Terrain: Sefrou-Ramal
Located in the northeast of Argana, the mineral rich province of Sefrou-Ramal has been a hotspot of unrest for many years due to rival tribes, underfunded peacekeeping forces, and a foreign military presence. Characterized by flowing sand dunes and desert architecture, this 100km² terrain is composed of completely new assets, as well as upgraded structures and objects from Arma 2 and Arma 3, making it as beautiful as it is mesmerizing.
5 Factions
Western Sahara features the UNA peacekeepers, the Sefrawi Freedom and Independence Army, Tura tribe insurgents, desert NATO forces, and the return of private military contractors ION Services.
To accompany these new factions, a wide number of headgear, uniform, and combat fatigue variants, as well as new civilian clothes has been added, and will allow you to blend in perfectly with the hot and dusty environment.
8 New Rifles
Repel enemy forces with the powerful Israeli IMIL GALAT automatic rifle and its modernized South African licensed variants, the Velko R4 and R5. Need fire support? The SA-77 general-purpose machine gun will help you out. Alternatively, pick up the battle-tested Belgian SLR or the modern XMS bullpup rifle, or blow your way through enemy lines with the AA40 automatic combat shotgun while your teammates lob explosive payloads via the stand-alone GLX grenade launcher system.
12 New Vehicle Variants & 1 Static Turret
New and impressive variants of existing Arma 3 vehicles make their way into Western Sahara; The Marshall lineup has been expanded with a Command Vehicle, 60mm Mortar, and an Anti-Tank Guided Missiles setup. The classic Zamak rolls through the blistering terrain in a new flatbed, cargo, and anti-air variant. The Offroad vehicle comes equipped with desert and makeshift armor kits, and the Russian PO-30 Orca helicopter has been outfitted with modern, lightweight armor plates to protect against incoming small arms fire. Additionally, new variants of the MSE-3 Marid with a .50cal manned turret and the BTR-K Kamysh featuring a hunter-killer kit have been rolled out. Last but not least, don't forget the exceptionally remastered Arma 2 asset, the ZU-23 anti-air gun.
Equipment
Western Sahara features a selection of new gear that includes a gun drone with a modular weapon attachment system, a portable ballistic shield which can be easily deployed whenever necessary, and a variety of masks like dust goggles, a military-style headset, a ballistic mask, and more.
Open-World Scenario: “Extraction”

Multiplayer Mode: “King of the Dunes”

About Arma 3
Developed and published by Bohemia Interactive and released on September 12, 2013, Arma 3 is the definitive military simulation on PC — a game that asks more of its players than any mainstream shooter and rewards that investment with an experience nothing else in the genre can match. Set across two semi-fictional Mediterranean islands, Altis and Stratis, the game provides a combined 290 km² of meticulously detailed terrain covering dense urban environments, rolling hills, coastal towns, forests, and open plains that support every conceivable form of military engagement from long-range sniper operations to full combined-arms assaults across land, air, and sea.
The arsenal is extensive — 40+ weapons with customisable loadouts including short and long-range attachments, and over 20 vehicles spanning infantry fighting vehicles, tanks, transport helicopters, attack jets, and naval craft — all simulated with a fidelity that mainstream shooters never attempt. The single-player campaign follows Corporal Ben Kerry across three episodes — Survive, Adapt, Win — that track his progression from isolated survivor to squad leader across a conflict between NATO and the Canton-Protocol Strategic Alliance Treaty. Multiplayer ranges from official Defend and Seize scenarios to the Zeus game mode where dedicated Game Masters shape the battlefield in real time for other players. The real depth lies in the modding community — thousands of Workshop creations spanning total conversion mods, new factions, vehicles, maps, and entire new game modes have kept Arma 3 alive and expanding for more than a decade after release.
Arma 3 holds a Metacritic score of 74 on PC and a Very Positive rating on Steam with 90% positive reviews across more than 283,000 players — one of the largest and most sustained positive review tallies of any PC game ever released.

Arma 3 has one of the steepest learning curves of any game on PC. The control scheme is complex, the simulation fidelity is demanding, and the game does not hold your hand at any point. The built-in Bootcamp tutorials and Virtual Reality training environment help new players get started, but expect a significant investment of time before the experience clicks. Players who commit to learning Arma 3 consistently describe it as one of the most rewarding games they have ever played.

The game also includes focused showcase scenarios, firing drills, and Bootcamp tutorials for solo players. Multiplayer supports large-scale battles with no fixed player cap, official and community game modes, and the Zeus real-time Game Master mode.

Note that Arma 3 is CPU-intensive and large multiplayer missions in particular can stress even modern hardware.
