Sniper Package sneaks into the Arma 3 Alpha

Prague, Czech Republic, Wednesday 6th June 2013

Right before heading out to Los Angeles for the E3 Expo, Bohemia Interactive released a content update for the Arma 3 Alpha. The ?Sniper Package? includes two powerful sniper rifles and supplementary ghillie suits

The first rifle, the Gepard GM6 Lynx, is a semi-automatic anti-materiel rifle using 12.7x108 mm ammo. Its purpose is to stop or disable targets such as light armored vehicles, armored rifle troops, light shelters and helicopters from 600?800 m range.

The second weapon, the M320R Long Range Rifle, is a .408 caliber sniper rifle, valued for its accuracy up to 2000 meters.

Furthermore, besides new camouflage clothing (ghillie suits), the Sniper Package also features sniper optics (long range scopes) and a rangefinder (special binoculars). All content will be added automatically via a Steam update (0.60), which also includes the ?stance indicator? and several other game improvements and fixes. The full details are listed in the changelog.

I've personally tested the heck out of the "M320", I've made accurate and lethal shots from 300 to 1300 meters on both stationary and moving targets, it's so much better then any type of sniping from A2, and the ability to actually zoom the range finder makes it so much better then the standard binos
