Attention Soldiers,
Reinforcements have arrived! Just when you thought the frontline was reaching a stalemate, the Arma Reforger 1.2: Reinforcements update brings a host of new assets, features, and improvements that will assist you in your battlefield combat readiness.
AI Driving
Until now, only humans could operate ground vehicles in Arma Reforger. AI soldiers can now drive, navigate road networks, and avoid obstacles, opening up a world of possibilities for both cooperative and competitive gameplay. AI can also lay down suppressive fire with vehicle weapons, decide which crew member should man the weapons, and reassign a different crew member if the gunner is down.
AI Commanding
Take command of your fellow soldiers! Now, you can direct AI comrades to move to different waypoints, halt, lay down suppressive fire, heal one another, follow the squad leader, defend objectives, and get in and out of vehicles. These fundamental commands will allow you to utilize AI soldiers as weapons on the battlefield and more effectively carry out operations across the islands of Everon and Arland. Learn more about our implementation of AI commanding in our latest Dev Report.
Defensive Helicopter Weapons
Transport helicopters in Arma Reforger have been somewhat vulnerable since 1.0, especially when landing. We've installed mounted weapon turrets on the UH-1H and Mi-8MT to lay down suppressive fire and protect themselves against enemies. This upgrade is sure to change the dynamics of the battlefield, as helicopters are no longer just RPG fodder but a formidable threat to infantry and vehicles alike.
Flares, Explosive Charges, and Bayonets
This update introduces three key combat assets that will completely augment nighttime combat, battlefield sabotage, and close-quarters combat:
Flares - Until now, the cover of night has been all-encompassing, with no effective way to increase visibility without significantly compromising your position. We've added underbarrel grenade-launched flares to the game, allowing you to tactically illuminate wherever you fire them.
Explosive charges - The US and Soviet factions have both gotten their own explosive charges with detonators, opening up possibilities for sabotage, ambushes, and other explosive tactics on the battlefield. With both timed fuses and detonators, explosive charges will surely shake up engagements across the islands of Everon and Arland.
Bayonets - With attachable bayonets for all three factions, close-quarters combat has become even more deadly. Silently attack with an element of surprise or defend yourself against attackers in close proximity when the fight comes to you.
New Weapon and Assets
The Soviet arsenal has gotten another weapon! Introducing the AKS-74U - a lightweight, shortened variant of the AK-74 well suited for close-quarters combat. It's the perfect complement for an AT or medic loadout, allowing soldiers to specialize in their roles without compromising firepower.
In addition, new pilot suits and gloves expand your options for authentic kits for in-game factions, reinforced by multiple new soldier roles, including US and Soviet special forces units placeable by the Game Master.
New Game Master Features
Two of the most requested waypoint features for Game Master are now in-game!
Cycle waypoints allow you to make cyclical routes for AI soldiers. Previously, AI could just be sent from point A to B. With cycle waypoints, you can loop their patrol route indefinitely, making it easier for a Game Master to set up a scenario and create a more immersive environment for the players.
Linking waypoints allow you to link waypoints with entities. For example, you can now make a waypoint that tells AI to enter a particular vehicle or destroy a specific object. This added level of control will give you more options for creating scenarios and leading thrilling Game Master sessions on the fly.
And finally, the civilian faction is now available in Game Master mode. You can now utilize civilians in your operations and spawn them with randomized loadouts with percentage chance values for which gear they will receive.
Inventory Improvements
The inventory has received a massive overhaul, greatly improving functionality and performance. Inventory replication has been refactored, addressing performance issues caused by the previous system. Drag-and-drop has been improved, and the entire inventory UX/UI has received a cosmetic overhaul. We think the new inventory is a significant upgrade and hope you enjoy the new interface!
New AI Firing Behaviors
Next time you engage an FIA squad, you'll probably notice that AI soldiers can more accurately suppress your position thanks to our updated AI firing behaviors! In addition to suppressive fire being an AI command, AI will use suppressive fire to cover and suppress an area with both bullets and indirect fire grenades. They will also more quickly suppress suspected enemy positions if attacked and will do so for longer.
In addition, firing timing logic has been completely redone to achieve more natural firing patterns and allow the AI to better regulate the firing rate during different combat situations.
Deployable Radio Rework
Deployable radios have gone through several iterations already, and the latest version brings more to the table than ever before. Now, deployable radios can be refilled with supplies and use supplies in their immediate vicinity. Instead of abandoning a deployed radio that has run out of spawns, you can refill it with supplies to enable more spawns. This also means that radios cost 200 supplies, as they come loaded with 100 supplies worth of spawns. In addition, Game Masters have the option to switch between three different types of budgets for radios (unlimited spawning, supply usage, and limited spawn tickets), and a new use action visible to the owner of the radio allows for spawning with loadouts to be disabled.
Additional Features
Finally, we have three new features that address issues identified by our community:
Vehicle unflipping is now in-game, so you can get out of a bind more easily if you accidentally overturn your vehicle. However, be aware that the feature often requires teamwork, just as it would in the real world.
Copilots can now take over the controls of a helicopter if the pilot is incapacitated.
The "get-in/get-out" refactor addresses several issues with vehicles. Now, opening the door and getting into a vehicle are two separate actions. This means no more repeatedly opening and closing helicopter doors; now, you can get in or out of any vehicle while leaving the door open. As a part of this factor, vehicles without roofs that go careening through the air and flip over can also eject passengers, and passengers exiting vehicles traveling at speed can be seriously injured by doing so.

Added: Methods to SCR_Enum for retrieving next and previous enum values even from modded enums
Added: RepairSmokeHandlingConfig.conf which has default definition for smoke removal when vehicle is repaired; thus new and modded vehicles that don't inherit from Vehicle_Base.et should use it for the initial setup of SCR_VehicleDamageManagerComponent.m_RepairConfig
Added: RigidBody component template in Ammo_Rocket_Base.et, same GUID as Ammo_Rocket_PG7VM.et
Added: RigidBody component template in Ammo_GrenadeLauncher_Base.et, same GUID as Ammo/Ammo_Grenade_HE_VOG25.et
Added: SCR_CharacterControllerComponent.ComputeHitReaction in script, so the hit effects can be customized
Added: New logic has been added to editable entity components to allow for Variant of prefabs when a prefab is spawned (by editor or, for example, as a player character)
This means that Characters can have random variants. It can even be set up to ignore the original prefab, such as in the randomized characters that can be placed in Game Master. Additionally, the variant randomization is not limited to characters. Any editable entity can be randomized, though by default, they are not as it is more performance-heavy. When creating a composition, one can add entities with variants to the composition; running the "Create / Update selected editable entity" tool will automatically tick true the "Randomize Variants" bool on the EditorLinkComponent. Every entity in the composition is checked to see if it has a variant. Randomization of entity variants when spawning an entity can be achieved with the new variant of the GetGame().SpawnEntityPrefab() function.
Added: Functionality of placeable items that can also be attached to other objects (e.g. check M112 explosive charge)
Added: Better visual feedback when it's not possible to insert an item into a storage.
Added: Ammo type indicators for magazines and grenades, visible in the item slots and hints.
Added: Gadgets - WeaponNoFireTime attribute to prevent weapon fire while gadget is selected
Added: Getter for sights position, front, and rear point PointInfos
Added: SCR_Math3D static method GetRelativeLocalTransform, able to create relative transform between two BaseGameEntity members of same hierarchy. E.g. use is in 2D and PIP sights (moved to SCR_EntityHelpers)
Added: Disclaimer for modding about damage over time API in SCR_ExtendedDamageManagerComponent.c
Added: Turrets can now use grass flatten components
Added: Script API GarbageSystem.GetTrackedEntities() for modders.
Added: Density and penetration resistance of material's ballistic info affects damage output - the higher, the less damage is dealt
Added: Script callback for light state changes in light manager
Added: Now you can also specify some init speed coeffs for which you want to generate precise data, so they are not interpolated.
Added: TurretControllerComponent API for ADS states: SetWeaponADS, SetWeaponADSInput, GetWeaponADSInput
Added: Vehicles - Shifting RPM curves in car controller debug
Added: Ability to change arsenal game mode allowing items to be available in specific game modes. Game Master arsenal is unrestricted, and all items are available

Added: Script API for getting the node of BaseRplComponent
Changed: HitZoneContainerComponent.GetAllHitZones now only returns hitzones contained on that hitzone container.
Changed: All character-related scripts listening to bleeding invokers and events have been reworked to use damageEffects API
Changed: Damage - SCR_DamagePassRule now handled in SCR_HitZone and SCR_DamageManagerComponent, using HijackDamageHandling
Changed: Renamed EFireState to SCR_EBurnState
Changed: Weapon attachment costs for arsenals are now separately calculated. Allowing modders to add the base value to all weapons regardless of the attachments and the attachment separately in the catalog lists and they will be counted up together

Changed: Weapon obstruction parameters were changed so they allow to control new 3-phase approach
Changed: Disabled supplies usage for the MPTest world
Changed: SCR_ArsenalManagerComponent::ARSENALLOADOUT_COMPONENTS_TO_CHECK variable is now filled by SCR_ArsenalManagerComponent::GetArsenalLoadoutComponentsToCheck method. This makes this part of the code more moddable
Changed: Weapon_Base.et now has WeaponAnimationComponent
Changed: Inventory layouts have been reworked, and their scripts have been updated accordingly
Changed: User Action - Added default compartment definition (value 0 which equals to default value for driver/pilot compartment) to config files for light user actions
Changed: Gadgets - In SCR_FlashlightComponent renamed m_LenseArray to m_aLenseArray so prefabs that use this functionality will need to be updated
Changed: Gadgets - Gadgets that are attached to SCR_EquipmentStorageSlot will be informed when that slot occlusion changes by triggering SCR_GadgetComponent.OnSlotOccludedStateChanged (bool occluded)
Changed: Inventory - Visible storage slots have to disable UseVirtualInventoryReplication (ref: check FlashlightSlot in Jacket_M70_base prefab)
Changed: Base Game mode now has all components to have arsenals working in the world. This might cause duplicate components if the components were added manually
Changed: Added Explosion damage and changed config used by explosion impulse effect in Warhead_Shell_HE.et
Changed: Weapons - Turrets ADS camera position prefers SightComponent's "Sight Position" over now obsolete TurretComponent "Camera ADS Attachment"
Changed: Gadgets - Marked in SCR_GadgetComponent method CanBeToggled as obsolete since it will be replaced by GetUseMask
Changed: LightSlot now saves ParentSurface attribute as name instead of index. Prefabs might need re-saving
Changed: Damage diags to see HitZone health has been moved to GameCode->Damage->Type of damage info
Changed: Moved GetAncestorToLocalTransform() to EntityUtils
Changed: Optics - Separate RegisterInputs and HandleSightActivation, HandleSightDeactivation methods for scripted sights components
Changed: Now clearing damage history when it becomes redundant
Changed: Radio coverage calculation is now handled by SCR_RadioCoverageSystem. Please update your Conflict base prefabs with SCR_CoverageRadioComponent to ensure correct functionality. This component also sets up the Main bases in Conflict via the "Is Source" toggle.
Tweaked: Scope prefab inheritance of character modifier attributes
Fixed: Damage - SCR_DamagePassRule ignored root damage manager if hitzone struck was already in root damage manager
Fixed: Entity catalogs of the same type now merge correctly on init
Fixed: Weapons - Turrets without ADS camera attachment no longer lag behind gun rotation, as long as they have SightPosition defined in SightComponent
Fixed: SCR_ResourceSystem::RegisterContainer and SCR_ResourceSystem::RegisterDynamicComponent now only register on authority
Fixed: DamageManagerComponent OnFrame isn't called when activated
Fixed: CharacterControllerComponent SetWeaponNoFireTime was not functional
Fixed: GetAncestorToLocalTransform() failed on non-BaseGameEntity owner
Fixed: JsonLoadContainer not reading back root-level entries correctly
Fixed: DotDamageEffects work at half the speed
Fixed: Broken regen and added improved API for canBeHealed
Fixed: Spawning a character through DefaultOccupantName does not attach the vehicle graph and makes the character stand in the vehicle seat
Removed: Having DamageManagerComponent::EOnContact exposed to script could result in too many calls and performance issues.
Removed: Damage - SCR_DamagePassRule no longer supports damage over time
Removed: Damage - SR_DestructibleHitzone attribute m_fPassDamageToParentScale is obsolete and is no longer supported
Removed: HitRegManager.et, HitRegistrationManager.c, and all references in the layers for the worlds
Removed: Optics - Unsupported attributes of SCR_2DOpticsComponent and SCR_2DSightsComponent
Removed: CharacterInputContext::SetVehicleCompartment, ::GetVehicleCompartment, ::SetVehicleAction, ::GetVehicleAction. To get the compartment character, use CompartmentAccessComponent
