When the call comes, nothing is more important than how fast you react. In this new Creator DLC, fast decisions with small squads are key. Reaction Forces offers new weapons, vehicles, gear, and more to rapidly react to a multitude of situations in new single and multiplayer scenarios, and to enhance your overall experience in the Arma 3 sandbox.
Key features of the Reaction Forces Creator DLC include:
- 2035 "Futura" Setting - Enhance your Arma 3 experience with new assets and content that fits seamlessly into Arma 3's narrative and world.
- Two New Rifles and Pistols - Equip yourself with the HADES H6 bolt-action rifle, Veles bullpup rifle, Mk26 L5 pistol, and G19 pistol. New optics and rail attachments are also available to customize these and other weapons for the mission ahead.
- A New Helicopter, Pickup Truck, UAV, and Two Static Mortar Systems - Run water bombing or Search and Rescue missions with the new Cougar Helicopter, cross rough terrain in the versatile MOOSE pickup, or support combat efforts with the new RC-40 Micro-UAV, Commando Mortar, and 120 mm Twin Mortar system.
- New Pylon Weapons Systems - Outfit your helicopter with formidable firepower with the 12.7 mm autocannon, 20 mm cannon DAR/DAGR x19 missiles, or Tratnyr HE/AP x16 missiles.

The Arma 3 Creator DLC: Reaction Forces is scheduled for release soon and will be priced at $7.99 USD (€7.99EUR / £6.99 GBP). To be notified of the release of Reaction Forces, you can add the CDLC to your Steam wishlist via the store page.
In addition, on the day of the full release of the CDLC, Heavy Ordnance Works will publish a compatibility data pack for non-owners to the Arma 3 Steam Workshop. Subscribing to this Workshop item will allow those who do not own Spearhead 1944 to still play on multiplayer servers that use the assets from the CDLC. It will also allow people to view the new Normandy terrain in Eden Editor in camera mode and inspect the assets in the Arsenal in-game before purchasing. However, playing on the CDLC's premium Normandy terrain and access to the campaign and mission scenarios will remain exclusive to the owners of the Spearhead 1944 CDLC. Restrictions on in-game use of CDLC assets by non-owners also apply. More information can be found on the Community Wiki.
