Authentic, open, and diverse - this is the PC’s premier military game at its finest. Welcome to Arma 3 Apex!
Prior to the Apex release itself, Bohemia Interactive released game updates focused on bringing features and improvements to the game (to ensure their stability and incorporate community feedback). These were communicated with a #RoadToApex hashtag on Twitter and considered part of the expansion development itself.
|premfeature1= [[Tanoa]] - Home to lush tropical vegetation, unique landmarks, a rich history, and imposing man-made feats of modern engineering, this 100 km² South Pacific archipelago is built to bolster authentic combat on a massive scale. Tanoa’s varied locations, such as the rainforests, volcano, shanty towns, sugar cane factory, and industrial port, cater to all scenario types. Whether it’s to conduct an all-out assault, a small-scale covert op, jungle warfare, or anything else suited to a South Pacific setting - Tanoa is the destination of choice. Your next adventure awaits.
|feature1 = '''Main Features'''
 
** '''[https://arma3.com/nexus Nexus Update]''' – [[MP_End_Game|End Game]], [[EG_Spectator_Mode|Spectator]], [[Arma_3_Soldier_Protection|Personal Protective Equipment]], [[Arma_3:_Stamina|Stamina]], [[Arma_3:_Launcher_-_Mod_Handling|Launcher Mod Dependencies]]
|premfeature2= '''New Faction, 13 New Weapons, New Uniforms & Gear''' - While looking to increase their strategic influence in the South Pacific, NATO and CSAT face resistance from a local criminal organization with deep roots on Tanoa. Consisting of armed thugs and ex-paramilitaries, this new faction, Syndikat, is involved in many illicit operations throughout the region, carrying familiar contemporary firearms like the AKS-74U, AKM, and AK-12 Assault Rifles, LIM-85 Light Machine Gun, RPG-7 Launcher, and the PM 9 mm pistol. NATO and CSAT, on the other hand, send in highly trained operators with state-of-the-art weaponry, such as the modular SPAR-16 Assault Rifle, the Chinese-designed CAR-95 family of weapons, Type 115 Assault Rifle, CMR-76 and SPAR-17 Marksman Rifles, and new thermal-masking uniforms, headgear, backpacks, NVGs (Night Vision Goggles), ERCO weapon optics, and more.

** '''[https://dev.arma3.com/post/oprep-visual-upgrade Visual Upgrade]''' – overhauled lighting configuration, water reflections, fog improvements
|premfeature3= '''Ten New Vehicles''' - The Apex expansion enables more gameplay opportunities by introducing new vehicle classes to Arma 3. Take advantage of the flexibility provided by the V-44 X Blackfish and Y-32 Xi’an VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft, which combine the strengths of fixed- and rotor-wing transportation. Need to move quickly on the ground? Navigate the rugged terrain of Tanoa with the fast and flexible Prowler or Qilin LSVs (Light Strike Vehicles). To complete objectives with minimal losses, Arma 3's arsenal is also reinforced by two new UCAV (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle) drones: KH-3A Fenghuang and MQ-12 Falcon. Plus, as could be expected in a tropical island setting, Arma 3 Apex includes suitable new civilian vehicles in the form of the MB 4WD Offroad Car, Caesar BTT Propeller Airplane, RHIB (Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat), and Water Scooter.
** '''Environmental Audio''' – extended ambient configuration, positional ambient sounds
 
** '''Vehicle-in-Vehicle Transport''' – transport suitable vehicles across large distances inside larger vehicles
|premfeature4= '''Co-op Campaign & End Game Multiplayer''' - Take on the role of a NATO CTRG special operator in the 1-4 player "Apex Protocol" co-op campaign. Connected to the events in the original Arma 3 "The East Wind" campaign, your team is sent to Tanoa in order to prevent a humanitarian disaster, but quickly find themselves facing a far bigger threat than they bargained for. The co-op campaign consists of highly replayable missions, featuring a drop-in/drop-out multiplayer structure, and the difficulty scales up or down based on the number of players. In addition to the co-op campaign, Arma 3 Apex adds two brand new End Game multiplayer scenarios on Tanoa, as well as a new singleplayer Showcase End Game scenario to familiarize players with the mode's objectives and rules.

When a new strain of malaria causes yet another humanitarian crisis, and local authorities fail to distribute an effective vaccine to the civilian population, you are tipped off about a possible plot and set out to uncover the truth.
** '''Weapon Switching''' – on-the-move, mappable actions, action menu streamlining
 
** '''Targeting Improvements''' – commanding visualizations, crew communication, weapon systems and indicators, virtual targeting pods
