical assets or goods that can be found on both islands.
Supply trucks roll through the countryside with physical goods in Arma Reforger 1.0.
Starting from version 1.0 of Arma Reforger, players can load supplies into any vehicle and use them for a variety of purposes. Supplying player bases with provisions supports the strategic expansion of one's position on the island.
Furthermore, the Bohemia Interactive team has completely revamped the arsenal module and added new support structures, including maintenance points for both light and heavy vehicles, fuel supply points, and helicopter landing pads.
Highlight 3: Transport Requests
The third highlight of Arma Reforger 1.0 addresses the issue when players become separated from their squad and get lost on Everon or Arland. In such a situation, and in other cases, players can now request transport to various locations. To do this, all that's needed is to provide one's coordinates, and you can be transported directly to the vicinity of the squad leader or the assigned target.
Are you lost in Arma Reforger? Then from version 1.0 it is now possible to request a transport.
However, there are limitations, as mentioned by the developers in their update announcement. Transport cannot be requested too frequently and under any circumstances. Nevertheless, they are confident that the "current implementation is a fair and intuitive way" to help players stay with their team.
Highlight 4: New Assets
Also new in Arma Reforger Version 1.0 are several different types of assets. These include:
Wrenches and Repair Trucks: Repair trucks can repair damaged vehicles and can be spawned at bases with maintenance points for heavy vehicles.
Gas Stations, Trucks, and Containers: Refueling vehicles at bases is now possible with the new gas stations or on the battlefield using tanker trucks and containers.
Shovels: Building a base now requires using a shovel.
Med Kits: Medics can equip themselves with a med kit to support their team on the islands.
Resupply Packs: Used for mobile resupplying with ammunition and explosives.
6B3 Vest: Offers more protection than any other vests in Arma Reforger, but due to its bulkiness, it doesn't allow the wearer to additionally wear a chest rig.
Civilian Vehicles: Civilian versions of Soviet vehicles that players can drive are now available.
Arma Reforger 1.0 also offers new (civilian) vehicles.
Some repair trucks in Arma Reforger 1.0.
These highlights mentioned above represent only a fraction of the update's scope. Therefore, we will now present the original patch notes from the developers.

After graduating from high school, I initially wanted to study instrumental music. However, eventually I pursued a career as a video game journalist, which I started at the prestigious Ehapa-Verlag publisher, among others. Today, I share my extensive video game expertise with Guided. I benefit from over 40 years of experience with PC and console games, as well as my work in game development for the indie studio Knights of Bytes. I understand how video games work, and I also know how to convey my knowledge in an understandable manner.
